So I went 2-2 on my first Uneducated Guesses in the gambling world. I knew the Blazers were going to win, but I thought the Raptors were going to dominate the Sixers and they needed a miracle from Kawhi to move onto the Eastern Conference Finals. The under hit in both games, I should’ve known that things were going to tighten up in a Game 7. Oh well. We’ll get them next time.

This is the worst time of the night for me. I don’t have to wake up early tomorrow morning, but I cannot go to sleep yet. I’m just killing time until I’m ready to sleep. It’s a weird spot to be in. This is where I don’t know how to be an adult.

I want to read books. I feel like reading a book is a great way to exercise the mind. Right now, I just listen to podcasts and scroll my phone all day. Pretty sure my brain is mush. I read about eight chapters of a book in the fall and I haven’t opened it since. It’s such a weird concept to re-adjust to, this idea of reading for pleasure. I’ve spent the first 23 years of my life reading for a grade. I think I still need to take notes though because otherwise I would never retain any of the information.

Tomorrow begins my real summer. I’ve dubbed it the summer of Tommy. I’m going to read, write, walk, generally make myself a better person. Let’s go.
