Time and Relativity

I lied. This post has nothing to do with physics. The last few weeks have seem to flown by. Even the weekends, when I mostly just sit around doing nothing (I really do need this just quite mental break), seem to go by so quickly. I can't believe that it's been a month since I've last written something, and we're almost at the end of October.

In the past month, time has been such a relative concept. It seems like I never have enough time to do anything. I find myself spending so much time trying to finish homework; I seem to barely parcel out enough time for research and running/myself. I have become increasingly caffeine driven (the ubiquity of Starbucks and other coffee brands being right around the corner, literally, is not helping at all). At the same time, I have impressed myself by how much I can accomplish and how much I have learned from my classes, classmates, and friends. I have learned so much from my classes; things that I thought were reserved for the specialists who considered those skills trade secrets. From my classmates, I have learned so much about balance in life, and from my friends, I have I still have left to learn.

I have been able to maintain a very strong friendship with my friends back in Ohio. Thank you technology! Between Google Hangouts with my old club, IMing friends, text messaging, fitness trackers, I fee like I'm still with them but just delayed on getting all the inside jokes.

Overall, I'm pretty happy, except when I feel like I have to grind out homework so I can finally do other things.

--Edit:

That was a very scatterbrained and vague post.

I'm so happy for two of my bests who got engaged (to each other)! I wish many, many happy years to you guys.

Grad school is going well. I had a really rough and draining week, a couple of weeks ago, but luckily my classmates and closest friends in NY talked me through it. Sometimes, I'm really happy that I'm the youngest of the group.
