Good Person Update:

It's been a busy few months of thesis writing, life living, and sanity maintaining (yay Grad School away from home!). I've been overwhelmed by academic work and positive progress. I've done good things: faced fears, given huge important papers, felt like a quality student. Nice stuff. And I've done not so good things: days of feeling like I shouldn't do this, being caught up in homesickness, eating cake everyday. Dangerous stuff (at least for my psyche and physical well-being). I've learned a lot about myself in this whole English adventure, but these last few months have been particularly informative. And you know what? I'm pretty good. I'm a good person. I make mistakes and make bad choices, but I'm a good person. And as long as I breathe and smile and love, everything else will and does fall into place. This is obviously an abridged version of my journey, and I may develop some of this further, but I just wanted to say that I love you all, my friends, my family, my heart. And thank you for supporting me in this life I've chosen, despite the difficulties and the separation. I will write more here, I promise. But for now, enjoy this video. It's a feel-good montage about the U of L basketball program since the Reece Gaines era and it made me smile. It also made me homesick, but I'm learning to deal with that! Louisville First, Cards Forever. GO CARDS!
