"Society, You're A Crazy Breed. I Hope You're Not Lonely Without Me."

"Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness an just be happy"

My fortune as a result of last night's craving for some Chinese seems to speak multitudes of my life's current circumstance. Since the disastrious domino effect of about a month ago, I seem to have regained some balance in mindset. I'm somehow managing to survive my 19 hours of classes this semester and all the obstacles it seems to have been throwing out at me, all the long nights of no sleep and disappointments that were added to the mix. Things have been pretty nice of late though. These days it seems as if i'm continually inspired, continually appreciative, continually motivated by my typically highly erratic ideals. I've been regaining my footing, I've met someone that makes me happier than I've been in a long time, I'm rerealizing just how fortunate I am to have the friends and family that I have, and there's the anticipation of the next week spent outdoors. In about an hour I head out to the New River Gorge in West Virgina to spend the week rafting, camping, and climbing. Water levels of the New are supposedly 13x normal, it's dumping snow outside as I type suggesting quite a cold night ahead, and there's the possibility of rain that could hinder the climbing later on, but my eagerness to get outside seems to have only been strengthened. I think I've finally paused from my pursuit of happiness, to finally just be happy.
