Finally Growing Again

Whoooaa, it's been a while since I posted and Blogger went and changed the whole durn interface on here.  If you Google Overlords are listening, I am old and set in my ways and don't like this.

Cranky opening, but seriously, I cannot remember the last time my mood was this high for this many days in a row.  I am SO much happier with my life here.

I seriously feel like every single day, I know and/or can do more than I did the day before.  My days are extremely busy and often long, but I often feel like every single hour I spent on campus was stimulating, enriching, and productive.  I fucking love this, this growing again.  It's so good to feel like the old me after the doldrums of my MS program.

I'm also way happier with the community here, and feel like I'm building a pretty good network.  I'm starting to slowly, SLOWLY but surely find myself relaxing food/exercise routines in order to accomodate socializing along with my work.  I don't want to ruin this trajectory.

I hope you're all well, love y'all.

So happy to hear this! It's fantastic that you are enjoying your PhD program so much and settling in so well.

That's so wonderful! It's really great that you're enjoying it and also able to recognize the personal growth! I think a good network of supportive people is so critical, so I'm really glad you've been able to build that in PhD City. Keep up the awesome-ness!

So happy to hear that you're happy! there's nothing better than feeling smart and useful and productive.

I know we've commiserated about this before, but I HATE the new blogger, mostly just because it looks different.

Hey C.

Miss you. Hope all is well. The other day I saw that "11/22/63" was in paperback, and it made me think of you, and I wanted to tell you to go purchase it, like, NOW, because it is so good!

Hope you are okay.
