Summer Vacation

It is now officially my summer vacation, and boy is it sweet. I realized yesterday how nice it is going to be to not have any homework for a long time, and just be able to do what I want instead of what I have to do. My schedule feels wide open, even though I'm going to be working. That is the only thing I have to do. And my movie. I can do lots of reading and writing and painting and laying around and watching movies and going to movies and it will be great because I can do most of it whenever the mood strikes me. Maybe I'll even do some cooking, which is a skill I've been honing from time to time since I moved.

I was going to go to the beach today, but "June Gloom" has descended upon LJ, and it is warm and cloudy at the moment. There is always the possibility it will clear up, but who knows when that will be. I also told a friend I would take her to the airport today, which is the least I can do since someone did it for me so recently. I may see a movie tonight or tomorrow. Or I might wait until next week.

I have to change my appointment with the pro at the club today, since my work schedule is a series of lazy mornings instead of hyperactive nights or butt-crack early cranky mornings. They definitely know me over there. I finished a novel this morning, and today I'm going to pick out a new one. Pearl Buck's The Good Earth perhaps, or Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. I also have a book written by an Eastern Indian woman, and it sounds intriguing. I can't recall at the moment what her name is or the title of the book. Anyway, I have a stash of books I bought last summer, and now I finally have some time to read them. Super.
