July…
Well friends, I know it’s been a while since I last checked in with you all, but my last few weeks have been rather dull. From waking up and going to work and then just reading until it’s time for bed again, I’ve pretty much made my summer schedule as relaxing as possible. It’s not that I am not motivated to do anything other than those things, it’s just nearly impossible to fit anything else in when you work from 8 to 5. The bulk of the sunlight is used up and my brain is usually so fatigued that all I can do at the end of the day (after I work out for an hour or so) is try to rejuvenate myself for the next day. So based on my personal experiences over the last three months, my advice to all people is this: if you are typically an outdoorsy or extremely active person, find a job that allows you to do those types of things!!!!
But really, summer is going well. I miss camp and working outside with kids a lot, but my current job has it’s rewards as well. I will say that I have learned a better appreciation for those individuals who can do a 40 hour a week office job! It is hard! And often more taxing than I ever had expected.
My main goal for the rest of the summer is also centering around preparation for senior year. It is coming fast and I need to take every opportunity to make it the best, most exciting, and most intense experience of my life thus far. So, reading up about job opportunities, apartments, and other such things has become increasingly integral in my day to day existence.
I’ll write again soon! Until then, keep your head up!
