October, really?

How is it October? This year has gone by at a ridiculous speed. Its so weird to think about what was going on in January and February. I mean, I guess I'm doing most of the same stuff, just in a dramatically different location and different people.

For the most part that's a good thing. Lately I've been thinking about how in light of all that's changed, there is a lot about me I wish was different. I still just want to spend rainy days in bed and struggle to work up enthusiasm for the gym. I still feel frustrated when I am not in control of my emotions and then react in wholly inappropriate ways.

I don't think I expected these things to change when I came here, at least when I was really honest with myself. Maybe its just a sign that my life is continuing here, moving forward and happening instead of just being in some sort of stasis. Could be good.

Going to have to deal with that rainy day problem a lot more here though....

So, on a lighter note its Sunday and that means dinner and movie night. This week its Mexican (Mom's enchilada recipe) and Rocky Horror. A good combination, I think.

I feel like I'm being a responsible student and keeping up on my readings. I have a to-do list with less exciting things on it that I am already putting off. I need to be very productive tomorrow.

I feel like, as always, I need to focus more on the positive. I have great friends, an over-active social life, back in school in a great city. I'll save the anecdotes for a happier post. There are plenty.

Cheers!
