The Whirlwind

After some travels and excitement (more like whirlwind) I find myself bored. Now that life is back to "normal." I just got back from a week in California and found it could be described as the vacation...that wasn't. I highly enjoyed body surfing however, and shopping. Sometimes it is very hard to be in California because people seem to be materially driven. One man we know spent $ 400,000 just on one car. Unfortunately for him, the only success he seems to have is in financial areas. It was good to spend time with family, and my sister's boyfriend. Family truly is very important. Back to the "normal" part of my life...I finished a bunch of laundry today, did some banking, worked on a creative project and went out for coffee/movie with friends. Why do whirlwind seem like so much more fun? They contain adventures, stories and sadly, do not last very long. Perhaps being stuck in a whirlwind would be tiring after awhile. After completing my first year at university, I have decided that many people are living lives they do not love - having careers they are not truly interested in, and having little personal satisfaction. Hopefully more people will realize that they can have a career and a life they love.
This summer I intend to train to run long distance, read lots of books, save some money, and have a nice social life. Nothing too exciting (not anything like a whirlwind). The key is to enjoy both the whirlwind and the windless days.

Cheers,
Amy
