list of happenings thus far in february:
feb. 1: birthday--a weekend spent in foodage with the bestie and my parents, then getting ambushed with cheesecake, ice cream, a ginormous star balloon (that is bigger than my torso and still has helium after two weeks), and a movie by cecia, looloo, and jed on the night of my birthday; cloudy with a chance of meatballs is awesome, by the way.
feb. 9: shadowed a group dental practice--cannot wait to get my hands on some actual work there... absolutely love it!
feb. 10: mr. richards is now dr. richards--his defense at 10 am went well and he is finally done with his long-worked thesis; looks like a celebration is in order. also found out that dr. haloviak is engaged. so happy for both of these wonderful people who have helped to shape my goals and beliefs.
feb. 14: chinese new year/valentine's day--spent cleaning and sleeping and reading and studying and being hungry at random hours but staving it off with bran cereal. yum.
late into the early morning of feb. 15: reading alice in quantumland--which, by design, feels a lot like the phantom tollbooth but is still quite complex as i am allergic to physics.
sometimes i can't help but feel like everything is whirling forward and out of control and i am merely in the middle, almost immobile and quite off-pace. i'm doing my best to move forward, but i can't help but feel pressure from all sides. a little peace would be nice. a clear state of mind, undistracted. i pray that that is exactly what this next year of life brings me: focus and peace. even if i feel like my metabolism is slowing down and i can't pull all-nighters anymore. even if i have to force myself to understand the world of rest mass energy. this year, like all the ones before, i'm thankful for the people around me who give me motivation to focus and who cut into my pressure-laden condition and make me laugh and feel loved. somehow, someway, i aim to repay you tenfold.
before it begins to break
