Summer Updates: Part I

Since it has only been about two weeks since returning home from Binghamton, I can't say anything out of the ordinary occurred. Each day starts with a wake-up call between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. from my trusty alarm clock and ends with late nights staring into my laptop's monitor, either downloading media, watching media, playing games, or whimsically browsing the web.

To top it off, each day usually contains me eating a simple egg-lettuce-ham-tomato sandwich, a bowl of cereal, or scrambled eggs with unidentifiable seasonings with orange juice as brunch, followed by leaving iTunes open and blasting (since my Bose SoundDock seems to be malfunctioning), and then going off to do mundane tasks.

A lot of people I usually hang out with during the summer seem to be especially busy this time around. Odd jobs, internships, summer classes, studying abroad, and so forth tend to be the common stories.

And it's probably because I'm not yet working odd jobs, going through internships, attending summer classes, or studying abroad that I feel somewhat unproductive. The grades I obtained this past semester surely reflected some productivity; getting an A, A-, and A- in three classes aren't bad at all. Then again, getting a C and D in two other classes completely dragged the GPA down. As of now, my cumulative still borderlines a measly 3.00.

Thus, instead of going out of my way to do too much, I decided to stay home... or somewhere quiet in general, to read and keep my mind fresh. Eating well, exercising on a daily basis, reading, playing the piano, occasionally fencing, and writing now and then should keep me in shape for next semester. But as always, the catch is to see how long I can keep this up. Video game consoles lying everywhere, PC games dotted everywhere on my desktop, plus an external hard drive with 430 GB's worth of anime and 320 GB's worth of movies can become distracting.

When the August heat strikes down, I'll be looking forward to a couple of weeks in Rome, Venice, and Florence. Vita italiana.
