summers, moving, and goals (aka the smorgasbord blog post)

Hi friends! Just wanted to say hello and say that I still plan on blogging even though I took an unofficial break for a bit. This past month was busy with end-of-the-semester activities like studying for finals and writing papers and then a move. I had to move out of my dorm about a week and a half ago, so I packed up all of my belongings into my car. I am staying around my college town this summer where I will be working, but I couldn't move into my new place immediately. As a result, I was a bit of gypsy, moving around with my belongings in my car until my house was available. I stayed with my roommate's family for a few days before going back home to visit my family briefly. This week, however, I drove back and have been settling in to my lovely place where I am living for the summer with a friend. 


I am feeling cautiously optimistic about this summer. I tend to actually not like summers a great deal, as I have often had jobs that I don't love and tend to get bored. Last summer was especially not great, other than the couple of weeks that I spent in Italy, so I decided it was time for a change and planned to stay in my college town. I have a number of friends who will be around, at least for portions of the summer, so I don't think I will get too lonely. Additionally, I have a lot of little goals for myself that will hopefully keep my busy. I want to work out more than I did during the school year and cook lots of healthy food. I want to read books and write for fun. I would also definitely like to do more with this blog, focusing on consistency and more variety. I also hope to have some other little adventures, even though I don't have a big trip planned like last year. 


What are some of your summer plans or goals?
