summertime

...and the livin's easy


Short weeks of blissful langour unhindered by deadlines, and unencumbered by dates or hours. That has been my summer, and though it will soon change form with the approaching blocks of time cut out for work and school, I plan on keeping the breeze about me- that breeze in my step that only summer brings. The ease is what I love.
I've had freedom to take pictures, have long conversations, watch countless movies, read a little, sit and listen to music, dance around my room to music, and just experience life in its daily form with the one I love-all of this with no raincloud lingering overhead, waiting to end the fun and holding me captive with a tight squeeze of responsibility. During the school year, there is always something I should be working on, and I have found that it is difficult for me to compartmentalize work and fun, because the work overwhelms. Even when I have fun, no matter how deep I bury it, there is part of me thinking about the fact that I have plenty to be doing, or that I will be doing, or that I should have been doing already. Horrible bondage. Perhaps if I take the ease of summer into my schooling in the next 10 weeks, I will learn to carry it over into the year.

plans:
10 hours of summer school (genetics+lab, polysci (puke), abnormal psych)
working at Sweet Eugene's
working in the lab- starting thesis research
hopefully taking various roadtrips
