Pre-bed sum up

I'm headed off to bed, but I wanted to share a couple of things I'm pretty stoked about:

1) First day of school was fine. I sat down in my first class and had the feeling like it'd only been a few days since I'd been in school last, and not three years. I also felt a bit of dread... but I'm just going to own it, power through it, take in all the knowledge that I can and stay on top of it. Pushing through situations that aren't necessarily desirable helps to build strength for big situations.
2) My body feels fantastic. Great workout tonight, and I feel vitalized and energized after it -- I was totally dragging before it. I also feel much more buoyant. There's so much great energy there during the workout and the chill hang-out sessions afterward. Everyone there is just fantastic, and I'm grateful to be part of that in any way.
3) My new laptop came today, and it's loverly! This is officially the de-virginizing blog. Pop!
4) I've been feeling pretty down intermittently. So here's what I've decided: I'm going to try and keep my thoughts as positive as possible as often as possible, even if I have to fake it sometimes. That's not to say that I'll be perfect about this, and I certainly don't want people pointing fingers at me; I'm going to do my best and this is my own personal challenge. Positive thought definitely directly contributes to positive interactions and positive outlook. I am my own mentor in the end, as well. Gotta do what I gotta do!

Hope everyone has a great night/day -- cheers!
