i've been holding my breathe for a week it seems-- projects, papers, readings and quizzes all weighing heavy on my every second. i've given my self so much time to work on these things, but no matter what environment, caffeine level or my company- i cannot seem to focus. other than in the early morning, when there's nothing but quiet, dark and lonely. deadlines creeping up and inspiring me for some of my best work, at no hour other than the eleventh.
why am i like this? i don't know. almost everyone i know is a self proclaimed procrastinator yet it doesn't seem to tie up their every living moment and haunt their sleep and their play like it does me.
anyway, back to bacon. as in the last post, ten days ago. nicole keeps reminding me of the growing number of days since i last posted. i made a connection today, nicole said it had been ten days since the last post and i made a piece of bacon this afternoon, the first time since my last post so that means my package of bacon must be well over ten days old, i'm not sure how healthy that is, but it tasted good. i thought that i would've forever lost my taste for bacon after last week's scare and gross-out. not so.
this afternoon after wrapping up a very intense week of school and wanting to not be in school i was so relived as my last class let out. i wanted to relax, give myself a mental break and do something enjoyable. so i called kate. nothing sounded too good to either of us, except being in each other's presence and catching up without the continuous interruption of homework (which usually causes our conversations to be paragraphs instead of pages). we took a walk, gathered some amazing leaves, sang in a tunnel, soaked up autumn.
being with kate makes me really thankful. thankful to enjoy doing the simple things of life with someone that i love, doing life in close community. friendship is easily taken for granted, but it's golden and needs to be thoroughly reveled in and embraced.
