Rant: This summer...., wtf Options

[hitcachi]

Bah. Thats how i would describe this summer. Its almost over in a couple more weeks. I cant believe it. School will be starting again very soon for me. But this summer was just so........ i dunno.... plain. Minimal progress was made on the celica, summer cruising and racing was a total let down as nobody was really out in comparision to previous years. High gas? Probably, but who knows. Seemed like all my old running around buddies were no where to be found as jobs and trying to pay bills had already overtaken my class of 05.
I am now entering my second year of college and its depressing. I have absolutly no idea what i want to do with my life. At all. Summer is supposed to be a time to figure all the sh*t out, and it just didnt happen or work out the way i planned. To make matters worse, this will be my last summer here at home for a long time. After next school year is when i join up with the military. And where ever that takes me, who knows. I guess, all in all, its just been a let down. When your in adolesance, summers seem to last forever because you dont have a care in the world. Now, a few years have gone by, and my, how the times have changed.

I have friends in the military, and they seem to enjoy it immesnsely...they love always having something to do and being kept busy.

I dunno...I have a plan for what I want to do and how to get there, and somehow that bores me. Some people are unnerved by thinking about how to get where they want to go, but I'd prefer a life where I had no ties and didn't know where I'd be in a couple years...

I know some people who travel all over, just serving at restaurants...they come to St. Thomas once in a while to work where I work in the summer, and they leave when they get tired of the island life...I think that sounds absolutely awesome...

...but I have a scholarship, and if I so much as mention "a semester off," it goes bye-bye and I go broke...
