Developing Usable Experiences

Summer goes so fast

Tonight was the last night of golf league. At a part-time student orientation lunch yesterday where I was invited to talk about being a part-time student, we were asked how we spent our summers. A couple other part-timers talked about how they did internships and such. I on the other hand said I spent my summer golfing and not thinking about school. It was mostly true. I did think about school quite a bit.

Hard to believe how fast 18 weeks of golf went. And here it is, the end. School starts next week and I may not golf again until next summer. Not that I’m a huge golfer or even that good of a golfer, it’s the comraderie and socializing that I appreciate. And the burgers at the clubhouse…and the draft beer. And the course staff. Like Mort, the head ranger, known for his unique demeanor. But he’s a kind soul that cares about the course and the players.

For this last summer weekend we’re heading north to visit our families. We haven’t seen them much this summer and look forward to some rubbing of elbows.

But yeah, summer isn’t really over yet. There will be a few days of blistering heat yet to remind us of global warming and all that. But once I’m in school and golf league is over, that’s pretty much the end of summer to me. From here on I consider it fall until snow comes. Then I get to fire up the snow thrower. That’s a good time.

School will fire up my brain and as a result, push me to write more. I’ve enjoyed the summer break. I’ve enjoyed watching my classmates get jobs and move out into the U.S. I suppose I’ll see that happen a couple more times before this school gig comes to a close.
