it's been two months.
in those two months: spontaneous trip to colorado, finals, road trip to chi and then home, blissfully busy weeks in michi, back to mpls, working week, school started again, and now we're three weeks deep.
this semester: 15 credit hours, internship, working, training for a marathon (?), saturday classes, trying to keep up. i find that i'm most successful when i think i'm in over my head. when i think i'm going to fall behind, when i think i'm going to get lost in the madness, when i don't save time for simple things - but make time for them.
what these first few weeks have taught me: there's something really pleasant about going to bed early and waking up early and rushing to the coffee shop to open for the day. i like starting my days there - with coffee, and mostly happy people, and the bustle of service. people like it when i give them coffee early in the morning. i'm remembering that sundays are sacred. for rest, and community, and catching up. i'm realizing friday nights are my favorite. the most reckless - like dinner parties, and birthdays, and korean drama and disaster movie marathons. and that spending time (outside) with friends is the most important.
where to now: planning more road trips, cheap flights to chicago, spring break along the shores of lake superior, summer time, and weddings (!!)
