Summer So Far

I've had a very fun week. I've had some super sweet friends who've been willing to help me deal with a fear, friends who played video games with me until 4 in the morning, and friends who've been overall really cool dealing with me. Summer's turning out to be fun so far.

To Write or Not to Write

That's fairly stupid question, because the answer will always be "to write," unless you worked, then swam for an hour, then ran around chasing a frisbee for two and a half hours. Quite frankly, I'm tired. I really want to write, but I'm not feeling it. I'm inspired, but it's too much effort to move pen across paper. It's too much effort to even word vomit. It's kind of sad, because I really want to finish this story. I am almost done with it. But I've got no inspiration. I just want to sit at my computer and watch funny shows all night.

Running on something

I'm 90% positive I'm running off of some hidden reserve of energy. After getting back from three hours of roller blading, bounce housing, and climbing through a jungle gym (once in a speed run), I was still awake and active enough to do random dancing in my apartment. Then go get frozen yogurt. And I'm still running off of something. I'm going to crash so hard tomorrow, and I've got work tomorrow. I'll survive. I may be running off of the energy of wanting to do something. I want to swim, I want to play frisbee, I want to play volleyball. I want to do something active. I want to socialize. Yet I haven't, so I'm sitting here trying to find something productive to do and it's coming out in the oddest ways.

Exercise

I'm going back to my M-W-F posting schedule. Trying to remember post on Sunday is ridiculous. Partially because I don't want to have to remember I have to write something. I'd rather let my mind go blank.

For the past week, I've found myself looking forward to the times I can go out and exercise, whether it be swimming, playing frisbee, or volleyball. These things make up such a small portion of my day, yet I want to go out and do those things more than anything else right now. I promised myself to go swimming at least twice a week, maybe more, if I get the chance. Frisbee's always set on Friday and Sunday. Volleyball is whenever my volleyball friend can come to to campus to visit.

It's amazing how these things, which I usually detest, can make my week.

Ultimate Casual Frisbee- HARDCORE MODE

That's become my favorite phrase. "HARDCORE MODE." I end up using it a lot in my let's plays, and I've caught myself using it multiple times in real life, too. Oops.

Well, I played Ultimate Frisbee again today. We decided to have a night game, and it ended up raining. Apparently, that's not "horrible weather." And it really wasn't. It rained a bit, but nothing too bad. Except I ended up being near blind. Playing with water on my glasses seriously inhibited my ability to see any kind of light clearly, especially on something as tiny as a frisbee. I took my glasses off and made it HARDCORE MODE for me. Basically, I could only see what team someone was on when I got extremely close to them. That resulted in me running. A lot. Apparently, I do not have horrible cardio, which is a surprise to me. I just can't do running straight the entire time.

Also, I am intimidating, so says some of the guys. This one big Polynesian guy, after throwing the disk, said, "Would anyone believe me if I said she scared me?", referring to me. And my friend Jonathan kept telling me to stop defending him because I made him nervous. I am apparently a really good defender too. I asked one of the guys on the blue team if I was intimidating. He said, "No, not at all. When you're on the same team."

Good sign, good sign.

Because we were playing in the dark, we were using glow sticks. There was a pink team and a blue team. I am not ashamed to admit I kept thinking of Red vs Blue, the series by RoosterTeeth, but most of the "characters" were on wrong teams. The only one even remotely accurate would be that the Caboose-like kid was on the blue team.

Ultimate Frisbee

I've become the photographer for the club. It's fun! I like it. I'm also a substitute, whenever they don't have a lot of people. I can't wait for the summer!

Back Home...

But not for much longer. I've got to go back to school to get residency. However, I've got classes two days of the week, I'm working two days of the week, and I'm free for three. I think it'll be a pretty cool summer! I look forward to continuing everything. I feel in love with the city during the summer. I'll find ways to entertain myself.

It's kind of sad, to tell the truth. I won't be back here until the fall, mostly likely. Right after summer semester ends, I jump right into RA training. No time to go home. No time to say hi. I know this is a part of growing up, but it still makes me sad. Growing up is sad and painful sometimes.
