week six & week seven: hectic healing
So remember when I said I was going to be back at the same place, same time? I totally lied. I got caught up in the mayhem of school and work. I have a bit of catching up to do but I can't mention it all because it'd take forever to talk about so I'll section it off down below.
I. New Friends
I was on my way out of class after taking an exam on Thursday night, walking to my car (rather quickly, I might add) when I stopped by two girls who were clearly waiting for people to walk past them so they could ask them a question. I figured it wouldn't hurt to talk to them, they seemed nice and it was cold outside so maybe I could make it fast and answer their question, and then head home. What started off as them asking "how happy are you right now?" turned into us talking for an hour and a half in the cold, laughing, and getting korean bbq. It was exactly what I needed from my crazy week and a half, and it felt like a sign from God. I had been in motion for a whole ten days straight, whether I was thinking about things at full-speed or driving at full-speed, and this was my chance to slow down. After all, exams were over for the week so I literally could slow down. It was such an uplifting encounter and it was so relaxing to talk to someone who didn't know everything that was going on so I could truly just let it out. I went home that night feeling like a refreshed person with my trust in God restored.
II.Grades
For my final year, I have to say I'm really pleased with my grades. I haven't been the best student as I like to procrastinate and slack off pretty often, but last year I tried to get it together and get good grades. I stopped having such high expectations for myself, especially since I know myself and it's near impossible to score As. I would know, because I keep getting 88%'s. What does it take to stop missing that one question that throws my grade off?! I just want an A... But again, accepting that I am a B student is what keeps me sane.
III. The Importance of Family
I spent a lot of time with my family this past weekend and I was surrounded by so much love. My grandmother is very ill and we only have so much time with her left, it puts into perspective how important that family time is. I basically left school, missed two classes and went straight home so I could drive up to see my family. I definitely have readjusted my priorities and I think it's put me in the right headspace. I've been a little stressed out about graduating and just being around so much love and peace has also put me at peace.
I really can only say that much for now, but I think I'll be back on track come next week.
I promise :)
