Am I alive?

At times it doesn’t feel like it. I’m so busy with my school life that I don’t have time for myself it seems. I’m busy trying to do things for my faculty, for the students and at the same time juggle my schoolwork. I should be so lucky that I have a functional brain which like to soak up facts.

I’m crashing really hard and it’s not pretty. I’m forgetting things even more so than ever and I’m making stupid mistakes but I’m learning. I’m learning and I think for now that’s all that matters because as long as I console myself with the fact that everything I do is an experience, I think that all the grief is worth it.

I’m going through life in a daze and haze.

My grandma is dying and I’m torn between asking God to take her in peace or hanging onto all her adorableness while she’s here. I can’t see her now cause several states away and I can’t afford to see her.

I feel like crying but crying doesn’t accomplish anything so I’m going to keep my head up and know that everything happens for a reason.

 

Enough of the emo.

 

I did my first ‘identification’ lab test last week. Basically, we’re given a bacteria and a total of three weeks to find out what the hell it is.
