The Start of Something New

The end of my semester has come. 3 A's, 1 B, 1 C... Not my ideal grade point average, but it'll do. I think I deserve those grades. Now I have all the time in the world, seeing that I don't have a job, and can no longer be considered a student (at least for the nest three months)(and that is also only an official title. I think everyone is a student until they can no longer think...but that's another story).

Hmmm...I wonder if I still want to major in Jewish Studies?

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." -Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind
I think I am going to catch up on movies. I haven't seen a movie in a while. Or at least a classic film. I am going to rely on my trusty Allison and Steven duo. Al is an actress. Stevo is a musician. We have late night 'cheesy bread movie night dates.' I like them a lot! Al and Steven, as well as our movie dates.

"This is not a book that should be tossed lightly aside. It should be hurled with great force." -Dorothy Parker
My Engl Prof gave me this quote last night, our last class together. I've taken Rob Williams twice and I would gladly take him again.
I think I am going to actually finish books this summer. I will often pick up a book, fall in love with it, and then never finish it. I have yet to "read" Jesus for President, Traveling Mercies, Slaughter House Five, The Bell Jar and Makes me Wanna Holler. I want to read. And I want to write. I want to put together all the snippets I've collected of eavesdropping on others' conversations, or interactions with me. I want to finish my poems. Organize.


"If music be the food of love, play on." -William Shakespeare
I am going to eat this summer. Really, I want to have at least two full meals a day and some snacks and chocolate. I rarely had time to sleep, let alone eat...always running around doing something. So I am going to eat! And I am excited
I am also planning on putting together music playlists for people. I've made one that I am very excited about. I've named it "edit" because I keep changing it. But I really do like it so far...


And this means, if I am going to be reading, watching and eating, that I will most likely be smoking. And that means I will spend too much time at my trusty *bucks...


And cleaning my room...


dyeing my hair...


praying for my dear friends in Israel...

And being...
Just learning how to be. Resting. In peace.
That is my goal for the summer.
To find PEACE. I don't want any drama. I don't want any hurt feelings. Or sad feelings. I don't want there to be any deaths. Or accidents. Or illness. Or frustration. Or sex. Or babies. Or marriages. I want to figure out what this whole thing, following Jesus, really looks like. For reals. yo. ugh. Maybe I am just a romantic. But maybe, the next three months can prove that it might not be so bad. Being a romantic, I mean.
Remind me, in three months, if I've done any of these things. I want to remember this one...
