Well, here's what's good / a little update.
11:40:00 PM
Hello everyone!
I did a thing with my hair last night and now it's silvery grey.
ANYWAYS - it's been 3 weeks of routinized life and I'm still alive, can you believe it? That being said, I'm still getting used to the structure of it all after 2 months of straight traveling and lounging around. Involuntarily getting out of bed in the early morning is probably the hardest part and I don't think I'll ever adjust to that. Also, it doesn't help that I have a lot of the worst, least enjoyable classes this semester.
I'd be lying if I said the last month was all smooth and easy going. It really wasn't. Sometimes, no matter how much you want something to work out - it just won't. That's what I've learned. On top of the rut I ran/am running through, I busted my back a few weeks ago in ballet. I haven't danced since. Simple, everyday movements yield a new pain spot and I resort 99% of the time to laying down with a heat pack.
Despite the workload/petty stresses and what not, I'm so pumped about the next few months leading up to the new year.
Something I've really been looking forward to is becoming a senior editor for our campus paper! I love working with other writers and hearing their passions for the art. I'm so excited to hopefully be leading a great bunch this year; excited, but anxious at the same time. I don't have a single clue as to what I should be expecting. It's all new to me.
I've been writing a lot lately and that has me so hyped, honestly. Some poetry, but mainly just for the blog. I have so many 'drafts' waiting to be published, but some still need a little more polishing. I'm a liiiitle bit of a perfectionist when it comes to what goes onto this blog. Quality of posts over quantity, easily, any day. I've also started getting into photography a little - experimenting with different lenses and playing around with different settings too.
But on a more personal level...
Recently, I had some time to reflect and I noticed that the problems I have are all so trivial. I have a roof over my head, I have access to all my necessities and I have all the people around me that I need to get by. I'm healthy and so are my family + friends. That should be well over enough. I would be lying if I said I didn't complain a lot - because I do. It's easy to be ungrateful when we're so positive that waking up in the morning is already a given. Some won't get that privilege.
I quite literally dye my hair a magical different colour every week. I definitely shouldn't be complaining. Pastel princess one moment, space witch the next. This is what's good.
There are so many exciting things happening soon. You'll want to stay tuned... trust me. I hate staying quiet about the plans I have, but you won't be in the dark for too long.
Well, it's October tomorrow and I guess it's time to wake up Green Day (ba-dum-tsssss).
