Summer Blahs

So here it is. June 20th, 2010. It's day two of my "summer blah" which means the symptoms are irratibility, slight headache, and intense lack of patience. Yes, summer blah is a valid disease, in my world, and these days it seems as though I'm the only victim.

Most people look forward to summer all year long...they trudge through school work and business and extra calories along with everything else the winter months offer, so that by June they're free to enjoy the laziness and excitement of summer! While I'll admit I do get very excited about summer, a huge part of me dreads it. All my life I've never once had a summer where most of the days were filled with exciting things and fun adventures. I can't remember ever going on a real vacation with the family, and that will never happen, nor can I remember going back to school and being able to say I had an eventful summer.

Now I know I may be getting a little overdramatic, but this is just how I feel. It's two-ish months of sitting around my house watching the clock change numbers. It's watching so many movies in one day I forget what plots belonged to which movie (which is a problem!) These days especially I have acquired an almost nonexistant tolerance of boredom. If I have to stay locked up in the house for more than two days without doing anything, I can get the most extreme levels of the symptoms mentioned above. It's the closest thing to pure torture I've ever experienced.
I know some may look at this and laugh at how dramatic I'm being, but honestly who wouldn't go crazy being locked up by themselves with nothing fun or exciting to do...for consecutive summers in a row? And NO, doing dishes or washing the floor are not good examples of things to do because I already do those all the time and they are worse than being stagnant in my chair in my room.

I'm just praying a lot that God opens up opportunities for me to have a productive and fun summer this time around. I don't want it to be like all the others... this is a time for hitting the beach, hanging with friends every day, going to amusement parks and creating beautiful memories with the ones whom we are closest to. I really don't want to miss any of that this summer. So I hope my close friends can help me get rid of that nasty "Summer Blah" disease!
