Slacking

So, sorry it's taken me so long to write a new blog post. This summer, I honestly haven't been up to much.

I got a job babysitting the most adorable 2 1/2-year-old twins for a month early in the summer, but sadly, it was only for a month. It was really nice to have money, but the dad's job was ending after that month and he was going to be watching the girls.

Otherwise, all I've been doing is hanging with friends, hitting the bars every once in awhile, and sitting in my room being terribly bored. I'm really enjoying being 21 and dancing and such. :) It's been a lot of fun.

I've been sort of angry and bored that I don't have a job though. This is the first summer since probably my freshman or sophomore year in high school I haven't had a summer job. I babysat for a few summers when I was in high school, and when I was in college, I worked at Drs. Goodman & Partridge. But...I just hate being home doing nothing with my days. I get bored really easily when I'm not doing anything, and especially not having the money stinks.

I went up to Flag for a total of almost two weeks during the summer to find a job during the school year, but it's not looking the best. I'm really hoping for something when I head up there in 2 weeks.

I've been a bit down in the dumps about something recently, but I'm really trying to push past it. As dumb as it sounds, the show "How I Met Your Mother" has brought my spirits up a bit. You know why? Because it teaches life lessons, sort of like "Grey's Anatomy" at the beginning and end. Funnily enough, sometimes "HIMYM" is relevant to my life (just like "GA" has been a couple of times), and I just keep trying to stay positive and everything will work out in the end. I'm not sure how some things will exactly pan out when school (and Quidditch) starts in a few weeks, but I'm hoping I'll be strong enough to prove that I'm okay and I'm better off.
