Summertime and the Living is Easy

I spend the majority of my year looking forward to the eight weeks from June to August when I don't have to see teenagers. Not that I don't like my teenagers, I'd just rather not see them every day.  Well, most of them.  Regardless, I start the school year ready for the school year to be over, but when summer comes I find myself bored and wishing there was something to do.  I sleep a lot (because that's something I don't do much of for the rest of the year), I read (see previous parenthetical statement), I watch a lot of movies, spend too much time on YouTube.  Nothing beneficial, except maybe the sleep. 

So this summer, I'm trying to be a little more productive.  I'm working on a sewing project, because I find it a little sad that I can build a huge set out of wood without much difficulty, but have never made a garment of any kind.  I went in to work to day to do get some stuff done.  Nothing important, and nothing that would be done in the course of the year because of it's lack of urgency, but something that I hope will make life a little easier next year. 

But I'm worried that despite my good intentions, I will keep staying up way too late (it's only 2 AM, this is not late!) and spending way too much time lying in bed doing, well, nothing.  So I figured, maybe I should blog about it.  Because nothing sucks more than getting to August and realizing I haven't really done anything with my summer other than play video games and sleep. 

Here's to a productive summer.
