2012

No worries, this part two portion of reflective posting is bound to be shorter because, luckily for you, 2012 hasn’t happened yet.

- Peru! Heading back to a place that completely changed me and where a lot of bad and good things happened.  Transitioning back into life here would have been difficult no matter what, but dealing with Lily’s death on top of it complicated things.  I can’t wait to see the kids and do whatever I can to help out at the Hogar, but I’m admittedly going back for personal reasons as well.  I leave January 2nd and will be there for 25 days.

- School. My classes are going to get more intense and I’m hoping to keep up my good grades and start developing more of a style and produce some innovative objects.

- Assorted personal: gotta start eating more and more regularly.  don’t make myself throw up regardless of the circumstances. keep taking st. john’s wort- I don’t remember being this emotionally grounded ever and I like it.  make connections and don’t be afraid to talk to people.  keep dealing with the allergies and not letting it get me down.  trust myself and don’t self-sabotage.  exercise because it makes me feel better. be patient and kind.  

 I feel good, guys.  This new year looks good to me.
