I Am Me

Thursday, March 31

Yeah, yeah I know. It's been forever since I've updated. But my life has been good lately, and I just wanted to make sure it would last, you know? I didn't want to jinx it.

Well, it's the end of 4th week, and I've got 6 more weeks, plus finals. But, I'm glad to say it's been a good run. My life is more than academics, and I feel like my life is very full these days. It's been a good trip. Ha ha ha.

Anyways, I should get around to finally tell you all what's been happening. Well, my first instinct is to discuss academia, so I'll just stop beating around the bush. ;)
I'm having a 'fabulous' time in sociology. I heart my Social Movements class! (Even though, we haven't had a class discussion since Tuesday, March 19) I feel like what I'm learning is stuff I can apply to the rest of my life, especially as an activist. I do have to brag, a bit. I totally aced the first test. :D
However, I have to be honest. I'm not perfect, as is evidenced by my D on my philosophy midterm. However, I do object to having a midterm during 3rd week, of a 10 week term. Timing is all messed up. Even the philosophy majors had trouble with that damn test. It was messed up. But I do find the debates in class interesting.
I'm glad that Web Page Design is over. And I'm sure the skills I learned might come in handy if I ever get roped into managing a website for an organization.

But, my life is more than academics, thank goodness. I got to visit my sister on Monday. Yay for Jenny! I heart my sister. :)
I also am going on a 24 hour retreat tomorrow night...should be interesting. I also have been experimenting with some new and different activities, and I'm enjoying myself, thoroughly.

Indeed, indeed. Life is good. Smile & be happy. I know I am! ;)

Well, give me a few weeks, and 24 hours with my sister, and I'll show you a whole new me!

I feel renewed, resolved, and determined, minus all the stress from beforehand. Jenny helped me worry less about the uncontrollables in life, and then only worry about the controllables to the extent about how much I can realistically do with them.

Of course, it's been 2 weeks since I've seen Jenny, and I miss her so much. My renewed self is disappearing with all these new stressors being piled onto my life. I feel like some doctor should prescribe me a visit with my sister at least twice a month, to maintain my chi or something.

The old me feels like it wants to move back in. I like the new me, and I want to stay right here.

Somehow, I will win this tug-of-war. I will always win in the fight between Kim & Kim, because, I am Kim. So there.
