Slacker

There seem to be three main elements in my life right now:  School, Work, and Relationships.

And it seems that I can only take care of one of these elements at a time, and that means that the other elements suffer.  If I pay attention to school work, my job and my relationships suffer.  If I pay attention to work, my school and my relationships suffer.  And, as is most often the case, if I pay attention to my relationship too much, school and work suffer.

Right now, school and work are suffering.  My relationship, on the other hand, is going great! Dave has been able to come and visit for a couple days over the past two weeks, and it throws my whole life into helter-skelter, but in the best possible way.

I am falling quickly behind in school especially, and this is not good, as the first term is ending soon.  It’s just that there are too many distractions in a city like Amsterdam for a girl like me.

Sew a project, or smoke a joint?  Draw some clothes, or go for a drink?  Go to class, or take the dog to the park (and smoke a joint)?

Decisions, decisions.  But today is the day that I get my shit together, and so here I go….

this is me getting my shit together.

too much to say, not enough willpower to write

What can I write except things are good?  My birthday went well in Brussels this past week, although it ended with me thinking seriously hard about whether I want to do that shit to my body anymore.

School is going well, and I am getting more and more into the projects that we have.  Now that I won’t be travelling back and forth to Brussels so often, I’ll be able to really focus.  It’ll be nice to sink into things.

Lola seems a bit lonely at times, but we went for a long, long walk through the city in a drizzle yesterday and she really perked up.  I think she was high.

Today I ran into someone that I know from Brussels.  It’s crazy things like that that keep me going here.  He was just there, out of nowhere, and it seemed both perfectly strange and perfectly normal at the same time.

So, things are good.  It’s all about watching and absorbing right now.
