Happy May Day!
Today was a much need therapy day I think...
Started with last night, I had a pretty good friend that is an art major and a surfer, Jackie Swider, paint me an amazing personalized painting of a wave forming a barrel and pismo beach in the background, this is a picture of it, but it doesn't do the detail of colors justice, it is blended more smoothly then it looks in this picture... absolutely amazing, and somewhat of a calming piece of art that I think will do me a lot of good relaxing and relief in the years to come....
Class went well, I somewhat understand the demands of water from soil... sorta.... worked on senior project, which will take many more pain-staking hours in the weeks to come, but is moving along one step at a time, which I suppose is all you can ask for truly.
I felt wonderful piece of artwork addition for my room deserved a warm clean welcoming,(as well as the fact that I finally feel well enough to do anything more than sleep and make it to class) and cleaned organized my room...
For once it feels like a real room that functions and has places for everything... almost... to bad I will be moving out in little over a month and a half... finally got the closet to work as a room... pity, but I suppose now I know I can pretty much live in any space and make it work and function and be cozy and mine.
Off to shopping I went in the drizzling rain, I needed a little retail therapy and was on a hunt for a brightly colored pair of sexy heels, much to my dismay, there are 3 pairs of colored heels in all of downtown San Luis Obispo. Shocking only because there was enough places to look I figured each might have a yellow, green, red, or blue pair somewhere... disappointing, but it was nice to get out of my house and enjoy wandering downtown with Megan. I think it was really good for me to be out of my bed, and away from the stresses of work and school and away from worrying about the interview I went to 4 weeks ago, that I will have to wait at least another week to hear from...
I have been really good at being patient and am trying hard to not freak out about it, but I am a planner, and I have no idea what part of the state I will be headed to in 7 weeks... maybe there is a reason I don't know yet, and I need to realize it is ok, most people are heading home and living off the parentals once they graduate, which considering the economic status of the world, is not really shocking or unacceptable... but not ever part of my game plan. ( I spend a lot of time worrying about this, although I can be very glad my options are both beautiful places along the ocean, something I have realized I grew attach to, and that I really am a California girl at heart)
Anyhow, ended up shopping online for shoes, and after much debate, order, canceling orders, and shopping some more... this is what is on its way to my house....
Ended the day with diner at a good friends house with about 10 of us girls, and it makes you step back and realize that there are amazing people you meet in college and one day, very soon, things are going to change, and we are all going to go off and do amazing things in the world, in very different places, and touch a lot of lives, and we will never all live in the same town, or hang out very often if ever. But for this brief point in time, sitting around a coffee table with a glass of wine playing apples to apples, is exactly the moment I need to live in... the next 6 weeks are going to be tough with school and getting healthy and figuring out the next part of life... but in-between all that I am going to run around, live in the moment, love my friends and savor every last bite of the amazing energy that comes off of my friends. As a wise fortune cookie I got this summer said "Stop searching, happiness is right next to you"
