Personal: Reflection, Introspection, and Interjection.
Sunday, April 20, 2008 by Lindsey
It seems April brings about not only drastic life changes (for better and for worse) but also serves as a time of reflection. Several of my friends (and myself) have been clearing out old journal entries, memories, and pictures. Seems we file them all away - and yet somehow you come back to them and they're all mixed up again because the last way they were filed is now obsolete.
What at time these past few weeks have been, this past year really has been quite a whirlwind. I'm amazed at all the changes over the past quite-some-time. Moving from the house I grew up across the country, the birth of my beautiful youngest sister Molly Emmanuelle Bledsoe, the graduation of some of my closest friends, the coming and going of a first boyfriend, and now...on the horizon, are so many other opportunities and prospects. College, driver's license, eighteenth birthday, two week Caribbean cruise, career building, hopefully a couple of good jobs, and several other incredibly stunning things that I'm not quite ready to reveal to the whole of the internet.
If you're over about twenty-five and reading this; I'm sure you're saying..."why the hell are you still up at 4:13 AM?" probably even some of my younger friends are asking themselves that. I'm pretty much asking myself that. Yet, here I am. I've been itchy all day from seasonal allergies, and now I'm feeling all achy...just could not sleep for the life of me.
I always write when I've got insomnia.
I was absolutely shocked with the realization that Molly is, indeed, six months old today...it seems like just yesterday I was up at 4:13 in the hospital room with Mom...text messaging and incredibly stressed because the world would come to an end if I didn't completely understand the deeper meaning of some literary work. Annnd...now I've become a lazy bum waiting until the last minute to submit papers. I know, terrible. I intend to get more on the ball over the summer. Schedules are great.
I'm quite excited to be going to Chicago for a few days in early May; should be a very nice chance to relax. I'm going with my Mom, Grandma, and youngest sister. We're staying at a very nice hotel on the miracle mile - and I intend to enjoy the little outing.
I'm also hoping to make it to Arkansas for a few days near the end of May or early June. Would be nice to spend some time with my Grandparents and old friends.
I also had something else to talk about but I'm beginning to drop off now.
More in the morning,
