While I certainly have had my gripes and struggles over the past few weeks I am very glad I am here now and doing what I am doing. About an hour ago I found out that I had 15 pages of reading due for my 8:30 tomorrow and that I need to submit something else for that class. Next thing I knew I found myself fully absorbed and thoroughly enjoying the reading and feeling appreciative of the assignment as it is something I would want to read but would most likely never actually get to. Less than an hour after finding the assignment I was complete and had enjoyed it and shared some of my excitement with a few of my classmates and friends (Marek and Molly).
Lots to do: reading for Friday from Plato, MT for Jim before 8:25 tomorrow morning, sleep, listen to myself, Slow Food Club form (fill out, email to Marek, hear back from Marek, and print) before 8:25 tomorrow and get Jim to sign, prep for Maia's 10-2 class in the woods, and more. My life is full and my life is good.
I connected with people that aren't in my Guilford world today, specifically James and Jim from England (different people with coincidental names), that was good. I connected without getting too sad about getting pulled back into wanting to relive the dream of my past. Good to keep in touch. It feels real and healthy to include while at college.
Just enough distraction to keep me focused! A quote of someone walking into Shore and having a brief exchange of words with me about my study spot. (On the front porch of Shore from 8 PM - midnight ish.
When I am good to the universe it is good to me. Just as I was starting to wind down and wonder where my happiness went and begin to feel tired while still having stuff to do a friend and a guitar joined me on the patio. With all of its ups and downs, life is good.
