Found this in my drafts. It's about my cat.

This is my cat.

His name is Woodstock.

He's 8 years old.

I've known him since he was about 5 days old.

Sometimes I call him "Mooch". (both from the comic Mutts, and because he mooches food off my other cat).

The past 3 days he's been in my dreams.

He's my little sunshine.

He gives me allergies.

we are all something in this life

That's right, I said it, we are all something in this life. Let me explain... If I were to label myself based on the relationships I've had with others, I would label myself as a Helper. It's getting a bit into my personal beliefs, but I believe that everyone is here for a reason. Let me explain why I believe this, and why I think I'm a Helper.

life can throw curveballs like a pro

Let's just say things have been extremely busy for me. I've been going through a lot of ups and downs in the past two months.

The high of all of it: going to Costa Rica for two weeks
The low of all of it: Getting broken up with at the airport

But with all of this comes many life lessons.

grad school and relationships

i was originally going to write about how i'm still lacking in time management skills... but for now i'll skip that. life has been too interesting to talk about that.

as my graduation from undergrad sneaks closer (may 2012! woohoo!), my brain continues to FREAK OUT about the changes that are about to go on in my life

somewhere other than here.

i don't know if anyone else has ever felt it, though i'm pretty sure that someone has.... but sometimes i get this feeling like i'm in this world, but not. better explanation: i'm standing in the middle of a big room, and this world, all the people i know, the technology, everything, is just spinning around me, all of it just a blur. and i definitely don't want to jump in.

it's like feeling like you're on the outside of something, looking in and watching.

quarter-life crisis?

Yep, that's what I'm going to call it, my "quarter-life" crisis. (Kind of like the mid-life crisis... but not)

Lately, with the lovely lethargicness of my senior year of college kicking in, I've been thinking more and more about what to do with my life. It seems that all of a sudden the strong shoulders I have have crumbled, and the correctly anchored head that I usually have has begun to float into the clouds.

New Mexico... the land of community

About 2ish weeks ago I went to New Mexico!! It was beautiful and eye opening. I went down for work, the SCA paid for the 9 of us NPS apprentices to go see each other one last time, and we covered it for work as a "cultural immersion" trip. Asides from cacti, cedar-junipers, dirt, rocks, dust, mountains, mesas, cliffs, beautiful stars, and warmth, I was also able to see something that most of us in the North East don't get to see much... community.
