Its been a month and a half since I updated on here, and the last update was to tell you that I was going to finish my stories at some point, and a month and a half before that I updated to tell you that I would at some point finish my stories. So its been 3 months since I last told you that I would, at some point, finish my stories. Well my plan is to work diligently over Thanksgiving break to finish my stories. So if you weren't excited enough for Thanksgiving already, now you even have wonderful tales of adventure and excitement to look forward to.
This semester has been what I believe to be the most challenging time of my entire life. For what is really the first time in my life I've put in 110% effort to everything I've done and not succeeded. My GPA is hurt, I still don't have a job, I'm out of shape, certain friendships have sacrificed due to increased focus on other areas of life, and I can't seem to stop questioning what my life is/will be all about. I just can't seem to figure out career paths, life decisions, future studies, relationships, and many other things right now. Its been a tremendous personal struggle for me lately. And as pessimistic as this all sounds, I'm super thankful for all of it. I feel that all of this struggling and weighing of options and searching for meaning and fighting for success has helped me to grow as a person more than I ever have before. I've been forced to recognize what I need and want to do, and really just go for it. My priorities have had to adapt and I've learned what it means to really be determined. At the same time I'm beginning to see how my mind really works and how it is affecting the person I've been, am, and will become. I think I'm turning into an adult. Gross.
I guess this whole growing up thing is cool, but its super difficult and I really just want it to be winter break so I can snowboard and play my drums already. Plus I think next semester is going to be way cooler. I'm only going to have classes on Tuesday and Thursday, and I'm finally going to be able to take my first elective in college (a psychology/neuroscience/biology class called Mind and Brain).
That's my current life in a nutshell. I'm happy I got to write all that down, these are the types of things I'd like to use this blog as after I'm done writing about South America. Maybe I'll see some of you next week. I'm super excited for Thanksgiving, its easily my favorite holiday. Thanks for reading, please stay tuned!
