Like a thunderstorm on a sultry West Texas afternoon, Greek arrived, unleashed its fury, and stopped as suddenly as its beginning. Those of us who weathered the storm are now sitting on the porch, staring at the blue sky, scratching our heads and marveling at the deluge that was Greek camp.
As soon as the “rain” subsided, many of my friends scattered to the four corners of the earth, just as cockroaches scatter when you turn the light on in the kitchen. With no Greek paradigms to memorize (or in my case, ignore) and no other school work looming in the distance, life seems a bit vacant. Free time, of course, is no curse, but with so many of my brethern and sistern gone, life is dull. In an attempt to fill this new void in my life, I utilized the following time wasters:
Reading sections from the Book of Common Worship
Reading the Directory for Worship in the Book of Order (for you non-Presbyterians, that's part of the constitution for the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A)
Updating my address book
Learning how to mail merge said address book into mailing labels
Cleaning my dorm room
Dropping off more possessions at the Goodwill in an attempt to further simplify my life
Checking everybody’s blogs
Exciting stuff, no?
…sigh…at least on Monday, I leave with my family for the Texas coast. Even though, according to SOME people, the Texas Gulf Coast is but a dim lightbulb compared to the sparkling diadem that is the Pacific Ocean, I enjoy the beach, regardless of quality, and anxiously await my vacation.

Have fun on your vacation. I'll let you know if anything thrilling happens here in Austin while you are gone, but my guess is that the answer is no. Oh well. I guess six weeks of Greek is enough excitement for one summer... right?
