this is weird. having an actual summer vacation. no job. no school. no nothin'. i haven't been in this position since junior high. it feels both right and wrong. i find myself wandering aimlessly around the house overwhelmed by this new-found freedom. granted, i did take a summer course back in june/july, which was pretty intense (4 month course packed into 5 weeks/4 days a week), but after that i've been on pure vacay. i know i'm an adult when i actually look forward to going back to school.
there are a million and one things i could do, but somehow i always find a way to avoid doing them: "i don't have enough time" or "i don't have the right (fill in the blank)." maybe the real reason i don't dive in is fear of failure...or sheer laziness.
here is a sampling of the things i could do but have yet to:
1. organize and label abundance of digital photos in photo library
2. put said photos into albums
3. clear the clutter (boy, is there clutter to clear...)
4. stain windows
5. something creative
6. watch the plethora of films i've lined up on netflix and greencine
7. spend time with people i haven't seen in a long while
8. create playlists for tasks 1 through 5
actually, i got my shit together and started #4 -- staining one of the windows in the living/dining room. so proud of myself. however, the day is going by faster than usual and i don't think i like it. to reward myself, i'm having drinks with an old friend this evening. look at that, combining #7 and cocktails! wow, all of a sudden i'm a multitasker.
