Enjoy the present

when I hung out with my new friend from my class. We had a blast, just window shopping and then eating at a great restaurant. At night, she invited me over to have dinner with her friends. :)

Unfortunately, I am now crunched on time for homework. sigh

One could say I escape “to” the future while I’m in the present in order to avoid the past. Weird, right? Anyways, I want to stop doing that. I want to fully experience the present to the best of the opportunity I’m given. I need to create opportunities for myself as well to enjoy what I do have where I am now with who I’m surrounded with.

I’ve taken steps towards doing this by looking up events around the city and outside. I’m asking friends if they’d like me to visit them or anything (hate to intrude) and such like that. So I have some things planned for this month :) like a festival this weekend and then I’m cooking later that night with other friends. Later this month is a film festival, which sounds exciting, as well as a beer festival. I know a couple people who would definitely be interested. Fun times :).
