Transition and Transformation II

I've been busy lately- far busier than I would have guessed a week ago when everything seemed to be moving so slow. The exercise and social activity has kept me in good spirits, yet I am apprehensive of the lull that must inevitably follow. Even during the last few hectic days there have been moments when I sensed that all the flurry of activity surrounding me was masking a decline in the more normal forms of my social interaction- Facebook and MSN have been dead for some time now, as people move away or get into the summer routine. When my social schedule dries up- as it will shortly- without work, and without the usual interaction that comes with school, I fear that a sort of gloomy boredom may become my new norm. Among the solutions offered to this problem, I have been told that I should find a woman. I admit that I would love that sort of companionship, but there is no reason to think that it will simply fall out of the sky. In the meantime, I think I shall construct some sort of routine. My bus pass will activate on Friday, meaning that I can essentially tour the city at whim, should I have nothing better to do. My spending needs to be reigned in, but there's still a lot I could do for cheap or free. I could also stand to devote more time to reading or practicing my German. Trouble is, once the summer comes, the leisure activities that are so relaxing during the school year seem far more mundane. I'm sure I'll figure something out though, and once mid-May rolls around I'll be back at work full-time anyways. Yee-haw.
