summer: day 2

So, Summer vacation is upon us.
A recap:
Thursday Sarah and I moved all my stuff out of my dorm room (a whole school year, already?!) and then proceeded to go back to my house to make some delicious food and watch a couple movies. She slept over and we made breakfast and then she went to work at Ian's. I proceeded to go home and schlep my relatives back to my house, after which they all left and went to the Dells for the weekend. I went out to a party with Sarah Friday night, at which I saw an old flame who I didn't know would be there. I was deceived. Totally not cool. And he didn't get any more attractive.
After that I went back to my house and fell asleep pretty much upon hitting the pillow. A short night. I was awoken by my eleven o'clock pm alarm, which I promptly shut off and went back to sleep. This morning I was greeted harshly by the ring of my alarm to get up to go to Woodman's, a 9-6 shift. 9 hours of pure hell--it was slow and so amazingly boring. It seems as if as long as I'm doing something, the pains are bearable and I can forget about how menial the job is, but if there's nothing around to do and no way to entertain myself, my mind wanders to my own little self pity party.
After work, I went home to pack to go the Wisconsin Dells, which is where I am now, with Shaina (the graduate!!), Jerry, Grandma, Aunt Debbie and my Dad. It's like a circus. I've extracted myself from the situation for the most part, but the occasional run in with dysfunction is enough to leave anyone sad and wishing for normalcy.

So, that's my summer so far in a nutshell...a wash for the past couple days. I hope things look up and I can manage to give myself an attitude adjustment. I wish I wasn't so difficult all the time, but sometimes I feel as though I can't help it.
Also: any thoughts on expiration dates for relationships? In general or with specifics welcome.
Just a topic that I've been thinking about. No need for further discussion if no interest exists.
