Throwback to High School Musical...anyone? Nah? Alright.
Well, now that I've revealed my nerdy, lover-of-cheesy-Disney-movies, side, let's all just take a moment to relish in the fact that my high school career is over! As a student anyways (I might just be back in a few years, we'll have to see what God has in store).
But anyways, now that school is out, and all the craziness of graduation is (mostly) over, I thought that it might be a good idea to get all caught up with this whole blog thing (admittedly a project that was ill-timed and ill-focused). I'm still not exactly sure what I'm seeing this being, but I'm working on it definitely, and I think a pattern will emerge after I get in some sort of a routine.
Because it is summer, and all of the sudden I have some free time, I have been thinking about some things I want to accomplish before I leave for school in the fall. Some of these are goals I want to achieve in hopes of "setting myself up for success" when I leave home (sorry about the cliché, I have no excuse). I don't want this to be a "bucket-list" because for me, this brings up images of dignified adults doing hugely irresponsible things before they die just to check something off of a list, and I think that attitude has the power to screw up priorities and get in the way of your ability to appreciate the life that is going on around you. But at the same time, there is a certain level of "carpe-diem," "live fully into the life around you" spirit to it as well, so I have to appreciate that aspect of it...regardless, this summer, I want to:
- Get into a solid routine of quite time and Bible study (like 5 days a week as a conservative goal)
- Be able to run a 5k (and enjoy it!)
-Find a laundry routine that keeps my hamper out of an overflowing state
-Take guitar lessons (I'm so excited about this, its actually all lined up and everything, I can't wait to learn more about one of my instruments and have someone teaching me instead of learning myself)
- Make some really good memories with the group of friends I've been blessed with this year
...and that about sums up my list. I'm really excited to see what this summer has in store; I'm gonna work a little, do a little college shopping, have my wisdom teeth removed, volunteer some, and see what all I can learn in my last 2 months or so at home. Here we go!
