brokenrecordSo I really didn't mean to not update for a month. I've totally been around loads, I've been checking my flist everyday, I just... haven't been updating. I think I fail at updating over breaks because when I'm in school, I'm always so conscious of what day it is and I have so much stuff going on that I'll be like "Well I need to leave for class in 30 minutes, so I need to post now if I'm going to at all today," but when I'm on break, the days just kind of flow together and all of a sudden it's been 4 weeks and I haven't posted at all. I just keep going "Oh I'll do it later" and then... it's a lot later than I intended.
Anyways, nothing exciting has been going on in my life. I've been hanging out with friends some and my family and pretty much just enjoying having time off. Last I posted, I was still looking for somewhere to volunteer at, and I've pretty much given up on that. Well, what happened was that at that point I was like "Ugh I don't want to deal with this right now, I'll just wait until my mom bugs me about it" because she had been bugging me about it like every other day, so I figured it wouldn't be long. Except she didn't mention it at all to me for 4 weeks. Which is crazy, since last time I talked to her, I was basically like "It wouldn't be the end of the world if I don't do something this summer" and she was like "Yes it would!" But I think I conveyed to her how stressed out about it I was, and she kind of backed off. Anyways, a few days ago she was like "Ok, you're going to be my personal assistant for the rest of the summer so you have something to do," which means I'm basically just helping her with whatever she needs around the house. Today I took some stuff to Goodwill for her and Sunday I helped her make curtains for my dad's office. So I guess I don't have to do anything else? I don't know. I'm hoping not. The thing is, a large part of me is like "wtf you're being an idiot, go do something so you have something to put on resumes/applications/etc." But then the rest of me is like "You just had the most stressful semester of your life, and next semester will probably be worse, and next semester you're totally going to have to do something, and the year after that you'll have graduated and be out in the real world, so this is probably the last chance at relaxation you'll have for a long time." I feel like I might regret this in a year, but right now I really need this.
In June, I watched 110 episodes of television, 13 movies, and 0 books. I'm to 51 movies, which means I'm on track for 100 for the whole year, which is good. I was getting behind on that. I'm at like 976 episodes of TV. I kind of really wanted to get to 1000 by the end of June, but there just isn't enough summer TV. Seriously, all I'm watching is True Blood and So You Think You Can Dance, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be watching SYTYCD if there was anything else on. Last week I watched all of Being Erica and Leverage, both of which I really enjoyed (and yay for Leverage coming back in just a few weeks, so there will finally be another show on to watch).
Anyways, I will try not to fail so hard at updating, and maybe I'll have something actually interesting to say next time.
