hmm lately, my life has been beautiful. it's been a nice balance of everything. fun, studying, relaxation, productivity, and laziness. i've been content with things lately, and i've gotten a lot more confident within the past month in long beach. i've made a lot of good friends, and even some random friends with the workers at the dining hall. on a scale of 1 - 10, i rate my whole life on a 9 because i've been very fortunate for the things and people that i'm able to surround myself with everyday. i'm so very lucky, and so very grateful.
i joined the gym about 2 weeks ago and started running, and already i feel the effects of dining hall food not being as potent. man that food gets old! i'm trying to stay healthy (which includes more sleep) but that doesn't seem to be working.
time flies.
