Two thankful posts in one day, because, let's be real, school work gets the better of me sometimes.
November 4, 2011: Music
I don't have a lot of time to pursue leisurely things I love to do, and I can't wait until November 20, because all my courses and projects will be done for first quarter. Aside from boxed wine, one thing that I love is listening to music, and fortunately this can be done while working on homework, cleaning my house, or driving in between the office and work. I take it everywhere with me. Recently, music's been my solace for my soul. The creative outlet I miss but need to stay sane. And it lets me escape to a different place, which is real nice, when I'm a little overwhelmed and off-center with no mat for a down-dog. Mmmm.
November 5, 2001: The Phrase, "Me, too!"
For the first month of grad school, I walked around thinking, am I the ONLY one? about everything. I felt so alone and out of place, so different. But slowly walls break down, and I'm able to learn my classmates' stories a bit and get a closer glimpse into who they are and what this process is like for them. In those conversations the words "me, too!" come out frequently, which are a fresh breath, like waves rolling onto the shoreline, washing everything clean. It's nice to know you have a buddy, especially since eye chat happens this way. I do love a good eye chat.
