Summer laziness has started to set in. It’s less than a week in, but I’m already settling into the period of blah that was Summer of ’09.* I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about in this post, so I just sort of let myself write those past two sentences. And then my idea for my goals for this summer came back. I admit, some of them are fairly short term. But before I give you the list, I am going to tell you about my day.
I slept for about 12 hours, waking up at 11. I didn’t really want to get up, but I knew that I had to if I wanted to get anything done today. I had planned to clean my room, for two reasons: (1) I was going to invite my best friend over tomorrow and (2) It really is a mess.
I’m sure that this is true for other people besides myself, but I simply cannot clean my room if I don’t have the motivation to. Sometimes, I am really weird about my motivation. For example, sometimes I feel like a house elf and want to clean everything.** Other times, I just get this feeling that I want to clean. It’s hard to explain.
But whenever I tell myself that I am going to clean on a certain day, I never get it done, because the motivational pandas*** run away.
I have a feeling that once I call my best friend, Neva, I may get the motivation. Of course, that probably will not work, because it’s not like Neva will care if my room is clean. Seriously. Her room is almost always a mess when I come over, probably 96% percent of the time. If it is not, we will make it that way before I leave.
So, my list. Right. Like I said, many of these are short term and will be finished within a few hours, but oh well.
My goals for Summer of 2010:
1. Call Neva and invite her over. This should have been done days ago, but whatever.
2. Clean my room.
3. Find the usb thingy that I need to use my wireless keyboard. This can only be accomplished once step 2 has been completed, because it is most definitely somewhere, hiding, in my room.
4. Finish reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide.
5. Completely plot out my NaNoWriMo novel, Revelation: I’d Rather Be Six Feet Under.
6. Vlog frequently.
7. Get 10(?) subscribers. Hopefully more. Hopefully.
8. Get at least one follower on this blog.****
And… I guess that’s it.

Oh, um, I said that the camp thing would make sense after this. For awhile, I had to think about it. I always say that things will make sense later, but then I don’t remember why they make sense, only that they do. Actually, sometimes they don’t even make sense anymore.
But I remembered. So there.
Last summer, my first summer not going to camp, was full of nothingness and wasted time.***** I hadn’t really committed to any goals, and thus, got nothing done. This summer will be different. I am going to get a lot of things done, and actually progress myself as a person.
I believe that is all I have to say on the subjects of goals.
So, I will tell you about my day. It has been pretty Hayley G Hoover centric, actually. I haven’t eaten much today, in contrast to yesterday, when I couldn’t stop eating. Instead, I read through nearly all of Hayley’s 2010 posts, and watched a bunch of her videos. I have been patiently awaiting her 5AG video all day, which, as of writing this, has yet to be posted. I have also been waiting for Allie’s newest blog post, which I believe will be up today.
That was my day. Now that I look back on it, it sounds really lame. But trust me, I enjoyed myself.
Oh, and um… Yesterday, my mom said that I was a polar bear because my room is apparently really cold.
In my head, I just made a joke about polar bears. I said, “Haha, I wonder if they call them polar bears because they live near the POLE. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, I’M SOOOO WITTY.” And then I mentally slapped myself, saying, “Well, YES, self. That is EXACTLY why they call them that. I don’t know why you would think yourself witty for that. Why else would they call them polar bears?”
“I know this is the last night they'll ever think of us as kids, as we drive around and around trying to escape this town.” – Summer of ’09, ALL CAPS

*Capitalized purely because of the song. I’m glad that my life has made it much simpler to choose this post’s song.
**That has never actually happened. I don’t know why I used that as an example, for it is not true and just makes me sound crazy. If something I say makes me sound crazy, I want it to be true so that I can claim my insanity. Whoa, really long detail for something not that important to the post.
***Again with the things that make me sound crazy. Motivational pandas? I have never said that before in my life. Sigh.
****In my mind, it is a lot more difficult to get blog followers than YouTube subscribers. I’m not sure whether or not this is true, but I’m sticking to that.
*****It sort of sounded like I was going to tell you about this in the beginning of the post, but I assure you, I was not.
