i remember sitting here on this couch spring and summer of last year, watching reba re-runs with my mom and dad and counting down the days until i'd be headed off to my appalachian experience.
tonight i sit and i am worn out. i feel like all my energy has been sapped out of me, and i'm about to start year two of appalachian. i am excited. i've never looked forward to summer being over until now. i'm just... ready. i can see the light at the end of the college tunnel, but i still have enough time to plan out things like internships and summer study abroad trips.
sometimes i forget that i am still so young. i've been feeling a little of the "quarter-life crisis" lately. my friends have careers and husbands and internships and degrees and plans and opportunities. i can't help but feel a little behind.
maybe i just need to take the last week before classes start and do a little sam retreat.
-buy school supplies
-re-work the budget system (that i've been slacking on BIG time)
-write down a list of goals for this semester
-start planning internships and study abroad
-vocal warm-ups
-take charge of my body, because a refreshed body gives way to a refreshed spirit (for me, anyway)
-read a feel-good fiction novel
-finish my p.o.t.p. (painting on the parkway)
tiger lily is sitting on my lap as i type. holy cuteness.
