39 days

39 days until summer. It is right around the corner and is a bittersweet feeling. I love what the school year brings and what it represents to me, but at the same time, I wish I had a little more time to work on the essentials like sleep, the gym, etc., but that will come soon enough.

I am currently sitting in the Empo, a semi-usual event for me, listening to Pandora, writing this while I should be studying for my Public Advocacy test. I am taking a break and sitting by myself, alone, at a time, just doing what I need to do. I am a total introvert, and sometimes I forget that and force myself to be around people at all times. Then I get upset and uncomfortable and cannot figure out why - which happened yesterday evening. It was lots of people, for a long time, and all I really needed was a break.

I plan on lots of time tomorrow to just sit and do my homework. Maybe I just need a day by myself. I don't know if other people ever need that, but sometimes I just do. Tomorrow also starts the compassion diet, which I have started today so that I can end on Friday instead of Saturday. Rice and beans for the next 4 days it is! Today is was very difficult, but I have a feeling that it will get easier with the people around me who went to Nicaragua. I have already had several questions about why I am doing it, and I love that.

Back to studying. There are my random thoughts of the night. I hope your night is productive and relaxing, as we all need a chance to keep calm and live our life.
