Around the Corner

With warmer days ahead, I look forward to basking in summer air reading books and fighting off bugs. It will be great to revel in my romantic side during the long daylight hours of the year. I am reading my second book of the year which feature Theodore Roosevelt. As the warm air nears, I imagine myself voyaging at will and tackling the adventures that come as Teddy would do. I would love to pass my time hiking through woods and swimming in small lakes, taking breaks here and there to eat cheeseburgers.

There is no rest however, from my studies or my job. Four to five nights a week spent at a certain grocery store I no longer wish to name aloud. I have three classes on my plate for the summer. They will run, unfortunately, from May all the way into August. It may prove to be quite a long summer in fact. I hope at least, my classes are more compelling than what I have taken so far. My mind is in dire need of stimulation, something I feel it has lacked for some time now. My imagination still turns, but I ashamed myself in admitting that I have been lazy in exploiting it. It seems the lackluster courses at Kent State and the absence creative energy in Newbury has stifled my creative passion.

Yet with summer around the corner and the return of certain people in my life I cling hope that energy and passion laying dormant within me, will find some medium with which to escape. It also seems, that warmer air puts an extra step in my stride and adds an extra inch to my smile. It is difficult to be bored when the leaves are green and the grass is dry and inviting.
