hold on, one more time with feeling

two posts in one week?! it must be the end of the semester && i MUST be procrastinating. i've already decided i am not leaving the apartment today. i need to finish my 2nd presentation for tomorrow night. i have to finish && turn in research and i have to reread my statistics chapters so i'll be able to attempt the homework tomorrow. not to mention that 15-20 page final paper for sociology of everyday life is silently screaming for me to finish it...

i just wanted to say that my attitude toward grad school has gradually shifted. one month ago i was ready to give up and run for the hills. but today, this week, and perhaps this entire month, i've realized that i have chosen this and i have come a long way already. i am not certain as to what else i would be doing with my time. i could not say that a job would have been a better option for me. i am incredibly in love w. my classical sociological theory course, i have met some really amazing life-long friends, and i love my little apartment (&& that i can run home on the weekends to be w. family).

perhaps, i have learned to appreciate my life as it is (again). i always seem to forget all the good there is to be thankful for when situations are rough. i am continously working to remember that. perhaps, that is my greatest life goal--to maintain my sense of goodness in hard times. to remember all the little parts of my life that i cherish and love and appreciate.

i just thought it was necessary to clarify my newly recognized sense of being.

i do miss all the free time i used to have. but, to never have been challenged like this would truly be a shame.

sweeter dreams.
