As much as I love the Wasatch Mountains that border BYU campus, and the luscious green grass/trees,
sometimes I get a little weary of looking at the same thing day after day after day. I'll always be grateful for the beauty around me, but I think I've reached that mid point in the semester when you just need a b r e a k. I need to step outside of all the familiarity in my routine. I need to let loose. I keep myself limited to a 2-mile radius throughout the whole semester. I can sense that the confinement is starting to affect me.
But what should I do? I'd love to go home, but that will need to wait for a few weeks. Perhaps a hike might be nice, or a trip to Salt Lake. Or maybe something as simple as going out to dinner with myself and then a movie afterward. Perhaps I should engage in a project of some kind, like learning a new piano piece (haven't practiced that instrument in forever...) or reading some books I bought at the beginning of the summer.
Who knows? All I do know is that...I am tired.
Two mile radius ALL semester? Man! I have no idea what that's like, it would probably drive me crazy though. I'm glad that you're finding ways to keep sane. You're so ambitious, Katie! I wish I had your endurance, and patience.
ReplyDeleteMaybe venture into SLC? It's so beautiful there, and there's tons to do.
I feel that way all the time. It helps me to go to a new restaurant, go to a bookstore, or paint/draw/be artistic (even if i cannot draw to save my life.)
ReplyDeletethose things all disguise the plain jane usuality of everyday stuff and transport me, quite simply!
