School’s Out For Summer

Admit it. Alice Cooper just popped into your head. No? Guess I’m just old…

I’ve got a final exam to administer to my undergrads, then it’s all me for the summer (except for my assistantship). I’ve already written the first page of my thesis! It sucks, but whatever, it’s on paper. Er, a screen.

These past few weeks I’ve reconnected with some parts of me that had been neglected for a very long time. I’ve added a fiction book to my weekly reading, rather than just the countless articles for my thesis and personal development books. I’ve reconnected with some friends (one, K, I almost lost to suicide last week, but is thankfully doing very well). I’ve gotten back to my faith (Pagan—just need to let my Baptist hubby know I’m casting again). And I’ve started writing for myself again (other than this blog I mean).

I’m starting to once again become who I really am, to get back some of what I lost to the years of depression. It’s a nice feeling. :)
