Life. Or something like it.

I have just finished two weeks of non-stop, on the move, never having a minute to relax nightmare. Well, I guess nightmare is a bit of an overstatement, because I won't lie, some of it was fun.

To give you a rough idea, I have worked an approximate total of 65+ hours at Fircrest Golf Course. For those of you that don't know, I work there as a bag room employee, meaning I am responsible for golf bags, greeting members, taking care of carts, the range, etc. The list of responsibilities is actually a good three pages typed out, compliments of my fabulous boss, Brenden. Anyway, the short of it is, my job can be on the labor intensive side. There is a reason you work 4-6 hour shifts as opposed to 8 hour shifts. You can get burnt out pretty fast. Now seeing as I worked there almost everyday (two days off in the past two weeks), you might be able to say I burnt myself out. Not to mention yesterday AND today I worked a double shift. Ugh.

I'm not totally sure why I have felt the need to work work work. I have money (for once!), so it's not that. I think I sorta feel like this summer needs to be like real life. I need to start working everyday, or close to it, eight-ish hours and get used to a daily routine. I'm feeling the need to just start my life. College is fun, and I most definitely miss it, but just the summertime has brought me to a point where I want to get a day job and work. That's just where I'm at now, but I'm sure as soon as I get to Seattle, those feelings will change.

Also, Josh left for school already. I can't believe he is already back in Pullman! I feel like I barely saw him at all. Especially compared to last summer. But cest la vie! We're all growing up and have jobs, lives, responsibilities... We don't have that same freedom we did as freshly graduated seniors from high school. I miss him already! I guess it's not so much that I feel we're drifting apart that I'm afraid we will drift apart. I don't know. Me being a paranoid girl I guess. He's so busy at school pursuing his life goals and aspirations as an athletic trainer, it makes it hard to find time to visit. Hopefully time will fly and I will see him soon!

As for the good/fun part of the past two weeks, I have spent some time with Jimmy and Zach, two of my good friends. I feel the clock ticking with Jimmy though. He leaves for Pullman I think next week. We are going to see The Dark Knight at the IMAX tomorrow night and that should be fun. I love how our friendship has grown since high school. We are so comfortable with each other, it allows me to genuinely be myself in front of him, something that I never had with him in high school. I definitely sense the change in him and it compliments him well! I am planning to visit him mid September and looking forward to it very much! Zach leaves close to the same time as I do, so I haven't felt that clock yet. Recently Zach and I have been watching Lost, a fantastic show! I feel we have become much better friends over the summer as well. Zach is the kind of guy every person should have as their friend. He is kind, funny, generous, and accepting. He has transfered to Central this year and I only wish him the best! We are planning on seeing Pineapple Express tomorrow. Can't wait!

Cody got back from Boston today and we are going to go golfing (hopefully) tomorrow. That will be fun. I haven't seen him in a while. I miss my baby bro!

I'm very much looking forward to the remainder of August. This next weekend I have my Landmark seminar up in Seattle, and I couldn't be more excited! I have gone through a lot just to be able to do this and I can't wait to see what I get out of it. Our family Ocean Shores trip is coming up as well, and that always proves to be exciting! Lastly, Bumbershoot is quickly approaching! With my next paycheck, I plan on getting a three day pass so I can enjoy all three days of music and magic.
