I’m still kinda stuffy and I’m super stressed about a paper I have coming up (but of course I’m continuing to procrastinate) and my mind is of course all over the place every second of each day and I’m worried about a lot of things and people and I’m trying really hard to balance all of this out equally but what I really need to do is take a few seconds to focus on the following.
a year ago this time, I still wasn’t positive about where the heck I was going to school. didn’t know how the heck I’d afford it. didn’t have a huge idea of where I wanted to be in the future.
right now, I’m sitting in my dorm room at Florida State University (chowin on some delicious Jimmy John’s delivery.) I was accepted here, God-willing, and was able to take class, and live, and eat completely free of charge here over the summer. I just got back from my rad job at the freaking FSU College of Music, where I learned about Audio Recording from a pretty important Engineer by the name of John Hadden, which is, apparently a huge opportunity itself. literally while writing this, my freaking adorable boy…friend, or something along those lines, walked into my room, told me he was leaving because he knew I had work to do, but kissed me on the cheek, set down a drawing of a hand turkey and a chocolate covered donut with green sprinkles onto my desk, and left. GOSH DARN HE’S SO CUTE. anyway, I recently signed a lease for a beautiful apartment next fall with one of the raddest girls I’ve met here so far and two of her good friends. a couple of nights ago, I was invited to join a pretty great dance company here in Tallahassee. my grades are decent, I’ve got everything I could ever ask for. this campus is downright beautiful, and I’ve met handfuls of pretty great people.
for not knowing what the hell I was doing a year ago, I couldn’t be more grateful or happy with the life I am living in this very moment tonight. I need to be calm and patient and take advantage of everything that I have, which is a lot more than I deserve, damnit, and I couldn’t be more blessed.
