Summer Beneath an Orange Sky

All right. It is almost mid July meaning that summer is in full swing.

This summer will be and has been different than any of my summers in the past. First off, I am l am now twenty years old entering my second decade of living. No longer a teenager but not yet an adult. I feel as if I am in between the in between stage in my life; if that makes any sense at all.

Second, I know now that I have officially moved out of my house. Since I am taking both summer school sessions here in Davis, I will be spending all of my summer away from home. It is different from moving out for freshman year because I knew I had to move all of my belonginsg back to Livermore for the summer. Knowing that I will never have to move my stuff back home has caused me to realize that wow I will never be living back at home in Livermore at least if my future academic and career plan follows through correctly I will not have to move back.

As for summer school......I have had my ups and downs with it. Though I am only taking one class this session, I find it hard to remain focused. Organic chemistry is killing me with every mechanism it throws at me. It was hard enough as it was during the school year to find the desire to study but the summer atmosphere has just turned me into one lazy mess. Oh well....life goes on. I know it will only get harder so I'm just enjoying it to the best of my ability. One thing that helps is knowing that I have good friends there with me in my classes.

That brings me to another aspect of my summer that I find different. Unlike freshman year, I feel that I have successfully proven myself capable to meeting more friends. I feel that I am in a good place right now amongst my friends from both back home and in Davis. It is weird, I feel that it is not until I spend substantial time away from a friend that I really learn to appreciate them as a person. This has held true for both of my groups of friends from Davis and Livermore. For the most part, as humans we rely on social interaction to affect our development; at least I do.

Bwahhh......I have spent too much time on this post right now and I am feeling the affects of it. It is 83 degrees in my apartment right now and I am melting here at 9:30 on a saturday night with my warm laptop on my lap.

Okay I am going to finish this up.

Anywho.......
