Getting Into a Rhythm

It still doesn't feel like the beginning of the year has set in yet. I am busy to say the least. My schedule barely even allows me to get enough service points in a month let alone have a lot of free time.

I'm either in school or work until 4pm Monday, Thursday, and Friday and I'm at school until 7pm on Tuesday and Wednesdays without any real breaks in the middle of the day to get anything done. This is making getting my car to the shop in Greenville particularly annoying since they close at 6, and I'm going to have to find rides to and from places pretty much all week.

School is going well, though. There is going to be a lot of busy work and reading for me to do, but I generally enjoy my classes. PLANET is going to take up a lot of my time. I have phone calls and errands to run, and I may even be missing half of a week of school to attend SCHI which is a big trade-show conference down in Myrtle Beach. That sort of got tossed on my plate so we'll see if that happens - but I think it would be an enjoyable visit.

My weekends have been going well. Dinner with friends, spending time with the people I enjoy, and church this morning made for a pretty good weekend. :)

Snow Day

I'm happy to report that I squeaked in just before the snow started to fall.

However the six inches of fluffy white stuff on the ground this morning makes me REALLY not want to get my huge duffel bag and lug it up to my apartment! haha

I forgot about him!

My ipod was on shuffle last night on my way to hang out with my cousins and this song came on... I forgot how much I love love loved this song.

Really?!

Of course there would be wintry weather headed for the Western Carolinas on the day I'm coming back to school. I really don't want to deal with everyone else and driving through all that. I just want to get there all safe, sound, and cozy. I will drive the 18 hours through if I have to...

So let the few days of worrying commence. I'm not sure if I'll feel better until I step into my apartment.

Another Sleepless Night

Another night of not being able to fall asleep...

Though phone calls and texts help and are so soothing, I'm ready to get back to the busy schedule I build for myself at school. I'm ready to see friends and brothers who have been sorely missed over the last month or so, and I'm ready to feel connected with the normal world again.

Here I feel like everything spins around me. I have so many things I could be doing to remain productive and useful, but for some reason I just hole away into nothingness. I need my desk, my command center, and my people around me to feel at peace again. Maybe I can just move New England a little closer to South Carolina. That would make this all so much easier since I don't really want to give up either!

Not-So-Resolution

Well it's a New Year...

I'm not really sure how much that means to me, and I think I'm looking forward to just jumping into the new semester, new summer, and new adventures head on and without any unreachable or un-meaningful resolutions.

I just want to be me this year.

I'm going to do what I think will make me happy. I'm going to go on the adventures that I want to go on. I'm going to be the friend that I want to be, and I'm just going to continue through life in whatever manner I see fit at the time. I generally strive to become a better person so that isn't necessarily something that I need to set a goal to do.

I hope that this year continues in the fashion that it started in. I want to help my friends and be with people who care about me in a comfortable setting. Sitting around and simply existing with people who accept me for me seemed like a good start.

Who knows where I'll end up this summer, who I'll remain friends with, who I'll become better friends with, or what I'll have going on next January when I get catapulted out into the real world. As long as I can stay true to myself, and continue to love the people I'm surrounded by I think everything will turn out okay.
