Wow, I’m back from vacation. \u00a0Not “back” as in back in Utah, but “back” as in no longer at the cape. \u00a0We drove home to Western Massachusetts this evening and arrived just a couple hours ago.<\/p>\nWow, I’m back from vacation. \u00a0Not “back” as in back in Utah, but “back” as in no longer at the cape. \u00a0We drove home to Western Massachusetts this evening and arrived just a couple hours ago.<\/p>\n
Family vacation this year was lots of fun! \u00a0It was me, mom and pop, and Sarah and Mykle at a local cottage for about a week. \u00a0We went to Nauset Light Beach<\/a>, Coast Guard Beach<\/a>, Race Point Beach<\/a>, Provincetown<\/a>, Hyannis<\/a>, Moby Dick’s<\/a> restaurant, the Cape Cod Natural History Museum<\/a>, and, of course, good old Sheep Pond<\/a> in Brewster (Brew-stah). \u00a0When we weren’t out and about, we were either watching movies or playing Hearts and\u00a0Shanghai<\/a>, the Vasicek family card game of choice.<\/p>\n It was a lot of fun to hang out with the family at Cape Cod, but after a week I’m ready to head back into life as usual. \u00a0My back is fried, I’ve had enough Shanghai to make me sick (especially considering how CRAZY our family games can get!), and I’m looking forward to no longer smelling like salt water or sun tan lotion.<\/p>\n I’m also looking forward to writing again. \u00a0I kept up the writing at the cape–about 1k to 2k each day, mostly in the evening–but man, stuff like moving and vacations and travel and having fun tends to throw out your daily routine. \u00a0I haven’t had one for the last week and a half, and I want to get back to something a little more stable (not to mention productive).<\/p>\n Alas, the summer is just about over. \u00a0I’ll be flying back to Utah on Tuesday, moving all my stuff into my new apartment on Wednesday (Ben Crowder<\/a> is going to be my roommate–I think it’s going to be a fun and interesting semester!), helping a friend move her stuff out of storage on Saturday, and doing other get-ready-for-school things on the other days, including filling out the FAFSA, getting parking stickers, books, figuring out what’s going on with my double-major capstone, and blah blah blah other boring annoying stuff.<\/p>\n Gah! \u00a0Why can’t I just write all day, every day? \u00a0Looks like those days are over…<sob>.<\/p>\n Someday, inshallah, I’ll make that dream a reality. \u00a0Someday soon, inshallah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, I’m back from vacation. \u00a0Not “back” as in back in Utah, but “back” as in no longer at the cape. \u00a0We drove home to Western Massachusetts this evening and arrived just a couple hours ago.
