*phew!* It's been a while since I've written. I really have no idea where to start, but if I don't get back into writing then it will never happen.
The trouble with busting your butt all year studying is that when summer rolls around, NOT studying feels very strange indeed! Of course I have high hopes of getting some studying done during the next 6 weeks of no class, but really, I'm kind of sick of summer and would like to learn some things again.
My solution: do all the things I never have time for during the year!
Great idea, right?
Except it's funny how all those things you wanted to do kind of fade away when you actually have the time to do them. . .
So, my summer fun list includes the following:
- visiting museums (famous ones that I never see and don't like visiting with other people because, frankly, I want to read all the signposts at my own pace, thank you very much!)
- learning to bake a really good pie (mission accomplished!)
- taking that pie baking skill and making it even better
- not gaining weight from all those pies I'm going to have to make....
- organize my room. something I've been meaning to do since I moved in over a year ago! but you know...there was all that studying!
- read books including works by C.S. Lewis and Victor Hugo (they happened to be the ones I had)
- work on my Arabic (a language I started studying during undergrad)
On the museum front I have been partially successful. Visited the latest Body Worlds exhibit today, and wowza. It was awesome! Highly reccomend it. As for the rest....those things are happening little by little. But maybe just a little bit more lazing around? I do deserve it for passing all my classes....
