Dear Diary,

Man, I've been slacking big time on these entries. My bad everyone, hate to disappoint, and all that. Remember when I said now that summer’s on I’ll be able to get you guys some more content? Haha. Guess not. But here I am, with an extra special entry on this particularly manic Monday.

If you’re curious as to how I’ve been spending my summer so far, I don’t have much to satisfy your curiosity. I’m mostly just hanging out with myself, getting some much needed time to binge watch The X Files and think about leaving my house. This weekend, though, I worked three eight-hour shifts, so I have really no reason to feel guilty about it. At least not in my book. While we’re on the topic, I guess I should explain my job. I work at a state park near my hometown. At the moment I’m stationed on the campground, which means I have to help people reserve campsites, sell them recreation passes or ice or firewood, clean up around the area, and basically just find a way to occupy my time for 8 hours a day. I like it for the most part. Sometimes it’s super slow and I’m just sitting around waiting for someone to come by the campground office or waiting for an excuse to drive around on the little cart we have. Other times I really enjoy just sitting and letting time go by. Either way, it’s getting me some money—which makes it all worth it in the end, right?

Anyway, today was a rest day for the most part. I woke up pretty early, started my day very slowly, eventually was a little productive which felt good. I also trimmed my bangs and then freaked out because I thought they looked really bad and then realized they look fine. Oh, and something exciting (for pretty much me only)! I watched The X Files movie! It takes place between seasons 5 and 6, which I remembered right as I finished season 5 this morning. The movie was so good. I won’t say much because I’ll either bore you out of your mind or spoil it for you, and either way that is disadvantageous for me. Is that a word? Disadvantageous? You all know that I mean. But yeah, the movie, just know that I really liked it. I have such a love for when a beloved TV show randomly produces a movie, especially when the movie just feels like a 2-hour-long episode of the show. That is seriously awesome and charmingly unnecessary.

To be honest with everyone, I don’t really have much else to share. Tomorrow I should try to do something. I was thinking of going to the library or maybe the mall. I’ll keep everyone updated of course. That probably sounds like an empty promise after my fortuitous hiatus, but I’m trying my best here.

Peace out,

Sophie
