Summer

It's finally here, no not summer in general, if i celebrated every time summer came around I'd think myself a lunatic.  The entirely too hot days, followed by the long hours of yard work still haunt my dreams at night.  But my final summer, before college, and the "real" world is finally here.  I hope it's exciting, its been built up for years now, and my parents keep saying it'll be one of the best ones of my life.  Personally, i don't know how it's any different than the other ones, except for the fact that its the last one.  But that shouldn't make it too special, its not really a final break as much as a transition into adult life.  I'll be working almost every day, paying for my own meals, getting ready to live on my own, taking out student loans, and in general learning the big secret to becoming an adult (which better be a good one).  So, as much as i will try to make the most of this so called final "break", i will have to prepare myself for life on my own in the process, and that doesn't leave too much room for dilly dally.  But enough of this cynicism, i am going to do my best to hang out with friends as much as possible, starting with the fabled senior week (which also better bee good).  and of course, my natural instincts will help me get out of most of the yard work required of me.  In the end, i have run out of time to write the rest of this post, just like i will run out of time to do everything i ever wanted to this summer.  That sounds a lot sadder than i meant for it to, but whatever, GOODBYE.

My Inability to Finish Books

Upon receiving the Pecha Kucha assignment, i had come to the sudden realization that i have only finished reading one book this year.  That book was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  But, i have read the majority of lot's of books, these include Game of Thrones, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and all of the required books for World Lit. class.  I'm still interested in finishing them, but not enough to continue reading them.  Maybe it's because i already know the endings of most of the stories.  I've watched all of the Game of Thrones series, and we have already gone over each book we've read in class in complete detail.  I'm looking for something with a new and unique story.  Which is why if i were to ever start reading again, i would continue the Hitchhiker's series, because it is the most unique series I've ever been invested in.  But the library fines became too high for me to keep it, and i decided to trade back in "Restaurant".  The real sad part is, now that the book is out of my reach, i want to read it all the more.  But my sheer laziness has never met a challenger it can't overcome, and the fate of reading will most likely suffer the same fate as writing, and putting effort into my dreams.  Perhaps over the summer i will regain the willpower to start reading again, but most likely not.  These book things were a nice idea, but sadly my attention span is more interested in something requiring a little less effort.  Of course i am kidding, my attention span can last through thirty hours of television.
