.Slacking off
It's 1pm in the afternoon. i've just finished lunch, but there is nothing for me to do in the office. So Instead of looking for work to do I've decided to slack off till I'm needed and post instead. I've only got one more day left so it's not a huge deal if I goof off for an hour or so.
My summer is really beginning this thursday. I will revert to be seven years old again. where walking bare feet in the grass is the best feeling. Where the days seems like the last for weeks. Where all you want to eat for the entire summer is popsicles and hotdogs.
I'm looking forward to a summer of planning. Planning our trip to Ontario. Going to farm houses and big cities. Visiting relatives and meeting new ones. Falling asleep on the train, being baked in the son. This is my first trip on my own. sure I went to Europe when I was 15, but the only part I did on the own was the plane trip. As soon as I got there I went around with their family. I feel as if this is the first time I'm totally going on my own vacation, where I plan where I'm going to be, no one else (well the boy of course. I want to show him Ottawa. Although I only lived there for the first 5 years of my life, there's a little part that seems like home. A familiarity that remains with me no matter how long between visits.
I'm looking forward to planning my big adventure. Across the Ocean. Out on my own. Learning things I could never learn here. It's scary though. Picking up to a place where I know no one. It's not like I'm living in another province, when I'm home sick I can take a 20 hour bus ride home. I'll be in a place where I know no one, and no one knows me. I will have Claire, if she is still over there in 2 years time. Her and her family, they feel like home. They always will. And the boy...well he is home.
I'm looking forward to reading. As I've mentioned before, it is my goal to read as much as I can this summer. the summer of planning and literacy. I'm almost done my first summer book, and I have the second one lined up, waiting fo rme in my bag.
Let's go dancing! the next two weeks I have nothing to do thursday mornings, or wednesday nights. Lets go to retro night....a lot of us. it's always more fun that way. After the 16 I will only be able to go out on the friday and saturday nights (I mean out really late), so no retro nights for me. Come on! let's go. Let me know.
Wow. that only killed 10 minutes....now what?
