There are always going to be things headed in directions I wish I could put a spin on, but all of the important aspects of my life are aligning into a path that is paramount.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the college experience; all of these new beginnings make me feel unstoppable. My digital lab was cancelled yesterday which left me free of classes, and I still spent five hours in studio working on an achromatic study. I've been a procrastinator all my life, and for the first time I am so excited about the things I need to get done that it isn't about having to get it done anymore. I'm alive and alert in my studios; even if the discussion being held is on how to mix gouache it seems like the most interesting thing I've ever heard. The contrast of the classes for my major and my other freshman year required classes is unbelievable; I'll sit through sociology or prob & stat and I'm just like I always have been- bored and repeatedly reminding myself that it's something I have to do. I couldn't be more grateful for that difference though; it's the biggest reminder that I'm in the right place. Feeling this way after all of the time I've spent just getting myself through things so I could get to the next point-it's intoxicating.
I'm with someone who is currently residing over six-hundred miles away, and I couldn't be happier. Despite how much I want him here and all of the hardship that's an unavoidable component of long-distance relationships, it feels right and (watch out: cheesiness ahead) he makes me feel complete. He puts the biggest smile on my face through a telephone line, and that's worth the months inbetween the days I have him here with me.
I have the best of friends, although a few of them are much too far away. I don't know what I would do without them. And there are so many new faces I'm meeting and have yet to meet. Old and new: they're both amazing.
I'm just happy. That's my update.
