livejournal,
tomorrow i start my vacation. ten days away from east lansing. sunny california. san francisco, home to "weirdos and a-lotta bums." it should be really good. what i am most excited about is spending some quality time outside. reconnecting to this earth that lays beneath all the snow here in michigan. the only time i am outside is when i'm walking to class or walking home from class. it will be so great to be in the woods and exploring in the city. mm. i can't wait.
while i have always believed in the power of positive thought (and not the "i thought positively about getting $100 dollars and the next day i found $100 dollars on the ground!"), lately i've really been thinking about it and reconfirming my belief it in. i'm sure that this is annoying or seems naive to someone who doesn't have a lot to think positively about in life, but i guess i just think you need to find it. especially at this age. we are all too young to be labeled grumpy or cranky. and i get that it's all relative and sometimes you have a bad day and being allowed to complain and moan about it is completely legit with me. but, waking up, it should be positive. and it is clear to see your positive energy transmit to other people. and that feels really good. spread it around.
i think i really want to go to school in canada. it just seems like the right next step. i know it's still another year away and i'm sure that other things will arise and sound just as great. but, right now, right here, british columbia sounds like the best option. lately i've been picturing myself as a long-term academic person. maybe it's my lack of desire to go to an office, or do the same thing everyday, but learning and learning and researching for a long time sounds pretty cool. just aquiring more information and getting interested in new fields... expanding on what i know or starting something completely new. ah, well. we will see.
oh tomorrow can't come soon enough.
peace,
mollie
