First Week Out tha Feds

First week out of school I meant.

Well, the first couple days out of school. I've just been relaxing a lot to be honest, something that I find myself straying away from in the form that I need to be doing more on a consistent basis. There's nothing wrong with being busy all the time, but it's really good to dedicate a day or two just to recuperate from all of the shit you put your body through. One could go about it in several ways, whether it's eating at home for a few days (we should all eat at home more frequently, though), staying in bed and watching videos of your choice (for me that's basketball/hockey highlights or watching skate videos) or just taking a couple hours out of each day at a time for yourself. Ya know, not texting anybody or worrying about who is gonna retweet your last tweet. Take some time for yourself and only yourself, become one with your element, whatever that is.

It's actually the first time I have done this in about a month, I'd say. My dog is laying on the floor adjacent to my bed as he snores louder than I do. I am also pretty damn sure that he farted twice as I was watching Girl, Interrupted also. Winona Ryder, a god amongst women... just saying.

I am starting to see that proactivity in your daily life is really important to becoming an adult. It doesn't matter per say what you are being proactive about, hell, it could be you being proactive about brushing your teeth every morning (ok, if you don't brush your teeth every morning that is a little wonky). But you get my point. Proactivity is proactivity and taking mindsets that you have while you are being proactive in one area of your life can translate easily and effectively to other areas where you need to be proactive as well. Proactivity.

I am supposed to be meeting a local journalist for coffee in these upcoming weeks and the owner of an art gallery in Richmond to talk about volunteer work. I've never actively volunteered anywhere, so I might as well do it in an environment where I feel will be enriching not only to myself but others. And who knows, maybe it can turn into an opportunity in the future.

Winter break has just begun and I am currently loving it. The fact that school will not be here to haunt me for the next month is only but a dream. It's imperative to enjoy these moments while they last.
