My summer is usually quite planned out by now. I used to have all my plans in order for every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the entire summer down packed by now. But this summer I have very few people to plan with. Most of my close girlfriends are simply not around or available. My friends are everywhere but home! One is in South Africa, one in Oklahoma, and one is quite occupied with family happenings and a relationship. Yes, each of them will be available at some point or another... but very small windows of opportunity.
This summer has become one of College prep, reading and last minute plans! I used to not enjoy last minute plans because I felt as if I were always imposing on someone or like I was simply unprepared. However, I currently find last minute plans very agreeable! I am planning a coffee date with a friend for tomorrow afternoon as I am this writing now (at midnight).
In all this calmness I find a need for noise and chaos. I thrive with people around in the middle of absolute chaos. So, it only makes sense that last minute plans are working out well for me right now.
I simply cannot wait until fall comes and I am busy again. College classes, hanging out around HPA rehearsal days :D , and trying to help my mom take care of the house while my dad is on his 2nd tour since 9/11. A busy life seems to me like a more useful life.
People keep on asking me :what I am doing with my summer:.. I fail at having a ready response. After thinking about it... I think I am actually going to start working through the reading list my pastor recommended for me back in September.
Well, I am rambling now. Perhaps next time I should wait until I actually have something of sorts to write about... Hm, what a concept!
I am off, can't wait to see what last minute thrills this weekend will have in store for me!
With Love,
Jackie
