it's never easy, but we'll make it through

[hope_by_summer]

well, now that i have a moment - its been much too long since ive written in here and now that i've been at smith long enough to establish myself - i've decided to turn back to lj.

i'm really happy here. this is the best i've ever felt in my life.
i get more sleep than i think i ever have
i work out nearly every day
my classes are challenging but not impossible - im mentally stimulated
my mental state is clear and i don't know what i want to do, but i just keep an open mind, take classes i want to take, and i know sooner or later it will lead me to something i want to do
i feel levelheaded and balanced - mentally, physically, emotionally

so don't get me wrong, i really truly miss home and i think about it everyday. but its not interfering with my life here. i've got great friends in my house - all the girls are wonderful.

i'm busy all the time, but not in an overwhelming way. my days are pretty much packed, and i like it.

i just feel good, happy, balanced. it's a really great feeling. i'm not responsible for anyone but myself and i'm not constantly worried about everyone and everything i used to worry about constantly.

ah but i can't wait to come home in november.
