I have a couple goals for the summer that I'm going to try my best to do:
1) Read. This past semester i only wrote one essay out of class, and those i wrote in class that were about the books i read were so easily graded that i simply never read the book and still passed with a very good grade. I need to get back into the unlazyness of reading. Sitting still and concentrating on reading-even if it's a book i wanted to read-is surprisingly hard. So i'm thinking, what's going to happen if it's not what i want to read? Honestly i think i just need to get back into the habit/enjoyment of it.
2) Volenteer. As soon as my dad gets back from Europe I'm going to volenteer hopefully on all my days off work, if not most of them. I found a site that listed all the volenteer organizations in the area as well as the description of what the person would expect to do. My plan is to try a bunch of different places-from building houses to helping at animal shelters to fundraising to assisting old people in nursing homes and playing games and such with them.
3. Buddhism. I used to be so interested in this religion, and over time I got so busy and drifted away from it. But just this morning I've been texting my friend Alex about it and I just realised how much i missed it and the serenity you get from it. The temple is in Silver Spring so I'm not expecting to go there too often, but simply practicing this lifestyle is amazing in itself.
