Call me crazy, but I am actually looking forward to the fall semester. I know the three classes I have signed up for will be very hectic, but I am ready for the challenge. Don't get me wrong! I have enjoyed this time off immensely! I have accomplished several things on my list . . . not everything, but hey, I'm not Wonder Woman--although I do have a purple cape.
I have also engaged in a lot of rest and relaxation, and I don't feel guilty about that at all! When I am busy beyond belief in the coming months, I can look back on July and most of August and say, "ahhh, that was fun."
On a different note: I am trying to decide if I want to do National Novel Writing Month this November. I can't even imagine having the time because of all the reading/writing I will be doing for school. Grad school is overloaded with work, and the instructors are relentless with their high expectations. I mean really. I can only do so much in a day, even with my purple superhero cape. Will I have time to write 50,000 words in 30 days just for fun? I don't know. I do know that I get more done when I have no time to do it, so it just might be achievable. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
I may or may not go to Cairo, Egypt in a week or so. I am waiting for my friend to get expenses in order and time off arranged. I think this would be an awesome trip, and I will definitely have something to blog about then. Not a whole lot of blog-worthy activities going on right now. The most exciting thing going on is my virtual life on Farm Town (facebook). It has become more fun now that Doreen and Jessica are hooked and building their farms and we can harvest each other's crops. This game is so crazy addicting, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I love it! My farm is awesome!
You never know when opportunities to unleash creativity are going to tap you on the shoulder and tell you to paint, plant, write, sing! Okay, maybe not sing. That would be a creative disaster in my case. But what I'm saying is that I'll take a creative moment anywhere I can find it, and Farm Town just happens to be my creative outlet of the moment. It's all good.
When school starts, I guess I will have to cut back on my Farm Town fun. It will be difficult and so sad, but...hold on a minute! Uh, hellooo? It's a fake farm. What am I thinking? I guess I shouldn't be admitting that I play this game, but there it is - and I don't spend all my time playing fake farmer...really I don't! *big sigh* I also admitted to Doreen yesterday (when she texted me to find out if I was going to be on Farm Town any time soon) that I was knitting and watching Spongebob Squarepants. Yeah, I said it. I watch Spongebob! Doreen texted back and said that was why she liked me so much. She's crazy and different as well.
Okay, so now you see why I'm ready for school to start. I need to become a RWP (real world person) again--but not a complete RWP because no way am I that annoying in public! I hope. Am I?
SO . . . if I go to Egypt then it's Vegas after that and then school. Next week will be my last week of "I can do as little or as much as I want to." Better make it count.
