It has been quite a while since I last put words to "paper." The last post was from the first of October, I had just gone back to school and I was in the stat of my third week. Although, looking back now, seven weeks later, I can say that I wish I had spent some the time I had a bit differently. I had also left my job that week and was committed to getting as much experience under my belt as I could. I studied a lot and thought I had a plan and hoped that everything would go accordingly. I thought I was going to focus on my art and my health while I had this extra time. I thought that naturally I would just really enjoy my last "vacation" of sorts. Unfortunately, my days were spent with me sitting on the couch a majority of the day dong homework and studying and watching videos to help me understand what it was that I was actually learning. Now, 2 months after the start of my class I am sitting here, proud of myself, and proud of all the hard work I had put in. Things didn't go as planned or as I had hoped they would, but that's certainly okay.
After not being in a learning environment for almost 6 years, I learned so much about my intelligence. I earned about my myself. I never knew I had the drive to be the best, to be better than who I was yesterday. I never knew I had good study skills or that I could retain information so well. I never knew that I'd be a student with over a 100% in the class. I didn't know U feel so comfortable in a room full of strangers, I also didn't think I'd those strangers would become friends. I am so excited to be in the place that I currently am in. I never thought I'd feel the way I do. I also never thought that this would be such a season of growth in many areas of my life. My life has expanded in ways that i cant wait to put down. Into something I can read and always come back to later down the line. Life has been such a wonderful ride these 26 almost 27 years, and I am constantly in awe of how life works itself out.
This is a short post but I just really wanted to get this out there, I figured it would help get me back into the swing of things, also it would lighten me up a bit.
With glittering optimism + love,
