I'm Saaiillliinnnng Awayyyyyy
Okay, um, I'm in a good mood. Pretty damn good. Yesterday was a bit of a drag and I managed to exacerbate that by getting into a heated discussion with my significant other over what? None other than my own foul mood and the fact that I was rained on on the way home from class. Okay, well, it's not that simple but it sucked anyway. I haven't been sleeping too well, I keep waking up all through the night and being extremely COMFORTABLE but nevetheless awake. At least those dreams haven't returned. I hope I managed to talk myself out of having them. They don't help much when trying to get through the day. I must be insane to take on the sheer volume of STUFF that I'm doing this term. This is a copy of the timetable. Impressive, ne? That's 19 credits and a 20 hour work week, plus mentoring and an unpaid editorial position. I want to keep busy since it prevents me from getting too lonely or thinking too much but at the same time, keeping this busy is a double-edged sword. Too much stress and too little time make for feeling just as miserable as sitting around doing nothing. At least this makes more time for spring. I hate winter! Friggin Pacific Northwest rain squalls. I think I saw more sun the week I was in Montana than I did the whole time I was in Seattle over break.

Today is a notable exception. My GOD is it gorgeous outside! It's warm and sunny and it feels like April instead of... January 8th. ^.^ I want to run around and pick flowers and frolic in a fields. Hehe. I want to hug people. : ) I could use a good long week of Euphoria.

Often, when I'm seeing things in a more positive light, I like to people watch when I'm walking around. It just struck me how rare it is that people respond well to being looked at anymore. Even just a smile or a nod when passing someone by seems to make them nervous. Making eye contact or being caught looking at someone's face seems to put people off even more. I understand that it's personal but it's so hard to even offer a greeting when people walk around all day with their heads down. I do the same when I'm feeling low or vulnerable and it makes me wonder if the whole world operates that way most of the time. Damn shame, in my opinion.
