You know, one of the problems with summer school is that you're generally focused on only one class at a time. And you would think that you would be occupied enough so as not to ever be bored out of your mind. I certainly thought so when I started the July session, since I was taking 3 classes at the same time and at least one of those classes looked to be time consuming. Here it is July 25th, and already I've completed my assignments for the summer, and have next to nothing to occupy the majority of my days with! Some people would be insanely happy about not having homework during their day, and I suppose I'm one of the few college students who goes absolutely crazy with nothing to do that requires time and thought. So far this week, I've managed to kill at least 2 hours a day with exercising, walking a mile at the gym and doing 10-15 minutes of other exercises to work the parts of the body that don't do much when walking.
Yeah. That's what I thought you would say. "Who exercises in the summer when they don't have to?" I do! I've made a promise to myself this summer to try and exercise more and eat healthier. I started out walking with one of my classmates, but I quickly discovered that wasn't going to work as she wasn't exactly motivated to be faithful to a schedule of walking every week. Another thing I've been working on is a latch hook pillow. I hope to have it completely finished by Christmas to give it to a special little girl in my life that I love a great deal (my niece)! My parents bought me the latch hook kit last summer to work on while I was bored, but I will admit, it's laid neglected in my closet up until this week. On a completely different note: since Netflix introduced all 6 Star Trek series on instant streaming last fall, I've been slowly working my way through each one. It started with Enterprise, and I'm roughly halfway through The Next Generation right now. I used to hate TNG, but as I've watched more and more, it's started to grow on me and is not as annoying as it was. When I finish TNG, I hope to watch all of the Original Series, as I've already seen all of Voyager one or two times. Okay, so that's not impressive compared to most things in the world, but when you're bored and have nothing better to do, you start all kinds of crazy things. I should go to the library and get a library card, but the motivation to do this has not existed. Besides, when I start rotations in August, I probably won't have much time OR energy to read much of anything!
Well. This entry killed about another 15 minutes of my day. Time to find more ways to make the day pass more quickly....
