In the line of duty...
I figured I would make my quick update of the beginning of the summer and end of school year before I'm completely out of energy. It's weird being home this time, weirder than it has been and I can't put my finger on it. It could be knowing that when I go back to school this time it may feel a lot more empty knowing that lots of the people I came into school with will no longer be there or just the sadness that I didn't leave with them. I keep saying that I wasn't ready to graduate, but once I saw the ceremony I wished I was with them like I should have. Last semester was not a good academic semester and I will leave it at that, no posting of my grades here.
I now have my badge and uniform at work (I need to get a good photo to show at some point) and have already been given the responsibility of having shifts while being the lone officer on duty. I'm out in the sun a lot more than last year and it's taken a huge toll on my energy levels. I still refuse to drink coffee or have other caffeine, so I will have to just get lots of sleep and hope that my fitness level catches up. I have been trying to keep up a workout routine to keep myself physically fit and hopefully it will pay off.
So far this summer is a social bust, minus the fun quick trip to Amherst which was good. With the mid-day/evening shifts I've been getting by the time I am done I am either really tired or it's after midnight. I can't keep doing this because I don't want to get into a rut again. It's nice that work is pretty social, but I need some sort of social outside of work.
I'm glad I was able to upate before I passed out. I may have made a mistake by offering to help out tomorrow by coming in early. I will be getting overtime, but it means that I'm at the beach from 10am-12am, 14 hours of work in one day.
Good night and I hope everyone is having a good summer so far.
