I really think that there's something mystical about the last year in an institution that causes amazing things to happen. Either that or my luck just has a thing about storing itself up until it overflows. Either way, I've got a pretty great feeling about this year.
After fighting for every last inch of social turf over the past three years, it feels incredibly odd to be handed three feet of it within the last week. I've been respected more, I've got my own little group, I'm navigating the social iceflows easily, and for once I actually know what to say when talking with people. If that wasn't amazing enough, I've also been inspired to write and it came easily to me instead of being fraught with suffering.
Of course, things aren't all turning up roses, but that is how life goes and it would be unfair otherwise. It's torture to have Renny so far away from me, especially when I know that she could use a hug from me, leaving me powerless to do anything about it. Besides that, working so much between school and my job is rough, but on the upside I'm hearing rumors of significant raises in the future, not to mention a possible promotion. On top of that, talking to Jon revealed that my efforts have been noticed and I've been marked as a possible caree man. Jon also leaked hints as to just how comfy a salary position at CITES could be. It may sound stupid to some of you, but I'm starting to think more and more that this might be something that I'm interested in doing. We'll just have to see where things lead, I guess.
Anyway, it's been a rough and long day, so I'm considering going to bed in the near future.
