Polish
I have been so utterly bored lately that I’ve resorted to completing small, unimportant tasks to pass the time. This morning it was painting my toenails, which will likely be the highlight of my day, as I have utterly nothing else to do. My only concern at this point is getting to the weekend as quickly as possible, which can be rather difficult when there is literally not a single thing to be done. Summer is such a drag.
This weekend, though, will be different: Scott is visiting! It will have been three weeks since we left school, which is the longest we’ve had to go without seeing each other. This is particularly difficult, given that we are used to being only a few doors down from each other. Unfortunately this idea of only being able to see each other once a month until the summer is over is just something that I’m going to have to get used to. It is slowly getting easier with time, aided by the fact that, for some reason, the days seem to be passing fairly quickly, somehow despite the fact that each day I am consumed only with watching the minutes pass.
In any case, this weekend should be really great. Simply being able to hang out with each other is always enough, but Scott and I do have a few activities planned so we can get out of the house. This includes going out to eat (hopefully at least once, and fast food restaurants don’t count), and going bowling. I will probably end up regretting the bowling decision because I am just so awful at it and I really don’t enjoy it much at all, but at this point I am just so eager to get out of the house that I’d probably have fun doing anything as long as it doesn’t involve sitting around and watching TV alone. While these are significant events on the itinerary, I expect that much of the remainder of our time will be filled with the requisite boyfriend/girlfriend activities (wink wink, nudge nudge).
In two weeks I’ll be going up to Maine for the summer, which is also something to look forward to because I will begin work. While of course it’s not the actual work I’m looking forward to, it’s the fact that going to work will, at least, give me something to do each day. I also have a few friends up in Maine, which will sometimes give me things to do while I’m not working. In a nutshell, I actually have somewhat of a life when I am up in Maine, whereas when I am home here, I am simply taking up space on the couch (don’t be fooled though, – I’ll still spend a significant time doing just that in Maine, too).
Anyway, I suppose the main point of this blog entry is that if I’m going to spend the next two weeks of my life wasting away on the couch, at least I will have pretty toenails while doing it.

Aw, I hope you and your boyfriend have an amazing time together! My situation is similar – during the regular school year, we were just a few floors away from each other. However, since his home is close to the school, he comes up about once a week. I couldn’t handle not seeing him for a month!
Haha I know that feeling, being so bored that painting your nails, or checking your email, or going to the letterbox, is the highlight of your day.
Giggidy giggidy.
Gotta love toe polish! Have you ever noticed that nail polishes lasts SO much longer on your toe nails than it does on your finger nails? That annoys me a little, seeing as though people usually see your fingers more than your toes.
Ahh, those boyfriend/girlfriend activities
