Edwina

My dear friend Edwina, who I've been privileged to know these last 5 years, through a set of really random circumstances, has moved in to our duplex, specifically sharing a room with yours truly. It is wonderful. Even in just the day or so that she's been here, I feel motivated again to care about my studies and get stuff done... with a good attitude about it, I might add. All this to say: apparently I need people who care about me and who I can relate to on an intimate level around (as in living with me) to help me stay motivated, stop focusing on myself, and widen my overall perspective. It is far too easy for me to get caught up in the world of Katie, which can be a beautiful thing sometimes... just not when that realm is characterized by disappointment and complaining, which I'm sorry to say is often the case -- more than you might think anyway. So I guess living alone someday isn't really an option for me since nothing would get done and I'd end up depressed all the time. Oh wait... that was last summer. Ha!
