Alright, real talk.

Did I just say that? I guess I did. So anyway, this semester has had a slow start. I feel as though everything has been moving at a snail's pace, and I've barely been back in school for a month. It's been a crazy month, though.

This month, I: moved back into my dorm, got 3 writing jobs on campus, started my sophomore year, got an awful fever that made me miss nearly a week of classes, had some blood pressure issues, found out that I will likely be going to spend next fall in Washington DC, started working with the youth group at my church, and quit my job.

Just rereading that makes me want to go take a nap. All I have done lately is take 3-hour naps and sleep through half of my classes. I don't mean to, I'm just tired.

It's been tough getting back into the routine of school, but I am steadily making progress. I have been so tired all the time, and it's really affected everything I do. I'm having to make a conscious effort every day to skip the usual nap, if possible.

I don't know why this spirit of fatigue has come over me, but I am determined to overcome it. It has got me wasting the days away, and I can't continue to do that.

So as this school year continues to open itself up with its endless possibilities, I am choosing to stay awake and to take advantage of the adventure life has for me this year.

I can't wait for all that God has in store!

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light." Matthew 11:28-30
