Tonight is my second night in Bellingham after being away for a month. It feels strange, odd, and familiar all in the same breath. I guess I'm glad to be back. I'm not really feeling anything about the matter: it just feels routine, nothing quite like the excitement that welcomed me at the beginning of fall quarter. My classes will be interesting, but something feels different- I can't quite place a name on it. Perhaps it is, as I mentioned earlier, the lack of excitement.
Being in Seattle over break was, in so little words, extremely fun, exciting, and entertaining. I did something every single night I was in town from baking sugar cookies to getting drunk out of my head (on a few occasions) to eating dinner with co-workers to dancing with an umbrella to just hanging out and having an all around good time. What more could I have asked for?
Sleeping in my own bed was heaven. Having a room to myself divine. Taking as long as I wanted in the shower a dream.
Interestingly, I came to several realizations over break that I think really were bringing me down emotionally. I feel like a new person. Not entirely- I just don't feel like anything is pulling me down anymore. The last quarter proved to be a rather emotional, highly dramatic quarter. I don't really want that again. Yes I want to continue to have fun, but I'm so done with all the other emotional crap.
I look forward to what positive developments will occur this quarter. I have a feeling it will be tough, and there may not be much time for any developments to really take place. But that's ok. The radio slot alone will be enough of an experience.
