Currently

Monday, March 31, 2014

Lately I've been writing a lot about graduation, moving, etc., but I haven't really talked about anything else. So, here's a quick update about my life!

Currently I'm....

  • Reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 
  • Playing Assassin
  • Watching Grey's Anatomy
  • Trying watercolor
  • Eating all the summer fruits that are coming into season!
  • Drinking tons and tons of water
  • Pinning lots of things about Europe 
  • Hating all the end of semester projects
  • Discovering how to use photoshop 
  • Enjoying the beautiful spring sunshine
  • Hoping for grad school acceptance letters!
  • Listening to John Legend
  • Finishing college
  • Starting grown-up life

The Gardner

I've been thinking a lot about plans (lack thereof). This isn't quite where I thought I would be at graduation. My life is not bad in anyway, just different. At the beginning of this experience I had a bad attitude; I was of the why-is-this-happening-to-me school of thought--not the way to go. Recently, though, I have realized that God is the Gardner and I'm ok with that. In His hands, my life will be happier, fuller, and much better than anything I can do on my own.

Smitten by Britain

“Oh, to be in England now that April’s there.”

— Robert Browning

Oh, England, you have stolen my heart and I wish I could be there in April! But, for three glorious weeks this summer I am going to explore as much of this country as possible. London and Oxford are definitely on the list, but I've been researching (as always) other possible day trips. Train in England are so cheap! The US should develop a train system like this. Still trying to narrow down where I want to go so weigh in if you have any thoughts!

Listography

Wednesday, March 26, 2014

With only a few weeks left to go to graduation I find that my life is a collection of lists:

  • Things to do before graduation
  • Items to pack
  • Things to do before Europe
  • Things to do before next fall
  • People to hang out with/say goodbye to
  • Restaurants to try
  • Books to sell
  • Papers to write
  • Projects to finish

My lists go on and on...I'm even making lists of lists! Having so many lists tends to stress some people out, but I love lists. There is something so satisfying about crossing an item off your list. Since I don't really run anymore, this is my runner's high. Making lists gives some sort of structure to my currently-loosely-structured world; lists put my mind at ease and gives me a sense of moving in some sort of direction. I'm probably going to look through my journals in forty years and just find an endless collection of lists with items scribbled off. You know what, though? The sight will make me happy.
