Oy.

So it's......busy.

The thesis is still in gridlock and the deadline already passed. Despite that fact, I remain calm and have actually moved this to the back burner momentarily. I refuse to rush into something that will consume 9 months of my life without picking a topic that at least MODERATELY interests me. Hopefully it will take shape by the end of this week. I'm working on it, slowly.

School is consuming most of my time, but the proportion of time that I spend studying is decreasing as I acclimate to an academic environment with set homework schedules and multiple-choice tests that are almost entirely B.S.-able. The most important thing for me to remember that will allow me to preserve what piece of my sanity I have left is that it doesn't have to be perfect.

Random Fact of the Moment: I've decided that I'd really like to get a dog when I graduate.

As far as everything else....life is good but tiring right now. God has been doing some pretty great things in my life over the past few days, teaching me to surrender parts of me that I didn't even know I was holding back and to open up more. Being more open, just going with the flow, feels good. Ironically exhausting, but good.
