In the next two weeks, I have 4 papers and one take-home final ahead of me. Then my birthday, Berlin, graduation, and barbecues up the wazoo.
Naturally, I'm procrastinating the work and just dreaming about what life will be like, in under a month.
I've got some ideas.
Post-graduate Priorities (in no particular order):
- Hike. As in, at least a couple times a month in the summer, I want to do a real hike. Grab some friends, a tent, pack supplies, and do two day hikes in Vermont, NH, and Maine.
- Read. I'm 100 pages into Game of Thrones. One of five. I've also got a whole list of Russian novels to delve into, after I finish my Russian ideology and novel course. We didn't cover any Tolstoy, so I've got plenty of material.
- Coffee and tea. Outside. Barefoot. Sweaters. Sitting on the dock in Michigan. Sitting on the grass at my grandma's. Cafes in Boston. Anywhere, really.
- Cook outs. Complete with burgers, beer, and friends.
- Jam. Make so much music with people I like. Continue the morphological sillies project with Ellen (check it out on my youtube page)
- Spend time with family. Crafting with my sister. Chilling with my brother-in-law. Driving around and being crazy with my little bro. Walking the dogs with my mom. Getting coffee with my dad. Cooking for my grandmother and bringing her new wines to try. Listening to my other grandmother's stories. I actually am even starting to like my cousins more.
- Tan. I love my summer skin.
- Beach trips. With girlfriends, frisbies, magazines. Fried food, corona.
- Nap. I love sleeping outside.
- Star watch. Northern Michigan, on the dock, in my sleeping bag. It's a symphony of shooting stars and Northern lights. All to myself.
- Sail. This summer, I want to really learn how to maneuver the sunfish on my own.
- Canoe. I'm the only one who really takes my grandfather's wooden canoe out on the lake. I can't wait for early morning and sunset canoe trips around the bay.
- Guitar and piano. I'm going to spend this summer learning only popular music on these instruments. Maybe I'll be able to play and sing a couple new piano tunes by the fall. Ben folds, Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor---
- Quiet. Have time for writing, thinking, and praying. A lot has happened this year, this semester, this month. I feel like I should write a book.
