As I mentioned in my last weekly recap, I’m not prepared for summer to end! It feels like the season only just started, yet several of my coworkers have kids going back to school and I’ve already seen Halloween décor in stores. I have to admit, the lack of summer vacation has been making me feel a little down the last few weeks… I’m having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I don’t get any more school-related summer breaks! Even last year, I finished my study abroad semester in May and had two months off before starting my job. The weekends this summer just feel too short, and I long for those lazy summer days around the house and outside in the yard… I don’t want to waste my vacation days doing nothing at home, but boy, it doesn’t feel much like summer without that lounging. Thankfully, I have a mini-getaway this weekend that I’m so looking forward to! Continue reading “July 2023 Month in Review”

Blog, what blog? I’m getting to my monthly recap a little later than I was hoping, but I’m sure it comes as no surprise considering I’ve really been slacking in the blogging department lately… Part of the reason I’ve been so MIA is because of my stupid phone camera! I’ve mentioned a few times that it’s been having trouble focusing lately and has just gotten worse and worse, even after doing a factory reset. It’s so frustrating trying to get photos I like, so I’ve almost stopped doing photoshoots altogether… I took my phone into a shop today and they ordered a new camera for it—hopefully that does the trick. Otherwise, it’s a motherboard issue and I’ll have to get a new phone (thankfully my warranty doesn’t end until July 31—I haven’t even had the phone a year yet, UGH!). Fingers crossed I can get back to my regular photos and blog posts soon. Continue reading “June 2023 Month in Review”
For once I can say a month went by slowly… It’s hard to believe that the Denver Mini Derby and my trip to Seattle were only a few weeks ago! I’m so excited for it to start feeling like summer, but I have to admit it’s a little weird to not have a summer vacation for the first time. I used to sit down at the beginning of every summer break and make a list of all the activities I wanted to do and goals I wanted to accomplish while school was out. But then, inevitably, I would spend most of the break doing nothing… and feeling rather content about it. Sigh, those were the days… I still made a list of fun summer activities this year, I’ll just have to work a little harder to cram them into the weekends! Continue reading “May 2023 Month in Review”
