So far I've
Started "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury.
Eaten quite a bit of watermelon (The rain has kept me inside but I may go for a walk today).
This leaves much left to do.

"Cheer up! Cuz nothing really matters when you look up into outer space. It's a great big world and there's no need to cry... Cheer up! The atoms in your body are as old as every dinosaur. You're a special part of one big grand design..." - A Great Big World, "Cheer Up"

Summer Projects
This is not a new blog, but it's getting a fresh start.
For me, summer began at noon on Friday, May 2. My final class of my first year of college ended. It was an unbelievably blue-and-green day, warm but not-quite-hot. I returned to my dorm, packed up my life, and moved out the next day. I got back to my hometown on Sunday and have been home for almost three days now.
To get through four months in a small, small town in East Texas without going insane (cow town life is a lot less appealing after a year in the big city), I've assigned myself a number of projects for the summer months. The projects are as follows:
1. Read 15 important books
2. Write a journal entry in Hindi at least once a week
3. Get a summer job
4. Write a rough draft of a novel
5. Earn a driver's license
6. Take a trip to Rhode Island
So far, I've read one book: "Paper Towns" by John Green. It wasn't on the list, so I still have 15 left to read. I'll post my reading list later.
As for summer jobs, I'll apply at the local Hastings and Starbucks. Getting a job isn't absolutely vital, so I'm only applying places that I'd actually like to work.
The trip to Rhode Island will take place in July.
More on these projects as they develop.
