I've been on LJ almost every day for two weeks, but I haven't felt settled enough to tell the world what's going on with me. And I realized that I haven't posted a real, honest update in more than 2 months.
So
School's been going well. I understand my classes for the most part, and I've actually been enjoying them, which is nice, though also kind of strange. All in all, I'm pretty happy with how things have been going academically for me this semester. Aside from that 48 on my physics test, I think my grades will be ok.
Socially, things are little more fluid. I still get to see Erynn every Thursday for dinner & Numb3rs, which always makes my week better, no matter what else has been going on. Elana & I hang out a lot too, which has been good. Lots of movies and TV and giggling. I don't see many other people on a regular basis, which kind of sucks. Ali & I don't have class together any more, and there's only been one Thirsty Thursday since we got back from winter break. Too much going on for everyone, I guess. But the next month or so is going to fly by, since I have something to do every weekend, and we'll be getting back to the TT. : )
I've been dealing with a lot of stuff on my own, too, which is part of the reason I haven't updated recently. Physically, I haven't really been feeling 100%, partly because of this ever-changing weather which aggravates my allergies. I think the rest is because I'm just really worn down, and I'm not taking care of myself as well as I should. Emotionally, I've been riding a roller coaster, and I'm never sure at any given moment if I'm going to burst into tears, start screaming, or giggle hysterically. Some of it is my own making, but there are some external forces that have been getting to me too. Having a week off helped, but I still need some time to settle all the storms that are ripping through me. It definitely helped to have nothing to do over break, except watch movies and read, and go to hockey games (although I'm a little hockey-ed out, more on that later). I needed some time and space to deal with everything in my own way, and I've definitely made progress. I'm pretty sure that I just had a couple of really intense, stressful weeks that got to me more than I thought.
Ok: hockey. I've spent just about every weekend from the weekend I got back from winter break to this past weekend watching one hockey game or another. I don't particularly mind, but it definitely will make it easier for me to say good-bye to the season. It was really fun to be at the state championship game with Dad on Sunday. It was some good bonding time, and the game was exciting, even if not as dramatic as last year's win. It makes me really proud to be from Clinton. : )
So my life is going fairly well at this point, and I don't have much else to say.
