Loosen Up

Last night, my friend Dave had a birthday party, and it was just what I needed to lighten up. And I don't just mean for the evening, I mean overall. It's been weird here -- I've been working hard and doing my best, although the coursework I'm taking, while time-consuming, isn't at all challenging. In fact, in that aspect, it's been a real disappointment. But that doesn't mean I'm not putting forward my best work, because I am. I just wish that my best work didn't ceiling out quite so easily.

So I've been getting frustrated because I've been putting in so much time and energy for relatively little gain, which sucks. And last night, I went to Dave's, had a little "juice" as DJ lovingly refers to adult beverages when story-telling about his college days, and just chilled out. I met some new people, mostly law students, who seem really nice, and then, when the evening was over, I came home and went to bed without setting an alarm.

I still woke up relatively early this morning, went out and took care of a few errands and now, I think I'm just going to go back to bed. The old, high-stress Becky would have thought, "No, must stay away and accomplish things!" The new Becky is going to enjoy the weekend...at least a little. Some work has to been accomplished today...
