Hey kids, I'm just gunna slide in here between all the usual whining and bitching and bring a little joy to the friends page. I'm back in school and life is starting to take on a little rhythm again. After Lee and I broke up I noticed the amount of couplage in our group. There are very few single kids chillin' about with us. Not that I mind being single, in fact I am exuberant about it, I'm definitely lovin' the freedom and not lookin to put those shackles back on anytime soon. It just kinda peeved me that I was being excluded from things due to my lack of a significant other (actually when i was with Lee i was excluded from things because of my significant other [not that he was very signicificant]) so ya I was feelin a little bummed but now that school is my significant other my time is just as full as everyone else's and i'm pretty happy about it. Anyone who knows me knows im always busy and thats pretty much the way i like it. In the summer i was busy with work but I prefer to be busy with things that add to my future such as building strong friendships and gaining knowledge and now that i'm back to that I can feel my old constant chipperness returning. It helps that I love all the classes i'm taking except maybe one but I'm finding myself enthusiastic about getting my work done ahead of time and keeping up with the readings, check back with me mid-october and i probably won't feel as on top of everything but i'm confidant i won't let things build up like they did last year. Having shed all the emotional issues i was dealing with at that time I now have the mental energy to deal with everything else. So ya although I can see things getting hectic in the months to come i'm actually excited to dig into the school year and actually get something out of my classes to hopefully finish up my degree on a positive note. The only thing i see threatening my future happiness is my lack of a decision about what to do next year. I'm really itching to get out and travel again before I go to teachers college so I'm going to look into programs where I can go teach English for a year. Even just escaping for a few months to go do charitable work in another country would be cool. That way I'll be able to look at the future with a new perspective. My biggest fear is that I'll get stuck in Hamilton for my whole life. That would be the safe path but also the most creatively destructive for me since i thrive on the idea that an adventurous something exists for me out there to find. Staying here would be safe and boring and puke. Hopefully my optimistic ramblings haven't sickened you too much and you're able to carry on your day without a lingering feeling of nausea but i'm about to be late for class so I'd better run.
