I think I've found a new way to pass time and get great exercise. Road biking. On my brother's road bike. I think I want to get my own road bike. For right now, I want to start off biking at least 5 miles at a time and work my way up from there. The only bad thing about this is I'll get a crazy ugly tan.
Oh, and I've rediscovered the joys of reading for leisure/pleasure. I think I would really want to write as a side career. Or at least write a novel... just because I can. Maybe I should wait until I've taken more English classes before I say this, eh? Oh well.
I think I'm liking this summer arrangement just a little more. Or at least I'm seeing a better side to it... for now. Clarity. Being my own person. Being free. Freedom from outside opinion. I think I really do need to start learning how to listen to myself better. I've decided that others' opinions/output on certain situations are often really useless, and quite frankly, detrimental to me. I am really trying to be COMPLETELY independent in every way - which means that I now also think independently, without the input of my often irrational mother or peers. I now know that only I know what I truly want, what decisions to make, and what's really good for me and my future, and god it feels good. Not to say that I've figured out my life. Just that I have a little piece of clarity for this ephemeral moment. Finally.
