And I haven't done a whole lot that I set out to accomplish. I did have a relatively nice long break from classes, but I still feel burned out now that I'm back in them. I just don't think cumulatively I've had enough time off to rejuvenate my brain on the creativity side. There is so much I want and need to do for when I graduate, that my brain spins out of control over it and I end up doing nothing. LoL. I hope to get out of that pattern by the holidays since I'll only have one more term after them... but I guess if not, when I'm done school, I can refocus my energy on doing my portfolio etc., and getting a web page design up and running (with the help of good friends).

How do you stay creative when you have to be pretty much non-stop? How do you refuel your brain? It's tough when living in a cultural wasteland and far removed from social interaction... I like to recharge by getting outdoors and doing hikes, biking, or swimming, but sometimes that isn't possible. I also of course like plays, movies, and art museums, but two of the 3 don't really exist out here.

Anyway.. that's life for me right now. Trying to plug away and stay the course until I'm done in February. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but man, I wish I had a break now.

Happy summer to those off and enjoying it!
