Summer bummer

Well... Hello, July! You're here with a vengeance.

I am sitting outside, thankfully in a patch of shade, enjoying some afternoon procrastination with Daisy. She is sniffing Ben's tomatoes. I am wiping the sweat from my brow and hoping this caffeine headache goes away.

Summertime is nice and I am enjoying the weather and the sunshine and socializing with all my favorite people. What I am not enjoying so much are my classes and the indecision surrounding the next several months of my life.

Class at OSU and Ashland is tiring and generally annoying. I'm ready to be done with this.

Ben's applying for jobs. With any luck, in a couple of very short months, he won't live here anymore. Not that I want him to leave. Quite the opposite. Him leaving however, means that he has a job.

It's strange to think about the fact that I won't live here all that much longer either. Columbus has been my home pretty much all of my life, and at this point I'll only be here for another year or so, max. It's very exciting to think about living in a new place. I think I'll be happier about it when I know where that place is. Right now there are lots of candidates - New York, Chicago, Boston, Kanasas City, Houston, Toronto...the list goes on and on. Only time will tell, I suppose.

Big Brother has started up again, which is awesome. I know it's complete crap, but I love the drama.

I am planning a surprise outing for Ben this weekend. We'll see if it all works out.
