I've been sitting, waiting, wishing ....

So a lot has happened to me in the past month, some good a lot bad.  But I'm in a point in my life where I'm at a quote on quote "bus stop".  I came up with this term with my best friend, Karen Dawson.  See the term comes from being at a point in your life when you can't possibly do anything more than you do, and you just have to wait and see how things play out.

Don't mistake this "bus stop" term for me slacking, because I definitely can't slack.  I have way to much going on to do that.  There just comes a time in your life when your doing all you can and somethings just need to fall into place or something just needs to happen.  I guess this term is harder to explain then it is to think about haha.

On a less confusing note, Junior year is kicking my ass.  I am not getting a lot of sleep, and my days are so long with meetings, homework and classes.  One thing that keeps me going are my residents, even though freshman are a lot of work, they remind me that I can still be a kid.  From the crazy car chases to the late night chats with ice pops or fruit smileys, they are fucking ridiculous.  And I LOVE IT!   By being an RA I have met such awesome kids on campus, from my old residents to my new, I can't walk to class without hearing a "HEY MARY!!".  Its great to know that I have made a lot of friends at Clarkson.  They help me really feel at home.

On a happier note, I have a Pen Pal, Hannah Monk.  It is so nice to get a letter and hear all about grad school.  She really motivates me to strive to do my best, considering grad school is no joke.  Its nice being able to vent and hear about her life since we are so far apart.

I feel like I am at a weird point in my life, but I am still keeping a smile on my face (well as much as possible).

Is Anybody with me?
