Semblance of Liberty

Well folks... this is it.

School is done. And while summer is here and we are all celebrating, eagerly anticipating the parties, BBQs, and long cottage weekends to come, I think some may be jumping the gun a little on feeling free and clear. Just because exam are done, doesn't mean it's Party Time for everyone...

I, for one, have some SERIOUS work to do. I have my regular job at the burger joint, plus babysitting and doing barn chores on the side. Fingers crossed that it will bring in enough dough for the summer. Crunching the numbers looks promising, and I'm starting on a Summer Vision Board, something to help me see how my money is growing. (Pictures to be posted soon.)

Aside from that, I have some serious decluttering to do! My room's a disaster (and half of it needs to be boxed up for the Big Move anyway), and my computer needs to be dejunkified. I plan to do it all this summer, and I plan to do it well.

As well, in order to keep my studying skills up this summer, I plan to attend chuch regularly, and be diligent about keeping a notebook of journals and study notes. With all this, plus keeping up with blogging and Facebook, I don't know HOW I'm going to find time for the other thing I plan to accomplish this summer...

summer romance [n. suhm-er roh-mans]

-noun

1. A brief, lust-filled romantic venture occuring during the summer months between school terms, often between a very attractive young couple

Yes, you heard right. I plan to be romanced. And I don't want anything too froo-froo or gooshy. I also don't want sex... just fun! Someone to play beach volleyball with and have picnics in the park. Walking around at Kempenfest in August, and helping me pack, then wishing me well, when I leave in the fall. No strings, no attachments, no committment. And, I mean, maybe it won't happen (which is absolutely not a big deal,since I trust that the universe is taking care of things in its own good order), but it would definitely be nice. :D

I'm off to go make some dinner before I split for babysitting tonight, but as one final note, I'd like to say that I'M GRADUATING IN 4 DAYS! And I'm friggin' excited for Grad. It happens to occur on the exact same date that my elementary school grad happened on... June 29th. Which, I feel, is very lucky!

But, until then, (and you will most likely hear from me again then), so long, farewell, auf weidersehn... and all that jazz.

Enjoy the start of your summer kids!
