Every day is a new beginning.
I just finished my first week of a new semester... one that I hope will be much better than the semesters before. I have four classes this semester instead of six, which should be a great help. I have an internship, which means I'll actually be doing social work instead of just studying it!! Wooooo!!!!!!! I'll be working with kids, families, and paperwork in a local social service organization.
What else is new? I'm currently obsessing over jewelry-making and ASL. I made my first piece of jewelry... I'll try to take some pics to attach later. I'm not sure what to do about my ASL obsession... not sure where to find deaf people locally or even online who would help me learn, or what I could do for them so it's an even exchange. And what is stimulating this interest? At the moment, I'm pretty sure it is the desire to be deaf as I live in my noisy little apartment world. Right now, I am pretty convinced that my upstairs neighbors are jumping up and down on the floor for no aparent reason...
*putting on clothes and going upstairs to ask them to stop*
And of course, when I get there, they are quiet... until I get back downstairs, and back into my jammies. *sigh* Oh well. Put my clothes back on, and they were quiet again... waiting for more noise before I go up and knock.
In other news, I'm posting a new series of discussion questions on Facebook, which I'm pretty excited about... we're taking apart each of the Republican candidates and analyzing our likes and dislikes. Fun!!!!! I did a similar thing on my blog during the Democratic primaries in 2008, but analyzed different candidates by issues. May do that again later down the line, because I learned a lot!
I had calls from two different friends today, asking where I had been and why I hadn't answered phone calls. I was so antisocial over the holidays... I was sad, depressed, and basically just wanted the world to go away. I wanted to hide deep inside, and take a break. I had two major fights with two close friends last semester, and I just needed some time away from the pressure... the pressure to make people happy, to make everyone like me, to be enough for all the voices screaming their needs at me. This semester, I'm going to try again to work on making healthy friendships... to let go of friendships that drag me down, and hang on to friendships that are more or less equal and healthy. I also need to stop hiding... and start being a friend to the friends worth having.
Much easier said than done, I think!
