I went to visit Drew in Indiana this weekend. It was a very short visit, and I had to leave earlier than I had planned, because Drew's poor dad was having trouble with kidney stones, even after they had tried to break them up with surgery. He was in extreme pain, and that sucks. I remember how unhappy I was with just poison ivy, and that doesn't even hurt. But I enjoy spending time with Drew so I'm glad that I got to do some of that: bowling, air hockey, watching movies, eating. He is a very good boy.
Two weeks from today I go back to school, which makes me realize how much I have left to do before then. I've kept a list this summer of things to accomplish.. the thing that has been on there for THREE MONTHS now is to redesign, already. The design is basically done, but it's just all the little touches that I am procrastinating about.
I also wanted to write 10 poems this summer, and I have written one crappy one, and half a good one, and I have an idea for a good one, and an image for what'll probably be a crappy one.. so that might turn out to be about 3 or 3.5.
I have wanted to write Our Lady Peace a letter to tell them about how much I appreciate their music, ever since I dreamed in June that they broke up.
I wanted to buy or sew new curtains for my room since I have had this set for probably ten years. I also wanted to sew Drew some pajama pants, but I don't really know his size, nor can I sew extremely well. So he'd probably end up with one shabby pair of PJ bottoms.
I also have just normal things to do, like get a haircut, buy a few new pairs of pants (I actually SPLIT a pair of pants while on vacation -- I've gained 5 lbs in three weeks -- I'm going back to working out tomorrow -- going to try out this), get a dermatology appointment with someone in Memphis, things like that.
There were also the ideas I had for myself in the beginning of May, right after I finished my last final. Let's see how I did. Italics means accomplished, stricken out means not.
"I have goals for this summer (which will have to commence AFTER I unwind for a couple days): work out like nobody's business [ish], earn money and save it [pretty well], buy some new underwear [one new pair, so far], learn some Portuguese, and see Drew as many times as I can [three]."
Four out of five ain't bad. (Bonus points for earning over a hundred dollars profit on the Amazon books sold endeavor.)
