I have been pleased by the snow this winter, because if it's going to be this cold and windy, it had also better be pretty. But still, I've been feeling a bit ragged. I've been victim to a seemingly never ending cold, feeling insecure about my winter ham-arms and pot-belly, and mentally taxed by college. I cannot tell you how worried it makes me feel that my success in transitioning from college to life seems to be amusing and making friends with my teachers. I am The Worst at amusing strangers! And I said more crazy things to my sister's friends because I was nervous and I never know what to say to anybody.
I was worrying these things over in my mind, sullenly tromping back to the dorm after class Friday when several of my Happy Place songs came on, I saw a quote that soothed me, took a nap, ate lunch with my mom, laughed a lot over a dumb movie, sighed happily about a cute guy with my sister, listened to a sermon at Vespers that encouraged rather than guilt-tripped me, and just felt. Better. So amazing.
Have some music!

I'm glad you're feeling better. Also, you don't necessarily have to love the teachers. They can help, but they're also going to die soon, and then where would you be?
