Shivering (an update...finally)

It is finally warming up outside, which is nice because I am tired of shivering.

The month of February came and went...school seemed to swallow up most of my time. And in the few hours that remained, I lost myself to mindless pursuits. I should feel guilty...that's what society tells me. But I don't. I think a certain amount of mindlessness is necessary, healthy even. Amidst the insane, sometimes pulling it together for a moment of nothing here and there, keeps one a bit more sane.

I have applied, and am in the process of applying for, several internships. At this point a few grammatical mistakes and spelling errors (all of which I should have caught!) make the outlook seem a bit bleak. It happens. But...all I can do is my best...right? That is what has been instilled in me since birth...and thus I carry on with that looping through my mind in hopes that it is true. I will find somewhere to work this summer. And if I get my way, I will be working somewhere close by and enjoying a true Montana summer from beginning to end.

School...is going. It flashes forward day after day, and I try to keep pace. In weeks like this one it seems near impossible. But I guess these days I like the challenge.

I built a table (this was actually about two moths ago-and I had help). It is more of a nightstand really...it sits on the other side of the bed, and is slowly accumulating things (at this point a lamp, a pen, and a mini stapler that has never worked). And I like the way it pulls my room together. My uncle is improving...having more good days if you will. He has gone home and is working towards a full recovery.

So life is good...things are settling in.
