fall is quickly approaching. in less than a week it will be september, school's already back in session, and i've had the windows open in my apartment everyday this week. even though the warm temperatures will be back this weekend, i know it'll all be okay because in a few weeks it will be time for boots and long sleeves and cardi's. it's been wonderful to go walk around downtown over lunch and not come back to work as a big, sweaty mess. i'm looking forward to being outdoors again and to being a comfortable temperature in my apartment, this window unit does not always do the trick.
summer is over and i don't feel as if i accomplished all of what i'd hoped to. after moving in may(and subsequently planning in vain to write weekly on this blog) i let my goals slip from grasp. after a series of work related stresses, some financial issues i found myself plagued with a big bout of unmotivation. to this day there is still a pile of items stacked in the corner of my new bedroom, just waiting to find a home. the top of my desk has become a catchall for all things that cross it's path. the laptop has found a new home atop a fold out tv tray since it can't hold a charge and can't stay plugged into the charger without being ever so particularly sitting in just the right way. i bought a television before the big move and while i hadn't watched television with any seriousness (or even casually) for a couple of years, i've found myself sitting on this couch and watching away (only good things though, promise. lot's and lots of PBS.)i found myself busy on every single day in june; working odd hours, going to classes, doctors appointments, taking tests, and being tortured by dentists. so i over-relaxed in july,(and went to Omaha) because i felt it was well deserved. and then august just slipped by.
but school has started again, summer break officially over, structure added back into my life. and i am going to keep up with this blog more, for nothing more than the fact that it is just good habit to write something down as often as possible. practice makes perfect. i'm going to continue growing my hair out to its' once lusciously, long glory (and i'm well on the way, haven't cut it since march.) i'm going to work on getting healthy again after my most recent doctor's visit let me in on the secret that i've somehow managed to gain 15 pounds since this time last year. i've also decided to revive my once prospective hobby of knitting. i'm going to keep working on the goal i once had of becoming the best me that i can be, because i can't really think of anything else more integral in my life.
see ya soon,
aubrey
