it's not quite the right feeling
The semester's finally over, praise Jeebus. I'm at my mom's in Georgia with nothing I have to get done immediately other than getting a full night's sleep for the first time in weeks and eat three-ish square meals a day. I've still got worries. Stuff I need to take care of in the next few weeks, things to mull over. And the fever-pitch anxiety from the last few weeks hasn't worn off that much considering that it's all over. I just never had any sort of sense of release or catharsis or whatever. I guess it's not going to work that way. Maybe I'll just feel a little more relaxed a little bit at a time. Still, it's not just the stress. Sad things have been happening. One of my best friends moving away. Lots of people I care about struggling with difficult situations. And with the year ending I'm just thinking a lot about all the other tough times I've had to work through in 2006.
But it's good to see my mom, and to have a change of scenery for a while. Starting in just a minute here I am going to do a whole lot of sleeping. I'm going to do my best to relax while I'm here. And when I get back to Austin I'm hoping to catch up on spending time with people I didn't see enough of during the semester. Just thinking about getting some rest and seeing my friends makes all this other crap seem a lot more bearable.
I'll probably be back on here in the next day or two with some sappy thoughts about the end of the year and stuff. So if that kind of stuff makes you want to barf you should start bracing yourself now.
