Hopeful? Stressful? Confused?

If there's one word to describe the past week and a half, it would be stress.

My computer broke, my iPod was lost in the mail and I had several personal crises.

I really need to get some actual school work done, as all of it has been put off to deal with multiple other issues. So I'm in the library now... but it's beautiful outside today. Sunny and warm. Well, not warm... but I didn't have to wear gloves biking today so for me, that's warm. And sun is always greatly appreciated. But unfortunately, I foresee a day of indoor library time.

On a more positive note - I've been trying to pick things out to look forward to so that I don't get all depressed about my stressful life and one of the things I've realized I can be excited for is next summer. I don't really have any definite plans and think it would be really awesome to maybe spend some time (a month? two months?) somewhere completely different. Maybe somewhere on the west coast? I think I need to escape New York for a while. Haha, wait... I think I already did that in coming to Amsterdam for 8 months. Oh well. I like California a lot and don't go to the west coast as often as I'd like so, we'll see.

I feel like I have so many options to explore in my life now. And I'm really, really happy about that. I'm so young and there's no reason why I should feel like my life is already planned out or should be planned out. I still want to do so many things and plan to do them.

Okay, procrastination over.
