I’ve been loving Mondays. Mondays over summer break mean that I have a whole week ahead of me to do awesome things. Fridays over summer break mean, oh gosh, we’re getting closer to the end of summer break, and I am not ready for that yet! Mondays during the school year meant that I had a whole week I needed to get through. Fridays during the school year meant freedom at last. Once school starts again, I hope that I’m able to keep up my summer attitude. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves; there’s still summer break ahead of us! In other news, I’ve finished Seasons 1-5 of Downton Abbey and I need to figure out how to obtain Season 6.

I’m starting to warm up to my summer apartment. The bathroom is still a mess, but everything else isn’t too bad. The living room is a little empty, which is only emphasized by the floor-to-ceiling sliding door/window to the balcony, but I kind of like the empty space. It’s just begging for a night of sitting on the ground eating pizza even though I have a perfectly good dining table the next room over. Also, the acoustics are great, and how magical is it to strum away on the guitar right before a huge window in an apartment I have all to myself? This week has been low key.

Follow me on Spotify! Right now I have four playlists, though they are a bit bare at the moment, so forgive me: mellow/chillstep, upbeat/mainstream, background, unsorted. It’s taken me awhile to jump onto the bandwagon because I didn’t get how to use it and I still don’t really, but I’ve been making myself use it instead of 8tracks or Pandora like I usually do, so hopefully I’ll catch on. Spotify isn’t the most user-friendly platform and connectivity can sometimes be spotty (or maybe that’s just me) and if I have to listen to another Febreze ad I think I’m going to stab something, but people use it and I like listening to music other people discover. Music makes me happy, and finding new music makes me happier, which is why I usually add a “currently listening to” at the end of my happy lists. What have you been listening to?
