Extended Absence

Guess what?? That time of the year where I have to abandon my blogging for term papers and projects and reading snuck up on me this year! Or maybe it just started earlier than normal. Hm. Well either way, the last few weeks have not been without their challenges, but I'm enjoying the semi-calm of spring break this week and preparing myself for the storm ahead.

I was in some rough patches, some doubts, the last couple of times I wrote. I had to go back and read them. Something had shaken me, I don't know if it was something specific or I was just feeling mentally week, but something was off. Either way, I got over that since then. I'm feeling good again. I'm feeling blessed. The dullness of everyday life is still there, but I know with time, adventure will come. And for the time being, I just need to make the best of what I have and make it through the rough stuff so that I can enjoy the future. :)

Remember when I posted about the potential of living by myself, and how it was and idea I'd been playing with? Well, between house-sitting and spring break, I've gotten a chance to really try that idea out. And...I think I'm sold. It's great. It's relaxing and quiet and clean. I just feel like so much of my life is LOUD and CHAOTIC that it's nice to come home in the afternoon and just have peace and quiet. Don't get me wrong, I love my roommates, but having my own space is ingrained in me. I never shared a room as a child because it was just me; I was thrown into school where I lived with three other girls and I adjusted better than many people expected me too. But I really do love my independence. And it just feels so much more free when it's just me. I'm going to enjoy it for the next few days, that's for sure.

You'll have to forgive me if the next four weeks don't involve a lot of writing. I will come back, I love it too much to stop. It's not that I don't have things to say - I always have things to say and thoughts running through my mind - I just don't always have the time to write them down.
