So, I’m almost done with my first week of my second year of college. Things have, with tiny exceptions, been going extremely well. I haven’t gotten lost or missed any classes, I have most of what I need to get through the semester, including a job where I don’t feel totally out of place, even [...]

Again, I have no idea where I’m going with this, so I might as well just start rambling. It’s been a pretty good weekend: almost exclusively lovely, in fact. I spent a bit more than I day driving to Iowa with my (non-biological) big Brother Ryan, helping him move stuff into storage in his new [...]

I must say, these past few weeks have been long, stressful ones for me, and they’re starting to take a visible toll. I’m exhausted, I don’t feel like getting up in the mornings, I yawn all day, but still toss and turn when I do try and sleep. On the off chance that I do [...]

… and I’m (sorta) happy to report that things have changed a bit since the last time I wrote here. I can’t tell you any specific cause, but sometime last week, something gave me a boost. Thinking back on those few days, I can only smile.
I was on top of the world — I couldn’t [...]

Emotional mountains and valleys

Today was a nice day. The brutal cold of midwestern winters is fading to a brisk, comfortable temperature, which means less time is spent bundling up before walking outside. Classes didn’t start until 12:40, we got to sight read new music in band, and I ate lunch and dinner with friends that made me laugh. [...]

Christmas and forgiveness

Phew. Finals are over, and as far as I can tell, I didn’t fail any of my classes. Some of my grades weren’t up as high as I liked, but considering certain events, I don’t think it could have been helped. Now that I’m back at home, homework-free, I’ve already found myself filling my time [...]

… dead week…

Life is pretty crazy, huh? This weekend, there was a double homicide in west Ames, the city where I’m going to school. I got a call from the ISU-alert number Saturday morning, and had to listen to the message about the killings and the person of interest twice before it sunk in. The story was [...]
