Just another WordPress.com weblog

First of all, I would like to notify you that the English 1101 blogs are officially over. I am not going to even pretend that I am not happy. As much as I’m sure you all loved reading about copyright infringement, this blog will once again focus on the mundane daily adventures of Alexis. (The important stuff… You know.)

I actually made a picture blog. I’m doing “Project 365″, which means I’ll be taking a picture every single day for a year. Although the idea is to write a little something when I post the picture, I get a bit lazy and only write when I’m feeling extra inspired. Today, I was feeling extra inspired. [www.alexistakespictures.blogspot.com] I was honestly a little worried that taking a picture every day would feel like so much of an annoying obligation, but I love it. I like that I have to look for inspiration in daily, boring things. It’s challenging and eye-opening.

My summer semester just ended [:(] and those 5 weeks were the best of my life. They really were. As much as I complained about walking to class under the Atlanta sun, I loved every single minute of it. I think what made my summer so great was honestly the people. The people you are with are so much more important than where you are or what you are doing. I met so many new, amazing people. It’s absolutely crazy to meet so many people at once, though. It amazes me every day how different everyone is from each other. We are all completely different, quirky people. I love the process of learning these quirky things about people; sometimes I don’t exactly love everybody’s quirks, but trying to see the world through their eyes, even just for a second, is exhilarating. Think about it: everyone’s individual reality is completely formed around them. No matter how selfless we like to think we are, 99% of the decisions we make are individually motivated. We see the world through our eyes, even if we try not to. And to throw all of us, all of these people and all of their realities together.. it is crazy. Lately, I’ve been wishing I could just sit back and watch  people interact all day. Just sit back and watch the world go by. It’s so interesting.

I’m home for 10 days – I’m going to try to make the best of them. (i.e. NOT sleep until 3 p.m. and eat Chick-fil-A on a daily basis) Hopefully the next 10 days will be filled with sunshine and chlorine. Also, I need to read some books! Hoorayyyy.

That is all for tonight, non-existent readers.
