So I got back from Barcelona last night around 1 am, and thus, slept until about 10:30 this morning. Having made toast with tomatoes and eaten it along with a thingie of yogurt, I wandered into the office-area place to maybe do some wandering about the internet only to see a giant blank space on the desk where the host parents' laptop wasn't. Undaunted, I used the opportunity to try out a little experiment I'd been wondering about. I fetched hither yon lappy and plugged yon lappy into their internet and lo and behold, the internets came flowing into yon lappy like sweet summer rain. Having visited some, but not all, of my regularly frequented corners of the boundless ocean of internet that I have so often of late found closed to me, I decided that it had been too too long since I had contributed an extensive, eloquent, and ultimately pointless tributary stream of consciousness to the digital waters I imbibe like it's going out of style. Take this paragraph, now. Without even trying, I just created an extended metaphor! See what happens when I have my own keyboard under my fingers and sweet digeridoo music I bought from some street musician guys in Barcelona? Given the right circumstances, I'm a friggin' fount of eloquence.
So. Now that I've established what exactly I'm doing, it's time for me to actually do it.
Okay, so I lied. I went and took a shower (stinging my sunburn, it should be mentioned), turned my ripped-up jeans into ripped-up shorts, put them on along with a shirt, sat down and pondered topics on which this post could continue. So now, here we goes!
I am wicked excited for the summer. Already, the weather and blooming of trees and the like are having an inexplicably significant impact on my mood. This summer, upon my return home, I have planned and been promised any number of amusing diversions which, for the sake of the heck of it, I will list here in the old standby, bullet-point format:
- Learning to drive a stick-shift
- Learning to solve a Rubiks' cube
- Epic midnight pancake parties
- Berry-picking and subsequent cobbler-making
- Tree-climbing
- Bicycle-riding
- Music-making
- Out-hanging in the park
- Dancing!
- Dance-teaching (maybe)
- Slovak-speaking with Livia and Lea & Alesh (maybe)
- Staying up all night with my electric-kettle and wifi access
- Breaking up with Jim, my imaginary boyfriend
- Toast-eating
- Movie-watching
- Ikea-going
- Room-furnishing
- Car-driving with windows down and music blaring
- Hot tub sitting
- Game buying
- Game playing (both at home and with friends)
Them's all I can think of at the moment. In any event, this promises to be an awesome summer. I'm going to get some more food, then maybe continue this jaunty little post afterward.
Or maybe not. I'm out of things to say at the moment. Have a good week, everypeoples!
