Things have been fairly calm. The kids are all adjusted to being back in school for the most part. I’m acing my first class (which I knew would be easy). My second class looks to be a lot of work, but manageable, especially since I decided to drop Statistics. I need to take that class some time when I can really focus on it, not my first semester back in college. I’m really enjoying my time back in school. I feel I’ve adjusted and am doing really well thus far. Granted, it’s still early, but I am almost done with one class and still feel very motivated and happy with things. I’m actually kind of proud of how I’ve adjusted and am doing, not just in school but in life in general. I’m not really stressing over things, I’m learning to actually relax and take time for myself every now and then, and I’m doing what I want in life.

The only exception to that is that I’ve lost touch with a couple friends that I’ve really been missing recently. It’s my fault the contact was lost, I know that. I guess I’ve just let it get to the point where it’s going to feel weird getting back in touch. Although, it would have helped had they contacted me sometimes too. I hate always being the one to reinitiate contact. Usually it takes some crisis to make me call people and talk, especially after a long hiatus. But I don’t have any crisis or any real reason to call, except wondering how they are. I guess that’s actually a better reason to call, isn’t it? I think a part of me is afraid socializing will make it harder for me to concentrate on the things I have to do, but that’s a really stupid excuse to let friendships lapse. I need to focus and socialize, too. I just need to not get caught up in other people’s lives to the point of distraction to mine. Simple… Although, I have managed it very well with those friends I do talk to. And I think one in particular was a very large challenge as I've gotten caught up way to easily in their life before.

I think I’m getting bored with my life again. School isn’t enough, although it is very time intensive. I need a bit more life in my life. I’ll work on that…
