it's been a while, cyberland

so, yes, it has been a long time since i posted on this thing. and the last few posts were during a rather depressing period in my life (although january and february are kind of depressing for everyone), but just so you all know (i realize that you were waiting with bated breath) i'm an extremely happy and busy individual now!
so, i'm in a psychology class, and we have to read this book called mans search for meaning. its really good, and it is encouraging me to do some self-evaluation that i wouldn't do otherwise. so, college is already making me a better person!

ways that i have improved since going to college:
1. i am now completely converted to coffee. espresso is my friend!!
2. i'm cleaner then i used to be, due to room checks once a week.
3. i savor quiet time more. i enjoy being social, but i'm not afraid to be alone.
4. i have been reading my bible every night before i go to bed. this is a SIGNIFICANT improvement, due to the fact that i hadn't read my bible voluntarily in about 6 months. yes, i am a recovering heathen. :)
5. i have grown somewhat more comfortable with myself. but that is definitely a work in progress.
6. i am somewhat more organized!
7.i made my bed this morning.
8. i am still staying connected with friends and family, but i am also fairly independent. both of those are good when balanced.
9. i have been making sure that i look presentable most of the time. at first it was jeans and a tshirt with my hair in a crap ball every day, but now i actually do something with my hair, i put together outfits, and i paint my nails! i don't know how significant that improvement is, but i feel better because of it.
and last but not least....
10. I AM UNDERSTANDING MATH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!!!

so, as i sit in my little dorm room, avoiding finishing my reading for the night, i thought i would update this. i will probably update it again sometime next year, but who cares?

love to all who read this poor pathetic little blog (i should name it. what should its name be?), and good night.
