Be humble, bumble bee.

I think I am a lone wolf sometimes.

One of the top characteristics of highly successful sales people is that they are not gregarious people. Of course I am taking that out of context, and I am no amazing salesperson... but any way to justify that I enjoy my times of running errands solo will do.


A summer with no obligations but to make money. This feels like doing housechores to get allowance money back in elementary school. The years following elementary school, summer seemed to be busy with other duties. What is a newly graduate to do but to blog and update her facebook status every minute?


Anxiously waiting for an e-mail is not a way a girl living in 2011 should live her summer. I need to travel somewhere; I need to go exploring somewhere. Perhaps I will invest in a camera and do what every other blogger seems to be doing: take pictures about my day and talk about them. But I should do something unique.

....
What is unique anyway? You think about something, and somebody online has done it. Somebody offline has done it. Somebody is doing it right now. And all the while you are sitting here typing to an invisible audience about what is even unique considering the vast possibilities that arise from the combination of diverse, clever people plus the world wide web.


This week I have eaten a 5 month old orange that wasn't too bad and a 2 month old watermelon that I blame for my recent stomachache. A recent poverty scare occurred and to retaliate, I searched through my mailbox and what is left on my desk is the result of my ability to act accordingly.

If only I could find the battery charger to my camera would I show you what is on my desk. It would be more humorous or enjoyable to watch.

You can guess to what I have on my desk but I will not hold you in suspense for very long for it is not worth your suspense or your further reading.


Must a college graduate live in this manner?


The answer is a resounding yes.


Now I will go return those near- $90 shoes that I of two months ago thought I could afford.
