i am going out to see

phew.  finished the first week of classes.

things have certainly picked up.

i've met the kind of people i hoped to meet.

and some people i didnt
i've gotten some assignments that i wanted
and some that suck
i feel like i just only holding on to my sanity sometimes
and then i feel like i have everything under control 
and the truth is that i really do
i just need to make sure it stays that way
to make that happen i've been in the workroom all day painting stupid color swatches 

the point is that

college is in full swing

sometimes i feel like this

sometimes i feel like this (and do this)

but just in time for my settling in

i'm going home to visit for the weekend next friday

i'm looking forward to everything.

(ps i have some awards and contests that i've won... and i'm super excited about them, but i'm saving them for a later date.)
