12/10 I Think of the Greatest Ideas in the Time Right Before I Fall Asleep

And suddenly I have all of these awesome ideas but one less hour to sleep. It's a balanced tradeoff.

This is one of my favorite photos I took this summer.

Summertime

This summer, I have decided that I am going to go on lots of exploring adventures around my town and around Baltimore City to discovering places and things I haven't yet seen.

It all started when I was finishing up with classes for the semester and I was getting really upset about being away from school for 3 months (yes, I love school so much that I didn't want to leave). I was looking online at some of my favorite craft/art blogs, and I found a link to a list that someone wrote (How to Be an Explorer of the World) that suddenly inspired me. Right then, I started making a list of things I want to do (entitled: Things to Do While Home) and how I want to act during the month at home. The list kept growing every time I procrastinated studying for finals and writing papers.

A small snippet:

This will be #8 on the inspirational list: "Document your findings (field notes) in a variety of ways."
