Peace
So, I know I haven't written in a long time. I'm not even sure if anyone is even reading this blog but it is therapeutic to write even if no one sees it. I've been up all night working on a school-related blog post. I'm not sure if it even makes sense--or what I'm typing now makes much sense but who cares? Proof-reading is for nerds!
Now, I've been through a lot of things since my last posts most notably my recent move to a new city to attend graduate school. It is a little uncomfortable, a little stressful, and a lot scary. I've still got boxes to unpack--which I can't unpack until they deliver the correct furniture (ugh!)--so I've got a little nervous energy associated with that. I also have a ton of work I have to do and it reminds me of how I felt last year when I was so ready to finish my B.S. How quickly I forgot the stress and mid-semester freak-outs while I sat at home bored after graduation. Oh well! I applied to grad school, got accepted/enrolled, and moved all in a matter of weeks. As if that isn't stressfull enough right? I moved the night before my first class so I have been on the move ever since I got here.
So now what? I'm not sure. I need to get myself settled in--which means unpacking!--and find out some good places to hang. There is a Half Price Books about 5 minutes from me...dangerous! As well as a bar and restaurants. I need some nice indoor study places cuz it's too hot to be outside at the river. A quiet cafe, small bookshop, something...I will find it. Now that I mention it there is a sign for a bookstore called Know Thy Self near the school that I wanted to check out too. Still doesn't quite sound like I have a plan yet but I will make it do what it do. I also need to hit 6th street so I can see what the hubbub is about and find the poetry spots where the "conscious" crowds dwell. I need to find a hair salon that can do natural hair or start my locs again. I need to write out my schedule, get a kitchen table, and go shopping. The question is, when will I find the time? If I have the free time and I'm caught up with my work do I go home and visit or do I stay here and check out the nightlife? Hmm, good question right? Equality...how can I find the balance?
