What's a boy to do? (Looking for Inspiration)

When college comes to an end, the 17+ hour days abruptly come to a halt. When the work day is over, there is no going home to hours of required reading and studying and homeworking, and, frankly, it has left me feeling rather disjointed. I have realized that I am relatively lacking in the ol' friend department these days. I have never had a lot of friends here in Portland, and my three month sabbatical from socializing has left many of the friendships I do have seeming strained. Anyone who knows me knows that I am happiest when every teensy tiny nook and cranny of my schedule is filled with something to do, so now that I don't have that anymore I am trying to figure out who I am and what exactly it is that I want to do with my time. Right now, I have been spending way too much time fiddling around on the internet and playing my new Wii, but it really leaves me feeling hollow. I have tried to sit down and paint or draw or write, but I am completely lacking in inspiration.

Now that it's summer, I want to start going camping and hiking and living life to its fullest because these really are the best days of our lives, and I don't intend to spending them floating around feeling dead inside.

Hopefully I can find something out there to inspire me.
