quit trying to do so much at once.

...of university for me this year. I will still have to go to work and get ready for summer adventures, but I won’t be under the dual pressures of grades and finals. Thank goodness.

The start of the summer is just jam-packed. I feel a little hurried about it! I’m trying to stay present in today, this week, this next step, but it’s not easy.

...am I doing with myself?

I have been going out too much, wasting too much time, wasting money at a clip that out-does a drunken Kennedy. In short, I am trying to do a lot, failing, and then doing a bunch of unrelated stuff. This is not a good cycle.

...at this:

I took the 43 Things Personality Quiz and found out I’m anExtroverted Organized Reinventer

...outside of myself.

Here’s a modern metaphore: have you played any of the new Wii games with a balance board? Oh, man are they fun! So, the idea is that you want to keep yourself, represented by a little dot, within a certain space. After each game, it shows you how you’ve progressed. My charts look like a seisograph from richter scale in California. That is to say, I’m all over the place. Hey, I’m still learning! Turns out, however, that that’s exactly how I feel at the moment, too. It’s not just the movement, which is perfectly healthy, in my opinion, but all the wavering outside of the zone I in which I think I belong. I’m off the map, and I don’t seem to get close to that part of me, that core, that I know needs tending.
