updaaaaaate!
Was strangely down last week, were it not terribly evident by my last post... life is good though, really. Choosing to be happy has a miraculous effect on one's level of happiness, curious as that may seem. Always a skeptic, I think, well, isn't that choosing to be ignorant? If things bother you, it's probably for a reason and there's no reason you should try to make yourself feel something you don't... I could wax philosophical all night, but really the bottom line is that if you don't make an effort to be happy you'll let shit bog you down that really isn't worth it. Life's messy at times; it's all too easy to seek out that which is a pain in thine ass and let it bother you. But I can find confidence and challenge in choosing to love life regardless of what it throws at me. That's what I learned awhile back in the face of the hardest battle I've ever fought and won; that's what I need to keep with me always.
Whew. Rambletastic. Life is good otherwise. Learning that there's such thing as a happy medium; things don't need to be either supercoolawesome or craptastic. More often than not, they're somewhere on a continuum of sorts (I hate words with the double 'u' combination... they always make me feel like I'm spelling something wrong, when in reality I would never use that combination if I didn't have to). Not everything needs to have such drastic polarity... not my opinions, not my moods, and certainly not my life. fdjsajflsaf;sd. Moving on!
I'm in grad school (one class... badassery abounds) and doing rather well. In my experience so far, grad school isn't any harder than undergrad... you just need to be old and possess a slightly more illustrious piece of paper to do it. Despite the fact that the content of an entire semester is crammed into 9 class sessions that last 3 and a half hours apiece, I'm actually kind of enjoying this. I feared it'd be murder on my attention span, but it's actually pretty interesting. Nothing like crazy people to keep my mind engaged. :) I tend to feel kind of dumb when my brain isn't being challenged, since that's kind of all it's known my entire life... so strange as it may seem, being out of school January through May was odd for me.
I'm still living with my mom, still hearting Gregory-pants... it's probably a good thing he's forgotten this thing exists or he'd definitely reproach the use of the aforementioned nickname. :P He's wonderful... it's been great seeing each other more often the past few months and getting to live life as a regular couple rather than a long-distance one. I still don't take his presence for granted (hell, the kid's on a trip for the weekend and I already miss him... soy un perdedor) but it's been a year and a half already, an eternity for me... and all I can say is I'm excited for whatever the future may hold. He makes me want to be a better me, and I think that's just pretty freakin' great.
OK, that's me... what have you crazy cats been up to? Comment away! I miss and love you all!
