The long days of summer.

Most people look forward to summer as the time of the year when relaxation and hobby exploration reign. It signals the break in educational woes, the increase in sunny weather, and provides the optimal window for vacationing. It is for me, however, the time when my workload increases significantly and my regular life(if ever that could be a term used to describe it) fades into the background of a fairly intense ten or so week period. This period officially begins tomorrow.

I am somewhat prepared for it. My school workload is somewhat light at the moment since I only currently have two classes. It will be a definite challenge to adjust, however, since I am not quite on top of the proper sleeping schedule required to maximize my sanity. The transition, luckily enough, is not immediate and I will get a little more time to prepare for the upcoming onslaught.

The hiking season is upon me as well. I plan to hit a couple or so new spots this year and am always glad for the stress relief a good, solid hike provides. Nature is definitely one of the best remedies for the mad dash of a heavy-laden work fest.

Bring it on, summertime!
