(no subject)
so this summer i have one class to take then i am officially graduated from college! yay!!!
and being a graduate of NIU, i've decided that i need to have some hobbies... taking that i have never really had a hobby before. i know this is highly pathetic. :) but oh well.... in the past i've been too busy with either school or friends to pick up a hobby... now i need something to fill the school portion of my life.
in the name of learning, i've decided that my hobby will be drums. my friend drew is teaching me. today was my first lesson. i think i'm doing pretty well. i've learned three beats and i am moderately switch between two of them. i am just lucky that i can go to my church whenever i want to practice. although, my arms are pretty tired now... i'm thinking that later tonight i'm going to head back to church to practice when no one can hear me.
even though drew is one of my closest friends, it's mildly embarrassing having him teach me. i can't explain it. it's like i'm ashamed that i'm not perfect at the drums. i just sit there and giggle at myself the whole time. he must think i'm sooo retarded. but i am... a little. :)
so that's my hobby. i'm hoping that by the end of the summer i'll have enough money to buy my own drum kit. i want to continue to practice even after i move back to naperville.
other than that... my life has consistently stayed the same. these are my last two months here in dekalb. and dekalb is just as boring as it has always been. i'm lucky to have made the friends that i've made this past year because so many of them are sticking around. which makes it a lot less lonely than past summers.
working at the army is fun. i love spending so much time with alex and aimee. and aimee is a wonderful employer. i know she's worried that working together may put a strain on our friendship, but i'm not. having this job is too much of a blessing to become a burden. i'm sad that i won't be watching the girls this summer like i had planned on, but i'm sure that is also a blessing from God. so i'm thankful.
beginning in july or maybe as early as june, i'll be looking for a job near naperville and adrienne and i will be looking for a place to live near naperville. i can't wait to live with her. she has been my best friend for ten years now! wow!!! it may be a little stressful at first, but our friendship has already endured so much, i think that living together for a few years won't break it.
as you can see... in the past month or whatever my life hasn't really changed. i'm still waiting for a man... but i'm not concerned about it like i was in the past. i'm enjoying be me and being single too much to worry. life is looking up.
