September, but school's not in session.
I've been playing basketball and swimming regularly these past couple of weeks. This comes as a surprise to me as I have always been just about the laziest person I know, and now I'm... exercising. I'm not doing it for health or physical reasons, but mostly because it's something to do that also happens to be good for me. And this also gives me something else I can have in common with my guy friends aside from just watching movies and drinking too much.
Also taking up a lot of my time is catching up on my reading. After years of mostly academic reading, I've finally rediscovered the pleasure of reading for leisure, something I think I lost not long after I started high school. My current project that I started early in August is to get through all the unread books that I own. So far, I'm only on the third book. However, I started off with a Margaret George book that was almost 900 pages, so I think that gives me an excuse for the slow start.
I've put the job search on hold, mostly because I need a little reprieve from the hopelessness I feel whenever I try. And also a little because I'm thinking more and more about law school. The most attractive thing about it to me is that, if I can get in a school within the top two tiers, it seems rather impressive. It's a degree i could boast about (not that I would...), and opens up more options than I currently have right now. Oh, and it gives me a couple more years to put off the real world.
I keep harping on this subject, but I haven't actually done any active steps to doing this. I suppose it's time to change that.
And to end this entry on a more positive note: I have this really, really awesome bruise on my right shin that I got from swimming. It's a result of repeatedly climbing out of the pool to do belly flops, and covers about half the shin. It's at the really angry-looking purple/yellow stage right now. I think I might put the D40 to use and take a picture of it.
