Gone Living...

I'm done with school for now.

Time to head home.

Summer's here.

I made a to-do list earlier, a couple days ago. I make one occasionally. Just a way to write things down that need to be done and that I need to remember. I put it on an plain index card, so I can put it in my back pocket of my jeans and look at it when I need to.

I made a to-do list for this summer. There are just some things I want to do and try.

Thought I'll share it with you.

Summer's To Do -

1. Know the "autshop" on my car
2. Learn how to barbeque
3. Play golf everyday then swim
4. Take my family to the movies
5. Travel to the beach
6. Get in shape, tone my muscles
7. Play a board/video game with my brothers every night
8. Mow the lawn/yardwork
9. Get a new tan ;)
10. Read books/watch TV a lot
11. Play catch with the brothers
12. Learn sign language fluently again
13. Transfer all home videos to DVD
14. Videotape a lot
15. Have fun

I'll be around here and there. Staying in touch. Let you know if I completed anything or not. Three months of summer ... it's gonna be good.

'Til then ... I'm gone living.

Not Yet

Well, it's that time again.

School's almost over. I'm staring down the barrel of it now. Only nine days left before I finish everything school-wise for another year and get to head home again.

It's usually about this time of the year anyhow where I'll start thinking about how I've done over the past school year. Things like - Did I do my best? Did I get enough sleep? (which is always a no. *grins*) What did I accomplish? What did I learn? Am I ready for next year?

After thinking and remembering a bit, this is what I find.

I believe I did do my best. It's all I can do. Whether my grades show it or not, I know I worked hard, really hard. I got three more finals to go, so can't quit just yet. I'm still gonna study hard for those exams and get through it all. Whatever happens happens.

Oh, I never get enough sleep during the school year. One day I think I'm all caught up, only to lose it the next by getting about four hours of sleep. Weekends are just the time for me to catch up a little bit, but it's still not enough sometimes. Sooner or later though, I'll get back some of that sleep.

I completed another school year. That's a good enough accomplishment for me. Plus I turned 20. :)

I probably learned a lot school-wise. I'm thinking though that by the time I finish my finals, I won't remember much about the textbook facts I had to learn. They seem to have a way to disappear during the summer. But I also did learn to have a little more fun. What's life without a few laughs?

I don't want to think about next school year just yet. I better finish this year off first. Then I want to enjoy summer for a while. Don't have much plans for it except to travel a bit, watch TV, read some books, play some golf and hang out with my family. It should be fun. I'm really pretty sure about that.

So, nine days of school left for me. Three finals to study for. One dorm room to pack up.

Then it's home for me. My best car will get me there.

Summer's almost here.

But not yet.
