Busy Life

It's beautiful here. I can't even imagine living in Calgary anymore, knowing that I would be bundled up, hibernating away from the thought of snow. Watching the leaves fall off the tree before they change to the beautiful yellows, oranges, reds of autumn. Here I can watch the tree outside my window change to a perfect shade of fall. It is still at least 20 degrees outside, constantly warm, enjoyable, making walking around campus pleasurable. Sun shining in my window, lighting up the room, enjoying the peacefulness of the morning before the construction begins.

For once in my life I feel like I actually enjoy going to school. All though the days are often long, and the readings consistently uninteresting, I enjoy knowing that I am working towards a goal that seemed unattainable for so many years. Still, my first assignment seemed to take forever, as the chapter was boring, and my concentration level low. I did finish it, and while it seems on the long side, I hope the quality of my work reflects the quantity of time I put into it.

Three hours of class today, fast-talking professor followed by a discussion group for the class. My energy level has been fading these last few days, and perhaps this weekend I may attempt to get in some much-needed rest. To possibly fight the confusion and just relax. Two books of an enjoyable nature to read, and newly downloaded albums to listen to. Add a possibility of enjoying a few episodes of Will & Grace, as well as brunch with my cousin and it could be the perfect way to unwind for the weekend...
...Or it could be wishful thinking in the chaotic atmosphere of residence.
