The Adjustment Has Begun

so life takes on another change. i have returned home for the summer after completing my first year at college. i must admit that i feel quite satisfied with my work, but it is far from over. after taking my psych exam on tuesday morining at 8am (which was like chewing glass as all psych exams are) i went back to the dorm to wait for my parents. two o'clock roles around and so does my dad's big white company van. dark news also came at about the same time. from what i heard, which i'm still trying to confirm, is that chef michael (the frenchman) dropped dead in the caf at lunch from a heart attack. i heard that there was nothing anyone could do, and i felt so strange because i saw him and noted his red complexion just a few hours earlier. death makes you really think about life. i'm fine with dying, but i'm not comfortable with loosing any of my loved ones, and it could happen at any time. anyways, a bunch of my hall friends and i loaded up the van and we left and returned home at about 11:30. i had two options at this time. A.) i could wake up really early in the morning and unload the van before my dad went to work and before my eight o'clock dr's appointment. or B.) i could unload the van right then and there. i chose B and was done by about 12:30. after that i still felt unsettled and so i went about unpacking my things. after getting about half way through i finally went to sleep as i had created enough room for me to move around somewhat across my floor. sleep was hard though. for one thing it is hot as hates in my room and for another, i was on college time which meant that it was only one o'clock and i usually stay up until three. this made things a bit difficult, but i weathered the storm. today was a very pro-active day. i woke up at about 7:30, took a shower, and headed to my dr's appointment. it turned out that once i found the place, i didn't have my insurance card, so i was reshceduled for friday morning. after that whole ordeal i went to work on my car and wash it, then i went to get a job. i shall be working at city lake pool again this year as a lifeguard. i'm very thankful for getting that position because of past circumstances, but it is still going to provide it's challenges. i'm a whole two years older this year though with college leadership experience under my belt, so i should be fine. after that was out of the way, i went to get registered for my CPR recertification class and then i went home to take a nap. i finished all of that before noon, so i felt pretty good. after the nap i hung out with karl and jordan and we learned how to juggle, handle, and eat fire. i admit it is quite exillirating, but being that i'm a pyromaniac that should be no suprise. once that was over i came back home and finished unpacking. my room looks quite lovely right now, and i plan on keeping it that way. i do have work at nine in the morning though, so i should be getting off to bed. i'm going to be painting the pool in the hot hot sun! i do miss my fellas from college, but we will be reunited in due time. if you're reading this now, i suggest we not dwell on that but instead keep eachother in our prayers and do what we need to do this summer. in that aspect i think time will move accordingly to our expectations. i do NOT miss classes however, so i shall enjoy my summer appart from that. anywho... have a pleasant summer everyone and i'll keep you posted on my exciting advenutre as a lifeguard at one of the east coast's largest pools. peace and love...
