My fingers itch for summer... can't you feel it? It's so close and so far away all at once. I wonder how to acurately describe the feeling... a hint of sorrow, tons of excitement, and a taste of adventure. It's almost here. Summer. The almighty season where homework is non-existent, work is futile, and the days are long and long awaited.
The problem with me is this: I am TOO ready for summer to be upon us. I have a million different ideas for novels and stories in my head and not enough time to do them. In fact, at this moment in time (yes, at the moment I am writing to you now), I SHOULD be typing up some sort of Junior Thesis for my U.S. history teacher. I am too lazy to do homework and too lazy to write my next manuscript! I am too lazy to eat and too lazy to stop typing. I am too lazy to be a high school student and I most certainly am too lazy to be a high school student with a dream. And since I know that I am under-qualified to do and be all of the things I know I should do an be, I should have sense enough to drop the act and cease to dream about being the superwoman I'd like to think I could be if only I weren't as lazy as I truly am. But I do not have as much sense. I guess my mom was right when she said I had a thick head.
My passion for writing stretches far beyond a hobby--- I am obsessed. I carry around notebooks and papers and pens religiously as if without them, I will cease to exist. I am never without an opinion and I am never without something to say. I think this is a key factor in my writing obsession. I mean, if you are a person who also struggles with ALWAYS having something to say, you'll realize that there isn't always someone to say these things to (and this, my friend, is where the paper and pen come in handy, you see). And now, I have so much to say and not enough energy to say them all I have decided to try to write another manuscript.
My moods swing like dawn and dusk. They come and go everyday but leave an imprint on the world when they do. My mood today is determined. I hope, then, that you will feel determined too.
