First Lazy Week

So the semester ended and I barely noticed. Seems like I notice less and less after each school year, to be honest. One day I'm hustling off to class, and then suddenly...I have nothing.

The first week is always super lazy for me. I sleep a lot more than I usually do, and I attempt to make schedules for productive days that never really happen. Hell, I still haven't unpacked most of my crap from the car(s) yet.

But next week I should be more active, so I hope we can get to some of the excellent things Rachel has listed in her post. I feel like we're running short on summers where everyone is going to be here, so let's try and take advantage, yes?


Also, this kid. Holy shit.

I was completely thrown.

And so it begins...

Guys, guys, guys, it's summertime (or close enough for some of us). I am so excited to do all of the things. Therefore, I have decided to compile a list of things we need to do and post it here. Add stuff that I forgot.

• Beach day 
• Chicago funtimes day
• Joanns for crafting awesomeness (I don't know any specifics)
• Garage Sale (because I have so much crap I need to get rid of, seriously it looks like I haven't moved out and I think my parents are starting to think about selling the house)
• Picnics
• Bonfires
• Movie nights
• Going to the Drive-In 
• Frankenstein on June 7th
• MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER ON JUNE 22ND
• Bake all of the things (I need recipes, I have a kitchen again next year, but I need recipes other than pasta and sauce)

I'm certain that I am forgetting things, but I know you guys will let me know and then we can make a master list.

I just don't want to waste this summer, which will probably be our last one to be absolutely carefree (aside from jobs).

Just a side note: Does anyone have a bike tire pump? I would like to borrow it because my sister and I will be sharing the car this summer. So I'll be riding my bike a lot.

NaNo in the Summer

So I'm just going to spam all of our blogs with this--Camp NaNo is now open, and for those of you who don't know, it is essentially NaNoWriMo, but in the summer. This is great since November is always a tricky month for a lot of us who still have to deal with finals, and the months of June and August are blessedly finals-free! The rules are the same as standard NaNo: write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. I personally intend to participate in both June and August, and I really hope some of you will join me. It's a great experience, and one you should definitely have if you've ever entertained even slightly the thought of being a writer.

You really have no excuse. So do it.
