I've been at college in Missoula at the lovely University of Montana for just over a month. I've lived in the dorms, met new people, joined a sorority, moved out of the dorms and into my sorority house, gone to a church retreat at Flathead Lake, and kept up with working part time and the classes that i'm taking. I've had all of 1 hour(not consecutively) to sit down and relax and watch some television. I've gone to open mic night, movies at the University theater, a great concert at a coffee shop and even went on a quick drive to the small town of Lolo with some sorority sisters.
Let's just say that i've never been so consistently busy in all my life. And i love it.
I don't have time to sit around and worry about what hasn't happened yet or what might happen. I have just about enough time to walk to work or my next class or my next social gathering and that's about it. I feel a little like i was living with blinders on before i was introduced to the complete view of my sight.
For the time being, i'm working on bonding with all the amazing girls i'm living with and learning to open myself up more and trust other people to be genuine and nice(it turns out most people ARE that way...). Something about living in such a beautiful place like Missoula makes even my bad days much more bearable. I've felt some stress and anxiety, but i feel bigger than them. I feel like everything's going to be OK because i know who i am and i've learned that in order to receive good things from the world, you have to put good things OUT into the world. I'm being more open and trusting of people, which makes others act kinder and more trusting towards me. I'm working on studying in a more productive manner, so i'm getting better grades. I'm learning to open my eyes and say i don't understand instead of closing my eyes and saying i don't believe.
Live well, Love much, Laugh often!
