a year of firsts

I've been in New York for almost 8 months now. Since October. That's so odd to me! People are graduating. This is the first year I haven't been in a classroom.

It's about to be summer again...this time last year I was starting my Kentucky adventure. I wonder what this summer will be like. A part of me wants to pretend like I'm still in college and do nothing but party. But I'm an adult now and my career doesn't allow summer vacations. Especially when I don't make the most of the rest of the year.

Gosh, I keep learning new things about myself. A lot of them are negative. But that's okay, because I'm learning how to fix it all. For example: I am a total lazy ass procrastinator. Well, I guess I knew that already. But I'm learning how to keep a schedule and keep myself motivated. Really. But also, this is the first time I've been completely on my own. I relied on my parents way too much growing up. And I had a group of best friends. Then I went off to college, met Grace, and we quickly became inseparable. This the first time I don't really have anybody at all, and it's kind of freeing. I'm having to adjust, and it's a good thing.

Despite everything, I'm very content right now. Everything seems to be okay.

I'm doing Bikram yoga (aka "hot" yoga)...it's teaching me discipline. It's just about the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, so when you get out of class you feel like you can do ANYTHING! Everything else in life seems so simple in comparison, and lovely. And you also sweat so much that it gets all the toxins out.

And I want a dog! Like, really bad.
