Summer Again

So... it's summer again. Whoa. It's like... here. Now. Whoa.

Today was my last day of school, but everyone else gets out of school this coming Wednesday. Today was my last day because on Sunday I'm going down to UVA for Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) camp. My friend who I am going to this camp with has been to SEP for the last two or three years I think. I'm not completely sure, though. She has loved her past SEP sessions, so I'm hoping I'll love it as much as her.

I want school to keep going. To never end. I know that if it never ended I'd wish it ended, though. Sigh. Nothing is ever perfect. I'll live with it.

Pictures I found about Nerdfighteria

Since it's Easter, I guess I'll post some pictures I took earlier today.

My Life, I Guess.

So I haven't posted since January. Does this surprise anyone? It doesn't surprise me. Why do I forget about things so easily? I guess it might be good that I haven't been obsessing over writing meaningful blog posts. That lends more time to homework and sleep. Unfortunately it lends more time to Rage Comics and The Sims 3 as well.

Time

Lately I've been feeling as though time is not on my side. I find myself often wishing I could have time to do what I  want to do, not what my life wants me to do. Sometimes I don't want to do my homework, but my life says, "You can't play Sims or text your friends! Go do that social studies homework you should have done a few days ago." I know other people get along with their lives just fine with the same amount of time to live as me. They might even be more successful than me. My parents call me well rounded. I tackle cello, piano, soccer, field hockey, various summer camps, girl scouts, and school. I just don't want to have all that in my schedule. I'd be happy to drop soccer if it meant I would just have to go for a run every four days or so. But then I imagine my life without a few of the things I have in my life. What would my life be without girl scouts? I wouldn't get the silver trefoil or whatever the awards are. That might influence the college I get to go to. What if I didn't do soccer? I wouldn't be in very good shape. What would happen if I dropped summer camps? I would be bored many days in the summer, I wouldn't socialize, and I would not be ready for the routine of school in September. And if I didn't do cello and piano? I would not be musical, and that is something I value very much. Thinking about what my life would be like without my various obligations makes my life seem to be... not my life. My activities are what make my life my life. They shape me, my thoughts, my actions, everything about me.
