I'm back in the States again and back to the real world. *sigh* I wish I could have stayed longer with the bf...I really miss him. It keeps getting harder and harder to leave. He said both of those 3 word phrases to me: "I love you" and "You're worth it". I wish I could remember exactly when he said them to me, but the entire trip has blurred into ( Read more... ) -

Today has been one of those rare moments were I'm content with things. Well, it's actually the product of some decisions I made:- I am NOT coming back to the lab assistent job next semester. Also next week, I'm only going to go in for 10-12 hours like the prof orginially said. I've wasted enough of my time on this bullshit. My proiorites first.

Up, up and away...away from me
I wish I could slow time or run away, leave it all behind for a day or even an hour. The pressing urge to just curl up and cry keeps gnawing at me, but I can never seem to let the tears flow. Combination of things have been simmering away at the dark recesses of my mind.

A View from the Afternoon Sun
Coming back from Vienna, it feels like I never even left. I fitted right back into my little niche of things. In retrospect, my entire Eurotrip was just a giant procrastination from life.

hyperinsomnia
I'm so tired, all I want to do is sleep. I think the term has finally caught up to me and the jet lag. It's like not even midnight and I'm ready for bed, which may not be a bad idea. I have so much to do tomorrow, mostly miscellaneous errands. I have to gather up my life since I don't have a school this year. I guess it's not that bad having a year ( Read more... )
