This summer is not a vacation from school but it is a vacation from studio. I'm taking one class for my Sustainable Environments minor called Energy for Sustainable Society's. It is getting more interesting as the class goes on. We just recently talked about oil, natural gas, and coal, where they come from and what they're uses are. We also recently covered pollution, what causes it and ways to minimize it. While I had my doubts at the beginning when we were covering basic physics, I think it will turn out to be a worthwhile class.
Otherwise my summer has been pretty dull. With all my friends gone home, no studio to fill all my waking hours, and my boyfriend starting a new job, I've been bored and lonely. I've been trying to work on a project for my parents, a new kitchen and deck, but getting myself motivated has been difficult. Getting myself motivated about anything has been difficult, even things that I really enjoy. The only thing I can follow through with is cleaning my apartment. I think that unless I feel that it needs to get done, I'm procrastinating. I'm worried that I've forgotten how to enjoy things.
The summer has gone by very quickly and there's not much time left before I go home to Seattle, but I'm determined to enjoy the rest of it. One day at a time.
