Summer
June 14, 2014
Right before I finished second year, I had a checklist in mind as to what I wanted to accomplish this summer. I decided not to take summer school this year so I had a lot of free time I needed to make productive.
- Find a part-time job
- Volunteer at the hospital
- Learn to drive
I am happy that I can check off all the things on my list! The hardest thing to get was a volunteer position at the hospital because they have so many applicants per year. They placed me in the NICU/pediatrics area! The families and volunteers there are so sweet which makes the shift a lot more rewarding.

One thing I really should be doing this summer is exercising. Half way into the year, I think I've only "broken a sweat" twice. I do a lot of walking but it isn't physically demanding cardio. I'm convinced that I grew half to a full pants size over the year. Two pairs of shorts from last summer no longer fit me and neither do two pairs of pants. I need to break the habit of solely depending on my metabolism.
Book reading has been on a hold. I finished reading The Program by Suzanne Young and I really recommend it if you're into dystopian novels. I've instead been busy watching TV dramas- anyone ever watch Flashpoint? The series ended but I've only recently started the show and I think I've already watched half of the episodes already- it's that good.
