This summer for me has been the summer of total boredom. At the onset I thought that it would be really fun to not have a lot of obligations on my first college vacation, but I think I should have planned for a lot more. I learned that campus is not all that fun when practically all of the other students leave for the summer and I am one of like five kids that stayed behind. Playing solitaire gets pretty old very fast when you have absolutely nothing else to do with your time.

The only thing that I really did find to keep myself occupied was to just surf the web in search of some things that I find interesting or that might help me along in my career goals. What I was really led to were a series of blogs that were directed at various things. The two that were pertinent to my education were an actual education blog and a rehab blog. www.educationthoughts.com and drugaddictionthoughts were just a couple of sites that I had found which were all about various aspects of education and rehabilitation. I didn't really expect to learn a whole bunch of new stuff, but they really did give me little chunks of info to start me off in research studies of things I was interested in. I also looked at www.homeimprovementthoughts.com which is of course a home improvement blog. I have always dreamed of building my own house and I thought it was cool finding someone with the same sort of interest and the same sort of expertise on the topic.

Other than my dorky research of school related things, I didn't do anything this summer. Now I am literally counting down the hours until the semester begins next week and I am beginning to get really excited to get back on to some sort of an organized schedule since it has been so long. For now I think that I will go back to my daily ritual of sitting and flipping through the channels until I fall asleep for the night. I hope that everyone else's summer has been going a lot better than mine has.
