Unexpected Happiness

I remember always hearing stories about recent graduates who waste away their summer lying in bed battling those post-high school, post-crazy goal oriented life, and pre-college blues feeling depressed. I always stuck my nose up (hee hee) at these stories thinking hmph! I will never be like that!!! Well. Here we are. Those post-high school summer days. And I must admit, I have been there... lying in bed waking up at 10am and going back to sleep at 1pm, doing absolutely nothing even though I should be practicing for my band audition or at least going out with friends.

Anyways, these days are over. This afternoon, I finally faxed my med forms over to the University of Georgia Health Center, worked out at the gym with Hope, and cleaned the kitchen and living room. So much for being a summer slob!

I think being productive on your own will is a happiness in itself. Sure, we had to be productive during school finishing projects and slaving over endless webassigns due in the next 10 minutes. But that was forced. It's much better to just do something, knowing that even though you don't HAVE to (I didn't have to clean the kitchen), you still want to.

Maybe senioritis is fixable after all. =)
