At the coffee bean

So here i am, sitting at the Coffee Bean Cafe. A smallish type of roastery with brown/orange hews that make the environment one that is quite calming and conducive to a productivity. There are 9 fellow coffee lovers sitting in the Bean as well, sipping and talking in groups and pairs. Some, like myself are loners. There is a mildly attractive male sitting diagonally from me, who must have been here for quite some time based on the empty smoothie glass in front of him. His dark tussled hair and intelllegant brown eyes, along with the extensive amount of paper-work i front of him, denote a hardworking studious type of person. He holds his blue BIC pen with the cap snapped onto the back, head down in focus on what he is writing. He takes a moment to rest, sits back and stretches. I glance up, our eyes meet. How silly am I being!

so as you can tell, I have not blogged in quite some time. This is due to the inevitable fact that summer "vacation" has started and is almost half over. Being waist deep in summer "break" is the root of my insanity at the present moment but there are several other factors to keep in mind. Factor number one- I am working 2 jobs and work on average 10-12 hours a day. Factor number 2- my ever increasing need to break away and rebel is conflicting with my families need to stifle my freedom. Factor number three- I have 4 online classes that are substantially more difficult to keep up with than I had thought they would be. Factor number four- The family vacation is two weeks away and it is really killing me that I have to put up with this for two more weeks. Number five- I keep injuring myself at work, although unintentional it is inconvenient to have massive burns all over ones arms. Six- Lack of time to ride my horse. Seven- Peru. Eight- bright blue leggings. So you can see that my life, as current, is exceedingly stressful and busy. I plan on writing tonight because I have this amazing story idea in the back of my head (or rather somewhere in the right front above my ear) and I NEED to write it down. One positive of this summer is that I have started reading again. I didn't read a lot in college because of the lack of an adequate fiction section. I now read, on average, 3 to four large books a week (large being around 400 to 500 pages.) Another positive is my taste in music. I am unsure a present where it is going but I will let you know when it reaches a concrete genre placement. until next time...
