School's out for...?

I didn't let myself post the other day because I was feeling kind of blue. It doesn't feel much like the summer break I'm used to after a year of classes. I LOVE rain, but it's just been gloomy outside during the day. And I can't really shake the anxiety I've been feeling about being unemployed. I'm not sure why it's weighing so heavily on me. But I can say that this feeling has opened my eyes about what life is like for those who have to take care of families, pay for homes, etc. I have a profound respect for those who can do it right and a greater sense of sympathy for those who struggle with these things. I know I'm not living in awful conditions, but living on my own gives me a different perspective on what responsibility is.

On a nicer note, I have been enjoying myself. It's nice to hang out with friends without having to worry about what time I have to wake up in the morning or what I have to get done. I'm also loving my sweatpants/movie days. Not having a television for most of my college career may have been compensated in the last week and a half. And Maggie, my awesome new roommate, has been wonderful. It's fun to hang out with her and do new things. We went to the Farmer's Market on Sunday. So fun! So yummy! Maybe best of all is hanging out with Lily, my new friend. She's got quite a personality and has taken residence in my lap. She loves giving kisses and is quite the talker. Isn't she adorable?
