I am not sure if I have ever had so much homework/studying to do in my entire life. I currently have two pieces of computer paper packed full of assignments that need to be completed, chapters to read, tests to study for, articles to write, meetings to attend, etc. It is going to be a crazy last month of school - I feel it already.
I wanted to share a new music discovery with you all. Mark & James are two guys who I found via Pandora and have become obsessed with over the past week. I just bought their CD "Hello, I Love You & Goodbye" on iTunes - I highly, highly recommend them to anyone who likes acoustic music and peaceful voices.
This is the only website I can find with some of their music to preview, so here you go: http://www.last.fm/music/Mark%2B%2526%2BJames
Price is Right and My Own Way are my two favorite songs - check them out.
"The games we play, trying to figure out all our mistakes, the clock is ticking - coming to sweep me away. You are the only friend I need - I guess it's the price I'll pay..."

starting over
There are a lot of times in my life where I wish I could start over, or maybe more accurately, move on. Luckily, I have found the time and place in my life where I can do that and I am grabbing that opportunity and approaching it with full force. When new chapters of your life open up, it is a beautiful gift. You have a new outlook on life. I am suddenly more driven, more passionate, more excited, and more ready-than-ever to tackle whatever comes my way. I do not look in only one direction for joy and happiness - I look in several.
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." - Albert Einstein
Never stop questioning.
To me, ceasing to question life will lead to an overwhelming abundance of sameness and routine from day-to-day.
"Maybe mistakes are what make our fate...without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities. People come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always there in your heat." -Anonymous
Don't settle for anything; continue to question your life daily as it continues to move around you. Find what interests you. Start over. Carve new paths. See whose paths yours matches up to. Share their stories. This is what life is all about - carving new paths to see where the next one will lead you.

I said I wouldn't do it...
Yes, Blog #1 is back to stay.
I know I started a new blog, but it just wasn't up to par with this one. I found myself trying to remember what I talked about on my "old" blog, but it just wasn't working out for me. I had a few worthy posts, but nothing to really brag about. Now, some posts that I have had on here have been so good (I think) that I have even amazed myself - and that is what I want to continue doing. Here is a sign...I just turned on my Pandora and one of my favorite songs "Begin Again" by Colbie Caillat just come on - I am here to stay. I am loyal to one blog and one blog only. "The written journey" just could not compete with "the real journey" it just was not happening. I sort of have a problem, in some cases, with that - staying loyal to what I am comfortable with. Is that a problem? It might be.
It feels good to be back to my old blog - as weird as that may sound. I made some adjustments and updated the colors for spring, as well as changed the picture (taken by Rachel Dinkins I may add).
That is all for now. I am getting over being sick - even though I just ran two miles, whoops! I have been at the math empo all day doing work, so now I am going to make some tea and watch a quality chick flick, The Holiday, my favorite movie of all time.
Goodnight, all.
