Summer is Ending

You would think that I would have posted more often during the summer months seeing how I didn’t have a busy school schedule and overwhelming amounts of homework, but because I didn’t have anything to push me to stay busy I slacked off instead.  Now I am regretting not staying motivated through the summer months.  I didn’t do half the reading or writing I wanted to do and the only thing I got accomplished was moving to a new apartment.  Talk about laziness.  Sure it’s great to take some time for yourself and relax, but when you sit in front of the t.v. for too many hours, staring into the screen knowing you should be doing something productive and just feel too lazy to do it, you just know your not going to have a great feeling about yourself when the summer comes to an end.  And that is how I am feeling today.

Sure I still have a couple of weeks before school starts, but I am nowhere near where I was hoping I would be on my summer to do list.  I wanted to read at least four books, but only have read two since classes ended in mid-July and I wanted to get  a stronger draft written of one of my stories I have been working on for the last year, but did I do it, no.  Instead I kept saying I would work on it later in the day or week and now I am looking at two weeks of regret ahead of me.

Not that I wasted the whole summer, like I said earlier, my wife and I moved to a bigger and better apartment and I have spent great quality time with her as well, so not all is lost, but for personal growth and enlightenment I may have missed the boat.

So am I disappointed that the summer is almost over, no.  I am actually looking forward to starting classes again.  I love getting my mind all jam-packed with knowledge and if I could continue to go after I graduate this year I would, but that is a year off and who knows what will be happening then.

I better get busy if I want to finish the book I’m reading now and work on my story.  Enjoy the end of your summer and make sure you keep the dream alive.
