I work at a fast food restaurant and our ice cream is the best. I will be going to college next year, so I am working to save up. I will be studying neuroscience in college. I volunteer at a research lab now. I am an Eagle Scout. I have dark hair and hazel eyes. I live by the Daytona Beach. I like to fish and swim. I like to be within walking distance of the water. I have been wanting to get a smart car. I don't want to have to wait to charge my car before going places. I very much enjoy visiting the ocean but prefer it when there are few to no people there. I swam fairly far out into the ocean during my most recent trip to the beach. I was once pulled under the water during a riptide while swimming in the ocean. The incident upset me but I have put that behind me even though I still remember it. I love the ocean enough that I was able to go back to it after getting caught in a rip tide. I used meditation with ocean sounds to help overcome that experience. I slowly returned to swimming in the ocean, I played it safe at first and gradually swam out further. I swam out farther today to get away from the groups of people. I was able to associate the ocean with calming effects by taking it slow.
I lived in Alaska and I don't like the cold. I am hoping to retire on a beach soon. My parents are from the north, I have never done scouting. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I have a Smart Car. I have had it for five years or so. My car helps me save up for retirement. I mostly use my smart car to get around town. I'd like to retire to Hawaii but I'd have to save up more for that. I'd prefer to retire to a place a little quieter. I once got caught in a riptide during a visit to the beach and was upset by the incident and am now cautious about the ocean. I hope to one day return to the ocean and go swimming again. I occasionally play ocean sounds through a white noise app on my phone.
Have you made any progress with going back to swimming in the ocean? You know, not yet. I have been swimming in my community pool, though. It's a nice way to cool off during the hot summer months. That's totally understandable. My rip tide experience scared me to pieces but I'm glad to be mostly past it now. Pools are good. Still good exercise, right? Absolutely, that and my nightly walks around the neighborhood. I'm not much into working out, but I like staying active. Keeps me limber as I get older. Yeah that makes sense. It must be nice and peaceful when you walk at night. I'd love to walk after work but honestly I'm just tired after dealing with customers. I worked at a fast food joint back when I was in high school, many years ago. I remember how tired you get after being on your feet all day... That, and always smelling like french fries. Totally! My dog loves me when I get home because of the fry smell. Today the milkshake machine broke again. So annoying because people are NOT nice when you tell them it's out. I can only imagine! I remember one time our fryer broke and we couldn't make any burgers for the day - now that was a tough time. I'm so glad to be working in an office now. Oh yikes, that would be a disaster. I don't even want to think about it. I can't wait to go to college! Hopefully I won't have to have a job while I'm there. Have you decided what school you're going to, or what you're going to study? You've got some big choices to make! I'm not sure where I'm going but I know I want to study neuroscience. That's a great major choice. Are you thinking of being a doctor, or are you thinking more of a scientist?
