Summer Megan

I really could get used to "Summertime Megan." This would be the opposite personality of "Schooltime Megan." I've been out of school almost 3 weeks and although I may not have as much to show for my time as I normally do, I'm becoming more and more okay with that. Let's do a little compare and contrast (if I were at school I would draw a Venn diagram to illustrate my point) between these two different megans. (no I really don't think I have multiple personalities or anything like that...at least last time i checked...)

  • Summer Megan can stay up past midnight on a week night, not as much of a problem as Schooltime Megan. School Megan reaches her expiration time around 8:30 or 9:00.
  • Summer Megan gets to read about 4 books at a time. Schooltime Megan reads one or maybe two at a time if I'm lucky.
  • Summer Megan takes occasional naps.
  • Summer Megan can drink coffee on the deck, read God's work, journal as much as I want, and work out in the mornings which is how I love to start my day anyway. Schooltime Megan has to get up at 5 to get this accomplished (well, the first 2 things at least).
  • Summer Megan can start a movie after 9pm on a weeknight and not fall asleep
  • Summer Megan is more of a facebook/internet junkie.
  • Summer Megan folds her laundry whereas school Megan usually leaves it in the basket for a week.
  • Summer Megan sees people more often and feels like she has friends:)
  • Summer Megan gets to see Bob for a whole day at a time!
  • Summer Megan has time to "smell the roses," work on wedding stuff, and play with the cat.
I'm reminded of "unto everything there is a season..." I guess i wouldn't appreciate my summer lifestyle as much if I didn't have the school one to compare it to.

Grace, peace, and coca-cola
