twenty-two -- ahhhh, summer.

Getting through my Indonesia withdrawal, I am now very much enjoying my summer at home. My days have, at least this week, been filled with regular exercise, actually doing things with friends, and plenty vegging at the computer, catching up with my Google Reader, TIME.com, and other news sources. Sometimes, with everything going on in the U.S., I'd rather unplug from the rest of the world, but I can't go back to school without knowing about anything that happened in the States this summer... after all, we are the center of the world.

Regardless, I feel very healthy (well, I'm still working off the pounds I gained in Indo) and happy (well, still working through post-break up emotions, but whatev). In fact, a day or two ago I hit up the public library that I usually go every summer to pick up a stack of books. It's really satisfying to come home with a stack of books. I brought a mixed bag of books, ranging from books on Bali, East of Eden, Satanic Verses, Good in Bed (blatant chic-lit), and so on. I love books and it lets me strain my eyes over paper rather than a computer screen. I'm thinking of checking out a bunch of books before we leave to India..

Few things I need to improve on: drinking water, spending less time at the computer, adjust my sleeping schedule to go to bed a little earlier and wake up earlier, finish cleaning the nuclear wasteland that is my bedroom.

summer 2009, thus far, has been a fascinating, rewarding adventure. studying abroad in indonesia for a month, i returned home to thereafter go to chicago for an amazing spiritual retreat for young adults. the combination of the two has me looking at life with a fresh perspective.

as i leave for india, i'll definitely continue to keep track of my experiences there, here! i'm a huge fan of the old school pen-and-paper journalling, but blogging is tons of fun too -- and a great way to stay in touch with everyone at home.

hit me up with a comment -- i'd love to hear from you all!

peace & love,
Nina
