Summer is here! It is so funny how change drives me. Although the discipline and dedication (sacrifice) that comes along with the consistent is necessary… wouldn’t you agree that we also need to feel as though we could always be learning or doing something new to keep us going? Consistency oftentimes makes me restless, so when I am able to be living in a time where I can forgo too much consistency for new experiences and the randomness of life, I get excited.
During this time in college, (actually since I started school in kindergarten) my time has been measured in relation to the school year. The way in which we measure time says a lot about where we are in our lives, and it will be strange when I measure time by a different standard. How do you measure time? I think I also measure it according to experiences that I have, or significant periods of my life that stand out. For example last year (which I also label in relation to school-sophomore year), I think my friends and I and both talk about it in relation to who we are this year, and how God has done different things in our lives- measuring these times by the way we have changed or how we are different than we were before.

“Extraordinary Machine”-
“I still only travel by foot and by foot, it’s a slow climb,
But I’m good at being uncomfortable, so
I can’t stop changing all the time…
I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I’ve been getting along for long before you came into the play”
My heart is just tingling with excitement for this summer…
Trips to NYC (hitting up Cafe Grumpy’s in Brooooklyn please! http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/13/dining/13coff.html?_r=1&oref=slogin), Asheville and Charlotte NC, and possibly some other places!
Camping and hiking and bouldering! Especially hiking some of the Appalachian trail (PA through VA) at the end of July (made easier now with my new friend from App Ski and Outdoors – discounts baby!)
