My summer to-do list..

..consists of several things.

!) The internship that I find out about soon (I REALLY want this!) - or a different full-time job.
!) I have 15 books on my reading list and another 5 that I want to buy after the 10!
!) Spend more time outside.
!) Cherish my time with my family.
!) Find out what I want to do after I graduate.
!) Look at grad schools and portfolio schools.
!) Spend at least 20 minutes every day drawing. (I'm getting so much better).
!) Sleep! :)
!) Plan a couple of mini-road trips with my best friends.


I realized something today, which is something that I have probably heard a million times. Let it go. When there is nothing you can do about a particular circumstance you need to let it go. I'm really good at helping others come to that realization, but I have a hard time keeping it in my heart. I'm glad I have wonderful friends who remind me about this. I really need to let the future fall into place.

All I know is that I am really excited about the semester coming to an end! I really need a break!

Why Tuesdays?

I just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie and can I go ahead and say that was one of the best short stories I have read. In a long time.

If there is anyone that I really wished I would have met is this guy; Morrie seemed to be a guy so full of love and joy it's amazing.

This book pulled me into the study that most of it took place. I felt that while I was reading it I was actually taking part in the events that were going on and the conversations that were voiced.

I am going to go back through the book and pull quotes that I really liked. Morrie was a genious. I wish there were more people like him in this world.

But then again, there are more people like him, but it's a matter of letting yourself be like him. He was real, he was natural. Why are we all so afraid of being who we are?

Just food for thought.
