I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before. Maybe I needed a night where I couldn't sleep. The problem that is before me is what to do when I graduate. Maybe I want to use my major, but maybe I don't. I'm not sure. But tonight I had somewhat of an epiphany.

My uncle is an editor for a paper in Wisconsin. Hmmm....can you you think of any way that could help me? I'm not talking about getting hired there...but maybe I could do a summer internship with them. Maybe helping out as a copy editor...or maybe working with my uncle.

Maybe I could do what my cousin did this summer and stay at their house. If I could get my hands on a laptop, their place is the perfect place to create. They live way out in the country, on a dirt road. I picture myself throwing the laptop in a backpack along with a lunch, and riding my bike out to some field and sitting under a tree all day, just typing. Daydreaming. Getting lost in my thoughts. And then working the night shift with my uncle.

It'd be just like I've always wanted. No distractions. It's probably a little early to do it now, and I should run it past my folks first....but I think that's a pretty good lead for something to do this summer.
