A Splurge into Simplicity

My summer has finally started. No more summer session classes. No more free-writes. No more artist statements. No more math homework. No more studying. No more multi-variable calculus. Nada. Summer has finally kicked into gear, and what great way to kick it off by relaxing in Vegas. Interesting enough, my summer session began with Vegas and simply ends with Vegas. Although, I wish my "winnings" would end the same way that I ended on my first trip (oh wells). It seems everything is perfectly balanced now...

With no summer school anymore, it's hard for me to change my thinking from "what I need to do" to "what I want to do". With so many ideas and plans that I want to do, I don't even know where to begin. One thing's for sure... what the hell happened to working on my portfolio website? I guess that's an item to start with for my summer. Hopefully I'll finish and post it up by the end of this month, but ideally up by end of the 2nd week of this month.

Aside from working on my website and pursuit of an internship and part-time job, I want to take this summer into simplicity. In essence, to relive it as a kid that I used to be. To relive those moments of just waking up and enjoy the atmosphere of summer. Just keeping things simple. Work on one thing at a time. Not so much worrying about what needs to be done or future events. To simply just work on art, chill out, indulge in music, refresh myself with delicious edibles. And most important of all after my recent awakening about Grace within me, to thoroughly relax and enjoy Jesus Christ. Life seems to slow down in the summer, and there's no greater opportunity than to savor it with Him. With exodus3's VBS approaching, I definitely want to see Grace work itself within me and upon the little kids.

Overall, I definitely want my last summer as an undergrad student to dive into simplicity and into sheer enjoyment.
