this week...


This week, I started school again and came down to a few truths.

I never thought I would say this, but I am so grateful for my science background. Honestly, I thought I could run away from science, especially biology. Turns out science is here to stay. My film class seems to make more sense because I know something about what makes up an atom, energy and the electromagnetic spectrum. If I never had so much science, I probably wouldn't understand a word of pancakes in my computer science class. Everything comes around in a full circle. Even though I am striving to be an artist, I always want to keep the scientist alive in my soul. Whether it's later going back to being a biologist or continuing the path of being a computer scientist, I wish to think like a scientist. This is the real me.

I haven't met so many new people this semester since my first semester two years ago. I've really liked meeting new people and being with familiar, lovely friends again. While I've experienced heartbreak, I truly believe that in the heart of every person, there are good intentions and everyone is love.

And all I have left to say is...this is where I want to be.

la vie est bonne

"You're a brave girl
It's a strange world, where girls can get so broken-hearted
I'm sorry that in your condition the sun shine's been missing
Be happy. This world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful?
It's not the end of the world"
(Jack's Mannequin, There, There Katie)

When I heard this song, I thought Andrew McMahon had wrote a song for me. After a long day (actually week) of school, hearing these words made me feel all the better. It was a sympathetic call, strength to carry on and a reminder of things I do live, love and hope for. Surprisingly, today has been a really good day. Even with my early morning wake up call. Even with my test. I am grateful for the little things in life. It's easy to get caught up with the worries of the world, but if you take a step back and truly look, you will find that life is good and beautiful.
