colour me bad



Though it seemed to have taken years for this summer to go by, in retrospect, it seems to have slipped right out of my little fingers. I've finished up 6 more credits, gone to hawaii for a week, changed jobs, and school starts up again in 2 1/2 weeks? wait, that seems impossible, but it's true!
Perhaps this makes me a bit of a geek, but so be it: now that my history class is over, i miss it. I don't miss the super long papers, but i miss my teacher, and all the stuff i was learning. I am also very excited to have classes start again. I am so ready for it! I'm not even nervous about swinging the 5 classes and 25 hours of work a week, i know i will rock it...In fact, after seeing a target ad for school supplies , i became so excited thinking about it, i smacked the table and called my dad to tell him how i couldn't wait for class to start. He just laughed...i bet he never thought he'd live to hear that! by the way, when i told my mom i had bought all my school supplies, she asked if i got my "64 piece box of crayons yet...the kind with the sharpener on the back? you got that right?"
I have officially left grooveground too, my last day was yesterday which felt strange. Not because i was leaving, as i've had 3 months to get used to the idea. But it just felt so arbitrary to be leaving. I know i'll be back to get coffee, just on the other side of the counter. However, when i got up this morning, i found myself not wanting to go there. Not so much because i didnt have to, but because i feel like i need some space. I feel kinda like when you break up with someone, you really don't want to bump into them on the street for at least a few weeks. Its a weird feeling to have about a job really... Though something nice, is how less stressful my life is. However, i didn't even realize i had this stress at the time. I think i just felt like i had to be tethered to the shop in a certain way. Like i had to keep my phone on in case something happened etc... I think it's just the very small amount of responsibility i have at the bakery is a bit of a shock. a good shock. Its nice to be told what to do and leave.
I know that this time now, where i have lots of free time will all come to a screaching hault soon enough, so i am going down the shore as much as possible over the next few weeks, and not feeling guilty about just hanging around, occaissionally working.
Also, i am super committing myself to my yoga practice. I have been taking the harder classes and i love it! it feels so good, in my muscles, bones, everything just feels so good. I bought myself a new yoga mat as a present for being so commited to it. It will be an important key to keeping myself from getting stressed over the fall semester.
