the annual update...
so im a little behind on updates...i guess i'll fill you all in on the latest. Teaching swim lessons to 7 year olds is really fun, except they learn so fast that im running out of stuff to teach them! We've covered all the strokes and even some dives...I'm out of stuff to teach! I guess for the last 2 days i'll just let them have fun.
In other news, i have entered a new era of Miles. Mary and i went on a shopping trip the other day in attempts to make me stylish...i must say, i am very impressed with her choices as far as directing me in what clothes to buy. I really like the kind of stuff i got...but no worries, im not metro or gay. I'm getting a haircut tomorrow [ ;) ], or rather a trim. Apparently i have let this hair grow a little too uncontrolled (im told it looks like a mullet, or at least some kind of 80s haircut). I really don't care, as long as i end up with some decently long hair.
The second part of my new era isn't as fun tho. Im kind of having identity problems. I really don't kno how to classify myself anymore...im not a swimmer, or any athlete at that. the majority of the people that have been part of my everyday life are all going to be far away in just a matter of days. Some only as far as Ann Arbor, but just the same, i feel a great sense of separation. I guess this is almost an opportunity tho, to make a whole new identity for myself. I could be a more preppy indie kid (most likely what it's gonna be) or i could become a party animal (...not really me). I could be a rasta pothead (but i don't think i'd have fun with that). I think what it's gonna be is a non-collar-popped indie-attempting style kid and i think im gonna finally pick up this guitar for real now. I'll be able to take lessons through my school, and get credits! Who knos. The world is open right now, and im finally realizing what a terrifying thing this is. I guess i can only do my best...I've got my close friends that'll return soon enough and a remaining few that are still here. I've got plenty of things to keep me occupied, and I've got a great girlfriend that's there for me. Eventually the identity that is mine and mine alone will become apparent, and i'll fell a gratifying feeling of confidence...or at least that's what im banking on.
The best of luck to you all next year, im always around to talk to!
PS...tell me which job sounds like me:
1) chauffeuring for a handicapped kid and serving as a babysitter, Mon & Wed 2:30-6:30 (low-decent pay)
2) Working at best buy and probably getting torn apart by hours meaning little free time (probably high pay)
3)working somewhere else, like the video store in dexter [constant contact with the local friends :) ] (pay?)
