Maintain a Frame of Mind...
...to See the Big Picture
I had the best weekend I've had in a long, long time. I can't even remember the last time I was this happy.
Holly and Chris Peters came out Thursday night and we watched shoot 'em up, which was really well acted and produced but definitely required a level of suspension of disbelief I thought not possible. On Friday I had two classes, saw some fusion reactor labs on campus, and started spring break. When I came home Holly and Nicole were constructing a fort in our living room out of blankets and zip ties. Holly and I went and saw Alice in Wonderland, which was surprisingly good for a Tim Burton movie and more like a sequel to the cartoon. The design elements and The Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat were especially well done and awesome. Then we hung out in the fort and played Mario. It turns out Holly is really really (really) bad at first person shooters. Later our neighbors came down and we all got drunk in the fort and played circle of death and had a great time. And then we tried to watch Where the Wild Things Are but by then it was 3 am and there was no way to stay awake. The next day Holly and I basically just lounged around. I made waffles and took the fort down because Walt didn't like having to climb over a couch/step on people every time he left his room. So I put it up in my room around my bed and I love what it's done for my room because I hate my wall scrolls and how bare the whole thing normally feels. Holly went back to Oshkosh despite my best attempts to make her stay and I basically wasted the rest of the day, but in a good way. It is spring break after all. Then I drank with David LP, Dan, and Walt and got a Burrito Drive burrito for free thanks to Nicole. Mmmm, it was so delicious. And I haven't really done anything today and I'm surprisingly okay with that. Sleeping in is so awesome. I love spring break. I was so ready for it.
But anyways, I'm just in a really good place right now. It feels like things are finally how they're supposed to be after such a long stretch of doubting and regret. I'm genuinely happy and it's been far too long since I've looked at the world through that lens. I'm expecting good things of the future.
