thought for the day

It has been a long month full of ups and downs.  Mostly ups, but some downs.  School is done for the semester. I finished the semester with a 4.0...all A+'s this time and i am very proud of that!  That definitely helped my GPA.  i had my interview with the Greensboro Housing Authority for my field internship next year.  It went very well and i am very excited about working with them.  i still have some hoops to jump through over the next few weeks as far as financial aid and the registrar's office are concerned.  We shall see how that goes.

i had a melt down a few weeks ago.  Dad went into the hospital and it upset me immensely.  Through a set of unfortunate circumstances, i thought i had been the last to find out about this.  But, Dad did try to call me earlier that day, but my phone never rang (i had it on all day) and he said that my phone told him it was no taking any voicemails.  Ah, technology.  Anyway, i got really upset and angry over this and jumped to some conclusions.  i realized, after the fact, that even though the conclusion to which i came is not incorrect, how i got there was.  So, i did take my FB post down about it because it put people that i care about in an awkward position.

Speaking of FB, i have deactivated my account for the summer.  i did not delete it, just deactivated it.  i thought long and hard about it and came to the realization that it simply is not something that i need right now in my life.  The overwhelming need to document everything i do and everything i feel (even the bad, crazy stuff) was really eroding my soul.  It, FB, was replacing real human contact and that is what i truly crave.  As a result, i am now 2 weeks sans FB and am really enjoying it.  i spend a lot less time on the internet, either via computer or phone, and i am starting to make some actual contact with people again and that feels really good.

Now, as for my summer plans....not much as far as vacation goes.  i am going to focus on self care this summer and do things that i need to and want to do.  This will be good for me mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.  It's time i started forming some good habits.  Here's hoping that i'm successful at that.  Only time will tell

Cheers
