Sophomore Year, Done and Over

SUMMER!

So I'm finally out of school and ready to hit the beaches, play some ball, enjoy the summer breezes, and kick back without a care in the world.

False.

Of course, there will be time to relax, but I have some personal goals to attend to first. I'll keep this brief for now since I want to sleep...

• Clean up the house. My home is literally a garbage dump without me cleaning here and there. That's not to say no one does anything, my mom usually tends to the washing and the vacuuming. But I have to say, both my dad and little brother pretty much left everything else covered with dust, tossed aside, etc.
• Read, read, read. I have not sat down and properly read anything meaningful in quite a long time. Time to hit the libraries, Barnes & Nobles, and Borders'...s?
• Since I had no money to fly to Houston, Texas to fence at Summer National's, not to mention 9 days hotel expenses, food, transportation, plus at least another $120 to compete at the events, and miscellaneous charges... I think I'll just stick with old-fashioned training, maybe coach my brother a bit, and wait until next summer if I choose to attend qualifiers again.
• More solo piano practice.
• More writing practice.
• Get a job, man.
• See people, man.

The last four are completely optional and are up to my moods, I guess. All would be great if I can accomplish them, but I retain every right to change the above list.

Good night.
