1L year is done, undergrads have scattered, and all is well in the world.
Unfortunately, my life has become more complicated as I've attempted to find work and a place to life next year. Classes have begun and a new routine must be formed. Sometimes I really hate change.
Change makes it hard for me to focus.
So far, it seems I've begun to get some answers regarding work and I may have found a decent place to live (that doesn't have bugs EVERYWHERE inside).
Alas, I sit in Jittery Joe's on a Friday night. Some things never change. Motivation is fleeting and I think I got way to used to sleeping around 10 hours every night after finals ended.
Sometimes I marvel at how different life would have been had a not come back to Athens and taken an insurance job in ATL. I would be RICH (comparatively).
Student loans are no fun. I am learning the reality of what Dave Ramsey means when he says the debtor is slave to the lender. Taking out more loans for the summer makes me feel much more enslaved than I would prefer.
Some day I look forward to buying a discretionary item somewhere and not feeling guilty about how I'm paying interest on whatever money I spend. This is partially related to the fact I obsess about my finances & mostly because I'm just a cheapo with expensive taste (although wal-mart's great value brand is becoming my new best friend).
My visions of lounging around and catching up on my reading list are slowly fading away. The pessimistic view I find myself retreating into reminds me that I only have one more "summer" for the rest of my life.
However, I am spending the summer in one of my favorite places on earth - for that I am very grateful.
