Ah, college summers.

I am almost officially going to be home this summer.  Which makes sense, really.  I am not nearly as prepared (economically) to live on my own, eight hours away from home as I think I am.  I should relish the last chance I have to be home, with my food provided for me, not having to pay rent, and with a car at my disposal, but I just am not fully there yet.  There will be benefits - I'll have more time to practice music, write music, spend time with God and relax.  I just know that this summer has the potential to completely go to waste - and I am much more likely to waste a summer when I'm in the comfort of my childhood home, my life in Nashville on pause, free to do as a please.  Oy.

And it's harder knowing that so many of my dear friends will be off galavanting around the world, studying abroad, doing mission work, making the world a better place.  At this point in life I just feel stuck.  Life is waiting to start, but I have no means to put it into motion just yet.  So I need to set some goals for the summer, that it might not go completely to waste, and I will post them here, for my own benefit, ASAP.  I am determined, now, to make the best of this.
