My Oh-so-Busy Schedule!

Weekdays really are like a blur and fly by waay too fast. 8am to 5.30pm days really are tiring. By the time I get back home, I just want to chill in front of my comp and watch something meaningless/funny/inspiring/romantic (depending on my mood) for the rest of the night. But no.. I have reports to write, articles to read, studying to do, planning of clinic sessions, planning for tutoring sessions, and some other random crap that I have on my to-do list. Then by the time it's 10pm, my eyelids are heavy and I am so tired that I just want to go to bed. I'm like an old woman now! I used to make fun of Meryl and Carla for feeling sleepy by 10pm and waking up at 6am everyday... now I'm doing the same thing, unwillingly though (which I guess makes me very different from them).

Things really are looking up for me and I am glad for it. Purdue has really been treating me well. Tiring me out but I honestly shouldn't complain. I have little to complain about. I'm getting along dandy with my program mates. I have a tutoring job that I love that's paying my tuition fees and feeding me every month. I have roommates that I can't complain about. I have a car and no longer need to complain about transportation. I have a great guy to hold hands with. I have a mum who talks to me every other night and a dad I can text whenever. And I have the bestest friends that I know I can call or email for anything.

Last Friday was the first time that it hit me - that I've actually made some really good friends in the program. We had our first alcohol party of the semester and I had so much fun. I miss socializing outside of school and class. It was nice to see everyone let loose, it was fun for me to let loose.

I know this happy feeling isn't going to be permanent. If it goes away one day, I know it will come back again. But for now, I am going to enjoy being happy and not think of the what ifs and maybes... concentrate on now and bask in the warm glow of happiness.
