i've somehow managed to push through the first two weeks of school unscathed. classes are very intense right now, and the social adjustment is making everything seem very heady. the summer was so quiet and earnest, and now there are people everywhere, and my "to do" list never shortens.
we adjust though. the older i get the easier it is to be certain that i will get through the next thing, and the next. i have a friend who i love very dearly, who never seems to get past the same problem... i know that feeling, i think we all have it sometimes. times when things just seemed to be lopsided and all wrong, and you find the same thing has tripped you up, again.
but i keep hoping that the adjustments will get easier, and that i will cover each bump in the road with a little grace.
one of my prayers for this semester is that i will be able to handle everything on my plate, and to do well at what is in front of me. i don't want to get tangled up in outside things, and worrying about who to please, and what to do. i know what to do, i just have to keep remembering it.
