back to big kid land

welp. it's time.

time to come out of the prolonged hibernation {known as interterm break} and get back to real life.

being home has been one giant mush fest. it's been fantastic.

sleep, family, art, food, making plans, friends, lots of good conversations, getting some credits out of the way, lots of tea, and getting some much needed emotional and mental rest, along with physical.

super good. just super long.

i think its almost good that break is sooo-ho long {6 weeks} because by the end of it, i am insanely motivated to get back and start the new semester that i'm actually really stoked about it.

and being the girl that i am, who loves to procrastinate, 6 weeks is plenty to do so and well, it shakes me into productivity. it's weird, but it's helpful.

tomorrow i will spend way too many hours alone on the 5 than anyone ever should, i will return to my apartment, move back in all my goodies and i will sit. and i will be back at my other home.

you know, no one ever tells you that when you go to college that you no longer have one life, not really.

the acceptance letter should say, "congratulations, you are officially a nomad and will be moving annually for the next 4 years!"

at first, i was not a huge fan of my best friends and family at home having NO idea about my new life, friends, activities and experiences. but somewhere down the line i came to a point where i greatly appreciated the blessing it is to be poured into generously by so many different sources, people, and opportunities. it is fulfilling in ways i never expected.

which is why i can't wait to get back to where my heart truly thrives. where i'm challenged to think for myself and develop exactly who it is i am becoming, and on my own terms, at my own pace.

this semester is going to be a seriously significant one for me, i can almost taste it.

cheers & off i go.
