Summer Cram

A slight chill in the air has returned and with it thoughts of autumn. It's the time of year when you don't have to fear the electric bill, where you can sleep with the windows open and try to cram everything you wanted to do over the summer months into the last few warm days.

Oh how this summer was a good one, but not the most memorable. So I'm going to make a list of things I wanted to do, but was either busy, lazy, lonely, or too poor to do and finish off this summer right.

-Milwaukee Zoo

-Road Trip

-A rock or country concert

-Do a triathlon

-Bonfire parties

-Old World Wisconsin

-Camping

-Visit the cabin up north and get freaked out by all the bugs

-More fishing

-Lay out underneath the stars

-More outdoor festivals

-Visit my dad and grandpa up north

-Go hiking

-Horseback riding

-6 Flags Great America

Writing My Story

Though my week has had a rough start, I had a great past weekend with my siblings. After a nice evening of Wii Fit and wine with my brother, Jason, I was inspired to write a book. He mentioned the idea to me after we discussed what I am planning to do with my chosen field of study in Journalism.

After some contemplation on the issue, I've decided to go for it. I'm unsure about what I want to write about, so I'm going to start by writing my own autobiography. I figure ideas for books and things will come as I reveal my life's story. I have nothing to lose, and figure I'll have something to leave behind for my family when I'm old, gray and dead.

An Off Week

Oh how this week has not been one of my finest. It seems that everyday something unexpected seems to throw my day out of whack. Today is the fourth day into the week and of course the fourth upsetting thing has happened today.

During this not so good week, the one thing that seems to be doing wonderful is my running routine. I'm jogging between 5 and 6 miles a day and can see dramatic definition in my legs and abdominals.

Living in Waukesha has been great, however the hopeful career start isn't looking up for me yet. I currently have been applying for about 2 jobs a day in addition to bartending and freelance writing.

The other day, I was training to waitress at my new job when it dawned on me that I should be the one being waited on during my lunch break not the other way. Urrr... it is so hard to put my pride aside.

So I'm trying to stay positive, realizing that a couple downers can make me appreciate life when it is great.
