I am weird.

So, today was my official first day of not working. I slept in for the first time in at least three weeks - til 10:00 a.m. Now, you'd think that most people would sit around and watch tv all day - essentially be as lazy as possible.

Not I. I've always hated the idea of coming home and watching tv until I go to sleep. This is a problem with American culture, and I refuse to do it! (Besides, if I want to watch something worthwhile I can probably find it on the internet)

After I woke up and proceeded to make a list of all the things I have to accomplish this week, meticulously planning my day to accomplish a moderate amount of things on my list - and proceed to scratch them off because that just makes me feel good. It is things like this that make me an old man. 

My day's excitement involved the following:

• Followed up on a job lead, and scheduling an interview for tomorrow (one of two on the Google calendar for 8/12)
• Checked my credit report (the only free website)
• Read two of the three books I am currently occupied with (finished one, thank you)
• Ran 3+ miles at a park (a LOT easier after swimming several times in the last few weeks)
• Went to the bank
• Updated my budget

Ah, life after college...who am I kidding, I did this same stuff while I was in school (minus the reading...ironic?), except I had 32,000 of my closest friends within 5 miles of my house. Blah.

You see, what I've come to realize is that I am very boring if left to my own devices. The difference between now versus this time last year (aka senior year) is that I need exciting people in my life to balance me out.

There is no one exciting here. There is nothing exciting to talk about. I sat at dinner and had nothing to say - which is the case every night, but especially tonight.

On that note, I'm off to read some more.
