Just two more papers,
This year will be behind me.
Wait. Write before play.

Georgia: An Update
It turns out that Spring in Georgia makes up for the lack of snow, the drizzling rain and some of the blah that is the tall, skinny pines. There are flowers everywhere. It seems like every bush is blooming. It's either been this week or last week or will probably be this coming week... April here is beautiful. It's like being in a garden 24/7, no matter where I am in town.
Dude. I've been BUSY. I feel like I'm doing well in school. I'm definitely learning a lot this semester. I'm taking a methods course and have ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. I feel like I know what I'm looking for in articles and I'm getting so that I can really critique articles based on what's in them, not what they make me feel. I feel like I can have a real conversation about what I'm reading and not only convey my ideas to others but be on the same page as them... the right page. So that's awesome.
In methods we've been working on developing our thesis/project ideas as well and it's starting to feel like my Master's thesis is actually going to be DOABLE and enjoyable. Months ago I would have laughed at this optimistic version of myself... now though, I believe it.
I'm really excited about the summer. About being able to read the stuff I want to without being responsible for any other reading. So far I've got about 8 books I want to read. And I want to start out the summer by going to the ocean, though I might be too poor for that. If I can't do that right away, I'd love to spend my birthday there. Mmmm.
I haven't written here in awhile, I'm sorry. I've had visitors (7 people in 3 weeks), my Grandpa passed away and I had to fly home for the funeral, and I'm starting to grow my own group of friends here. I don't feel like I'm missing out on life as much... I'm building a new life. I'm growing closer to a student a year ahead of me and it really reminds me of a friendship I had the fall I worked at the Buckle. That friendship rocked in so many ways but made me wary of the future in so many others... I find the similarities between the two situations to be a good reminder of the type of friendship I want to cultivate; the kind of friend I want to be.
I've got two papers left before the end of the semester and I really need to sit down and right them. At this time last semester I was feeling lost and overwhelmed and had no idea where I needed to take my major class paper but this semester is really different. I'm growing. There are scads of places I need to improve upon to be at the place I want to be right now but compared to 4 months ago? I rock.
(P.S. It's rarely WINDY here, the sun is blinding, I'm playing tennis more but working out less, driving is annoying, and right now I have no desire to travel unless it's to the beach. I'm ready for a break, I need to build up my travel bug. And I need a gym that feels like home.)
