I remember I had a summer agenda for summer 2007, posted sometime in May last year. It is as follows (No laughing allowed):
"Agenda for summer:
1. lose 10 pounds
2. watch the sunrise/sunset at the beach
3. learn to cook
4. shop less
5. have a sleepover with the crew
6. meet someone famous in Taiwan
7. dress up and enjoy more expensive dinners in the city
8. dance in the rain
9. learn to swim
10. see Rain at MSG
11. stop being lazy
12. run cross country
To be continued...."
Looking at it now, I don't think I completed any of those tasks except for meeting someone famous in Taiwan. This year, I didn't officially write up a to-do list, but in May, it was probably the following (in no particular order):
1. teach myself comp sci (didn't happen)
2. figure out some sort of major/concentration direction (sorta happened)
3. get toned, especially in the abdomen area (kinda sorta happened)
4. relax and spend time with people (happened)
I'd say this list is a bit less idealistic and more realistic than last years. Dancing in the rain? Watching the sunrise/sunset at the beach? Come on, what was I thinking?
This year, it's been a strange, fruitful, and tiring summer. Strange in that I still don't believe some things are happening. Fruitful in that I've learned more than I thought from my internship. Tiring in that I've spent lots of time traveling, be it to work or to the city. Nonetheless, I've been having fun. Perhaps school in 6 weeks or so will be a welcomed change. But, with school comes a rearrangement of priorities. We'll see.
