I've been a little emotional lately.

Okay, a lot emotional.

And VERY impulsive (that's for you, Davina ).

Here's hoping that for once I may actually have pulled it together.

Next year is still a very incoherent picture.  Lots of fuzz.  By taking the path of least resistance, I am securing at least three years of my future, and maybe the rest of it too.

Without a doubt, this has been one of the hardest times of my life.  It's been the most strained quarter I have ever experienced academically, financially, with friends and loved ones.  I'm incredibly impulsive and unsure about everything, but attempting to bridge myself off won't work either.

That's why I come to you, my dearest friends.  I value your advice above all others.  And if I talk about the same topics a lot, that's why.
