Summer Mode
I think a couple of nights ago, I was going to post some angst about how fast junior year went and how bizarre it is to be so close to college, blah blah blah whatever. I'm happy right now. I've slipped into summer mode completely, so it's a good thing I don't have an exam tomorrow and don't have to go in because it would be such a bizarre shift that I don't think my brain could handle it.
This is my official summer anthem:
Isn't it adorable? "If it gives you joy, then you don't have to explain it." I think that's my new philosophy for life.
My plans for the summer:
- Write a ton
- Make some music videos since I just learned how
- Start my summer reading BEFORE August
- Make money somehow
- Finally take driver's ed
- Go outside more
- Marathon Metal Gear, and Buffy, and FMA, and Soul Eater, and pretty much everything else I'm supposed to watch/play
- Go forth into the world and hang out with people more often
- Ignore my inner wizard angst
And I'm pretty excited about ALL of that. Even the making money bit. It's cool, because this is the first year in a while I don't have a camp or anything to go to, and even though I miss Nerd Camp terribly, it's nice to stick around and see what cool shit I can do here. I've always kind of lamented that I live in such a godawful boring town, but at some point I think I need to learn to make my own excitement.
So. This summer I'll channel Neil. "Whenever I'm sad, I stop being boring and start being AWESOME." All together now: IT'S GONNA BE TOTALLY AWESOME! ~
EDIT: I wanted to tell someone this but I can't make it my FB status because it'll embarrass my brother so I'm putting it here. I was sitting in the kitchen interwebbing and stuff, and I heard my brother upstairs singing, except I wasn't really listening because it's pretty normal around here. And then I look at me mom...and we realize at the exact same time that we are listening to a 19-year-old guy sing Endless Love alone in his room. AND NOW I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING.
