School’s out forever

And I have photos to prove it. The set is here.

Past week
Joy, Jeff, and Arlene came up for the week and we ate a lot of food. That is pretty much all my family does. We eat, and eat some more.

Since school’s been out: Movies, Music, Food, Drinks, Shopping, Chilling out. And working. I sort of feel like I should have a break between things but it’s sort of been this seamless transition between one institution to the other. But at the same time I sort of feel like I have this momentum going and I’m not sure what I’d do if it just stopped abruptly. If I wasn’t working I’d still be making things. I think I just have to make things, whether I get paid for it or not (although it’s nice that I do). I’ve come to realize it just keeps me sane.

Mid-point
Now that it’s about midway through the year I thought it’d be a good time to check up on those new years resolutions. I get to cross off the top two (graduate and get an internship). I’m sort of still working on that third one. I lost 5 lbs and then gained it back again rather quickly, so still a work in progress.

Still need to get some traveling in this year. Arlene’s tales of Hawaii, Paris, and London have made me want to take some time off even more.

Meeting new people/being more social I think I’m constantly having trouble with. On one hand I think I’ve met a bunch of interesting new people this year, but I think I should be trying harder to be more social and keep in touch with people. Trying to be less socially awkward seems to be a reoccurring theme/goal in my life…
