A good friend of mine told me awhile back how much of a scatterbrain I am. I lack a sense of focus. And I think this trait of mine has made me become ... and yes I'm going to say it ... a little bored of volleyball. I mean, I know I can get better and I still have a lot of fun playing what I would say is my "primary" sport. But ... I don't think you are going to see me prowling around Ashbridges as often as I did last summer. My attention span for anything is like a two year old's. I'll love something a lot for a little while, then I simply..tolerate it...then I simply despise it. I don't want volleyball to be something I'll despise...I want it to be in my life for years to come. So I'm going to play in moderation. Everything's good in small doses right? so to answer the question as to why i don't come out and play volleyball as much as my fellow volleyball peers...i guess that's my answer.
But to turn away from the slight negativity...there's a lot of things I'm extremely excited about for the summer. I think I'm going to like this one course I'm taking "contemporary moral issues". Call me a nerd but I think I'll be able to incorporate a lot of the things I learn from this course into my everyday life. My aunt has given me her hybrid bike..so all I need to do is tune it up and it's good to go. My uncle has agreed to help me through my progress, which will be good because I think I should be spending more time with my family members anyways. Speaking of which, I definitely have to visit my grandparents more frequently this summer. Then there are the books that are just waiting for me to be read throughout the whole summer. My good friends also seem quite excited to go bouldering/rock climbing so I think I'll go with them a couple of times. I think my main focus this summer is to start riding long distances. I mean, I'm capable of doing it on rollerblades...I'm pretty sure I can pick it up easy...but it'll still take time for me. Oh yes, of course....I can't forget the rollerblading. It's one of those things I actually don't mind doing alone at all, so hopefully I'll have a little fun blading across the city again. :). Then there's the huge backpacking trip I'm ridiculously ecstatic to go on. This is why I went to UofT...so I'd have a little bit of cash for me to go travelling! Then in august...depending on who I can find to go with me...I'm going to go up to northern ontario and check out the organic farms there for 2-3 weeks.
I did want to learn how to read and write chinese this summer..but I think that will have to wait until a later date.
anyways...I really like this genre of music...lounge music? from the 1950's to 1960's. If I had to think of one word to describe this kind of music...I'd say: mysterious. I don't know why...I feel like the genre of music and the word just fits together perfectly.
