Summertime blues?
Life is pretty dull right now. I'm just working with not much else going on. I start a class at Berkeley in a few weeks and I start full-time school at SF State in three months and my employment prospects are pretty unclear during that time.
Tutoring ends in two weeks and I'm really bummed about it. I've had some great students and I have a wonderful time with them for the most part and my life is going to be a bit more empty after the semester is over. Summer students are just not as good, they're usually resentful at being in school and would certainly rather be playing outside than going to tutoring. We'll see how it goes, though.
I have some nice things on the burner (The National concert tonight, Utah trip in a few weeks, Himalayan Fair this weekend) but for the most part this summer is looking pretty bleak. I don't remember how to enjoy passing the time, really. I wish I could trade my schedule with Michael, he thrives on free time far more than I do, and I need a busy schedule to keep me motivated. Plus he works too hard and I don't work enough. Win-win.
Yes, grad school is starting soon, but rather than being excited about it I'm just really hoping it'll put an end to this stretch of bleakness. Maybe it's just depression and I'm not feeling too great about my life and the choices I've made right now, or maybe it's just because I can't really see what's in front of me. I hope I'll get excited about it later. At the very least I'm looking forward to having a bit more of a social life instead of just leeching my boyfriend's life force all the time.
But instead of being overly mopey in this entry, I'm going to make it interactive - help me brainstorm good summer activities!
Poll It's summertime(ish)! Wooo
