Reaffirmed... doing well!
This was a shaky week in terms of ups and downs. Nothing overly serious on either side, just fairly rigid 'now is good' and 'now is not good'. It makes one introspective.
I'm feeling pretty awesome right now, though. My work is going really well, I'm loving my subject of study (Chemical Education) and find myself intrigued about the subject all over again! I'm doing some math again (yes! I didn't realize how much I would msis it!) and my literature review is going at an amazing pace.
I get to have a night out with my family this weekend which I'm very pumped about, and I have scheduled visits from my cousins in the coming weeks!
I think my roommate is awesome, I enjoy hanging out with the few in Madison I've kept in touch with (I have sort of dropped from the social scene in the last year of intense work), but it's good to have some people who force your outside yourself sometimes.
I'm taking a Salsa dancing class with people from church, and that is a lot of fun, actually! Learning new things, getting out there and meeting new people. It's like spring is beginning!
I've been struggling with some things about life lately, and have been feeling detached from my normal group of people who I turn to for a boost of joy. This accounted for some of my sadness lately, along with some deep self-analysis (I will ashamedly say that some of it was brought forth from 500 days of summer, the movie). There was something about the movie which just struck a severe sour chord with me.
But, in the past few days, thinking about Him, seeking that bedrock which has been there for me through hard times while I have watched others fall by the wayside, remembering where my roots dig... I have been blessed by reaching out for answers, and finding them in the most surprising places.
Life is changing. Love is enduring. Friendship is passion. Compassion is action. Moving forward.
Feeling good, folks. Feeling good.
