Summer vacations were fun back when I didn't have to worry about supporting myself. Now that I do, lazing around most of the week is driving me insane.
I don't understand why it's so hard for me to be motivated to engage in one of my hobbies (well besides running, as it's usually too hot to do that after 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.).
I should be keeping up with being involved in journalism. I should be reading my books, keeping up with new trends, etc. At least I still use Facebook and Twitter regularly.
Living on my own is great, don't get me wrong. Even though I live in a crowded room in a state where the only people I know are my roommates and my boyfriend, I have this new feeling of freedom that is one of the sweetest things I've ever tasted (besides Yoplait peach yogurt).
Now, it's only a matter of time. Hopefully, Sears will contact me very soon about orientation/training. Same goes for Babies R Us. In the mean time, I have to be patient, and try to make the most of each day where I have nothing scheduled (that means I need to lay off South Park reruns).

Am I hiding from the heat or just feeling lethargic?
Radio claims 80 degree weather today, so I'm guessing I'm lethargic :)
Shaun and I are doing pretty well by ourselves and with each other. We're working on overcoming feelings of dependency and claustrophobia.
These are two of the top causes of break ups. Someone feels either smothered or too heavily depended on, so they end the relationship rather than really talk about what's causing those feelings (this is the usual scenario).
Regardless of whether the couple lives together or not, this problem is bound to creep up at some point. So as an alternative to splitting up, talk over these feelings. It's a painful and tedious process, but it's also well worth it.

Pepper: my adopted (well, bought) chinchilla
Having been in Idaho for almost three weeks now, I still don't have much company while I spend the day watching TV and applying for jobs. So asked my roommates and Shaun if I could get a chinchilla to counter the lonely, boring days.
A couple days ago I adopted Pepper from Petco. He's incredibly soft, cute and fast. We've gotten to the point where I can open the cage and pet him or pick him up and hold him without a fuss.
I'm very thankful John, Arielle and Shaun agreed Pepper could spend time at either location. I am not lonely any more and Pepper is very entertaining all hours of the day.
This here is Pepper. I still need to find out how old he is. He's a treat in my life. I feel happier now and much less bored. :)
