I am HUMAN TOO!

This week has been one of those off weeks. You know a week when everything seems to go completely wrong. I woke up Sunday morning with the flu which has put me out of commission for most of the week. Alas, it had to be the week when I had a test and two presentations due on Monday and Tuesday. I have been sick, out of it, and without for three days. And the other night I realized that I am a perpetual optimist and always find the good in things, even when I am sick. I decided that it is okay to experience different emotions besides happiness. So I became upset and angry that I have been sick, stressed, and admitted I am having a bad week. I am alright with that and work towards expressing those emotions when I have them again. Because I am a human and I do in fact feel sad, lonely, angry, confused, and stressed at times. What is even better is that I have every right to. Just as anyone else. So with this realization I am feeling quite positive about life in general. I love just growing more as person every day. And beginning to express all the emotions I feel will help me grow even more.

Flag time, Party time

Last night I went to the bars with my roommates and some other friends. It as usual was quite fun and entertaining. We went to Flag Brew, ordered a pitcher and went out outside, as soon as we got outside my friend just drops the glass. We were all just having a good time, laughing, and being ridiculous. As we do best. After Flag Brew, we were all pretty good and drunk so we headed off to Mia's. There was a live band there and I was having a blast dancing in the crowd. But before I knew I looked around and noticed that everyone I had come with had left me. Apparently, I was drunk enough that it did not really matter anyways. I just made new friends. I went around and chatted with various people and still had a grand time. Today my roommates and I went to the creek and had a glorious day in the sun. Needless to say right now I am completely exhausted. Tonight I chilled out, met with my friend Amy for a while and am now doing this. Exciting, I know. All I know is that my friends are amazing and whatever we do we make it fun. We are just random, loud, sometimes out of control, but always fun and not afraid to let loose. And I am so grateful for them .

Here comes the sun

Summer time has almost begun. Only a few weeks left of school and then my summer will kick off with a bang. I will begin with a Wilderness First Responder course. This is a course in which I will receive safety, first aid, and how to handle extreme situations in a wilderness setting. I am looking forward to it. It may exhausting and strenuous but worth it. This course will definitely help with future jobs. As soon as that the W.O.F.R ends I will begin my job as a camp counselor at Camp Jackson. I absolutely LOVE this job. It is just glorious. Not only do I learn a lot about myself but I learn a lot about children and people in general. It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to share my love for the outdoors with others. Especially, children. To see city kids embrace nature, get dirty, and love life is the most rewarding experience. That is why I am not concerned with the little pay I receive because the memories are unforgettable. Not to mention, so are the people. I am getting quite excited for this summer and know good times, crazy times, and stressful times will be had. So BRING IT ON!
