Upon returning from our Durango road trip adventure, I expected to have time to post a few more things on this blog before heading out to our next grand adventure: Graduation/East Coast! Alas, I was so swamped with catching up with my work and social life that this was not the case! In fact, my schedule filled up so much that on Saturday, I was a melancholy soul all day and I couldn't determine why. Indeed several disheartening events had taken place throughout the week and it was on these I hinged my listlessness.
However, after a lazy Sunday which involved much laying around on my bed and reading, it occurred to me that I'd had no time for reflection. Saturday was busy busy: going out for coffee in the morning, soccer at noon, hanging out with Jake after that...and I didn't realize how little time I'd had to just think. "You haven't had much personal time all week!" Jake pointed out when I mentioned it to him. "Really?" I asked, surprised. I could hardly remember how I'd spent my time... It was true though; the week had filled up with socializing appointment after appointment and I hadn't made any time for myself (which turned me into a very disagreeable person, I am unhappy to say).
Realizing that, I've been much happier and I can finally get excited about this trip! (Except my deplorable fashion dilemma! Nothing in my closet seems suitable for the fashion capital which is New York!) Fashion quandary aside, I am very much looking forward to it! As I've said on several occasions, I'm hoping the ceremony will bring the closure I need to my academic journey and add some legitimacy to my accomplishments. We'll be staying in Philadelphia but we also plan to spend time in Trenton, NJ (for the ceremony on Saturday), New York City, and Washington D.C. Not sure yet if we'll take "the fancy camera" because it's a pain to carry around, but I'd love to practice my photography! If nothing else, I'll definitely post a few iPhone photos!
