I'm sitting in the boys' room with some of my favorite people in the world. Listening to a little Jon Foreman and sipping on organic coffee. Life is wonderful right now.
...and yet the fact that my midterm is unfinished three days after it was due keeps looming in the back of my mind.
Now I do what I have been doing regarding the midterm situation, push it aside...again and move on with life because it's too wonderful to pass up for homework.
So Torrey Conference has come and gone. It's always so hard for me to sit through those talks with an open heart. We come with so much baggage, so much hurt, so much...crap. Sometimes I feel like those speakers come having studied my life and all the stuff that I've hid away. And then I feel like I'm having a one-on-one conversation with these complete strangers. It was good to come to Torrey at a different place than I was two years ago. Sex and the Soul. Basically the same topic that we had our freshman year, but I was in a very different place then than I am now. It was refreshing to come knowing that I've changed a tremendous amount, but at the same time it was challenging to have all these past issues resurface. I guess resurfacing in a good place, in a good way because I've grown but also in a eery way just remembering things that I've moved so far from. If I could go back to 17 year old me, I would grab me by the shoulders and knock some sense into this disillusioned teenage girl...or something.
Erinnnnn- Can I paint your legs with nail polish?
Ok, time for midterm? Maybe not.
