A good mix
Today was just a good day all around because I got a good mix of things done. Last night I finished unpacking the books that were downstairs and kind of reorganized the shelves in my room (I now have a section specifically for plays and drama books...I know: I'm a nerd.) I went for a run just after I got up, which got me awake and ready for some other stuff. Finished off another round of thank you notes to those people whose cards and gifts came this past week. I got my transcript request set for Villanova, and finally did the rebate for the cell phone. Tonight I went for a drive with my father, got Rita's Water Ice, and talked for a bit.
Now, this probably sounds like 5 minutes of work to most, but with what my work ethic has become in the last few weeks of summer, this was a major day of accomplishment. Aside from the running, which I've been doing pretty regularly, I've been a lazy boor these last couple of weeks. With no job, and nothing really to accomplish, my days have passed with friends, hanging out, "Law and Order" reruns, writing some stuff, "West Wing" reruns, jogging, biking, and hanging out with the parents. It's been pretty boring. Excruciatingly boring.
Still, it beats summer school, writing papers, or a job, I guess. Except for the influx of money, of course...I've decided to move into the place in Philly (confirmed, as of a few days ago) in mid-June, which should be at the point where I'll be at my most bored and ready to do the most drastic thing possible to affect the monotony, which is the move itself.
One thing I still need to do before I leave is plan and execute a graduation party here. I want it to be a pretty big event, and want to get as many people as I can down from the greater La Salle area. I'm looking at some weekend in June at this point - any suggestions?
I'm taking the train up to Philly tomorrow for the evening, for a Phillies game with James, my friend and former MATLC supervisor. The train gets into the city around 4pm, and I'll wander for a couple of hours. After the game, I'll crash at La Salle in the townhouses for a night, and head back on Saturday. And I'll be back home just in time for the monotony to hit all over again...
It'll get better, I keep promising myself.
