write away...

The opposite feeling, the sense of well being of a tree for its roots, the happiness to know oneself in a manner not entirely arbitrary and accidental, but as someone who has grown out of a past, as an heir, flower, and fruit and thus to have one's existence excused, indeed justified—this is what people nowadays lovingly describe as the real historical sense

I'm a Modern Girl, But I Fold in Half So Easily When I Put Myself in the Picture of Success

CHACO CANYON...my favorite inspiration

Tonight is the first night in an incredibly long time that I don't have homework. I couldn't be more excited. What better to do than create a blog? I'm still challenging myself to think and be creative and yet no one can give me a grade for what I write in this box. I just got done with two different work shifts for two different jobs. First, I made a ridiculous amount of copies from this book that documents an excavation sight my advisor/hero is working on. It's called the Ur Excavations. Pretty exciting stuff. I agreed to do some copying and data entry to help her out and add to my continuously depleted bank account. I also did a bit of copying at my second job, but mostly I looked through piles of music programs for a description of Mozart's Requiem. no luck. 

It's strange being so overwhelmed but realizing you are going to be OK. In the end all of this stuff is helping me and I really do enjoy everything I do. I wouldn't be happy if I wasn't busy. I thrive off of being overwhelmed. I feel awkward when I'm not busy. 
Life is lovely right now though. I find out more about myself everyday...some good things, some bad. It's good though, because it gives me a chance to improve, or at least to accept who I am. I love my friends, adore my family, and am enjoying all of possibilities in my life. My main goal is to get through this block without ruining my GPA, and without ruining the very real possibilities. 

The song "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison is track number 1 on the soundtrack to my life. I couldn't love that song more.
