Summer 2023; A Look Inside my Daily Life

We're two months into our summer break which means we've got a little bit over a month left. When I go home over the summer it always feels that on one hand it feels like I've been home for a lot longer, but on the other hand it always goes by extremely fast.

Usually over summers I had to train to stay in shape for the upcoming season. This summer however, I don't have to do that which is why I wrote a training plan to still go to the gym and be active but not necessarily stay in swimming shape. As well as going to workout I have been working a summer job to earn some extra cash. This year I work at a place called "Kempervennen" where I work in their indoor pool as a lifeguard. Summer is also always a good time to catch up with friends at home; as well as being around my family and enjoying time together in those three months that I'm home.

My days this summer have been quite the same. I go to the gym, go to work, and enjoy some time off. This summer I didn't want to work too much so I could also actually enjoy summer and catch up on reading and other things. I was able to spend some time with friends whom I haven't seen in a while. It's always nice seeing them after such a long time of being away. Something else it that in less than a month my parents and I will be going on vacation which I'm very looking forward to. After our vacation it'll be two more weeks before I'm headed back to the United States for my last year of the Criminal Justice Masters.

This summer overall has been relaxing and productive. Even though I always enjoy summers. I am looking forward to getting back to work and continuing my education. I'm looking forward to the rest of summer and most definitely to what's to come in the future!
