Come back, summer.

Sometimes I wish I were riding on a moped around Paris, admiring the townsfolk & flowers, but alas, this picture is from Universal Studios. Oh well.

It still hasn't hit me that my summer is coming to an end & it will be my last time anticipating the upcoming school year as an undergrad. These are sweet times, knowing that the things of the future are coming into fruition right before your very eyes. Scary, but exciting. I'm in this stage of ambiguity where I have absolutely no idea what I'll be doing once I graduate. Really. No idea. I'm still on the hunt for an internship & applied to a few more yesterday. I may or may not be working, I may or may not be going for a Master's, I may or may not... be preparing for other new chapters in my life... Haha, but I really don't know! This is a pretty interesting (for lack of a better word) season of really trusting in the Lord. After all, His plan reigns, not mine, right? "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps" (Proverbs 16:9).

It also helps that I'm still in the recovery stage. To recap, I had appendicitis exactly 2 weeks ago so I've been slowly, but surely, healing & admiring my stitches. I'm limited in activities but also limited in budget! Even cleaning my room is somewhat forbidden because I'd get in trouble for lifting objects (even though I've told people that 10 lbs is my limit-- but since I'm at my 2-week mark, I can now advance to 20 lbs!). Regardless, I have yet to do some school supply shopping & grab a few groceries. Sometimes I feel lazy. Sometimes I AM lazy. I do a lot of reading & eating & movie watching & talking with people. I wanna be active! I hope this desire doesn't fade away once my 4-week mark comes; I'm told that I should be at 100% by then.

Anyhoos, I just found ants in my room. Well... almost. They're climbing from my backyard to my windowsill. Those crazy ants. My baby succulent is sitting there trying to get as much sun as possible & I guess ants are attracted to that?? I don't know, but I just sprayed them all with this bug spray of death & placed my succulent plant outside where it should be, I suppose.

Ha, that's one way to end a blog post!
