Day 250

I have had a moment of sheer happiness, and I am so thankful for it.

While I know that I should be doing whatever is that I actually do at work, I have been working on my master's thesis instead. I've been writing, thinking, analyzing, editing, listening to Bach. It's wonderful.

I haven't been in classes since May, and I didn't realize how much I miss it until now. While I have not found a career in which I have absolutely thrived, I have always thrived as a student. Being a student, a learner, is what I truly enjoy.

I have allowed so much busyness to take over my life that I have not made time to actively learn in these past few months. I've put away the thesis (procrastinating like usual), haven't written much and stopped making time to read at night. Perhaps this has contributed to life being so difficult?

I think it's been easy to put these things aside because I feel that I having more pressing things to accomplish, like spending hours on Facebook or Pinterest to "relax." Why do I always forget that writing, thinking, learning does relax me?

Well, back to the happiness. Back to writing. That is, when my boss isn't looming over me...
