| and so it goes... |

strange. i'm not sure what it is, but life feels a bit bland at the moment... perhaps it's the post-vacation blues. the realization that a week of fun in the sun sand and sea of cozumel was just that--a week-- ending with the inevitable return to the daily grind in smell-a.

maybe its the lack of climbing. my life used to (almost completely) revolve around climbing and now that i am unable to do so (thanks to sloppy poppy), i find myself in a lackluster search for other means of entertainment for my evenings and weekends. sadness, my fingertips have peeled, my calluses disappeared and my strength is dwindling as we speak...

or it could be the recent subtle reminders of my singleness. don't get me wrong...i enjoy being single but sometimes playing the 3rd or 5th or 7th wheel gets a bit depressing and i can only ask so many times to playfully swing between a couples' arms, haha. in the end, we all have a need to connect with someone...out there...somewhere. but who am i kidding, am i really ready to return to the relationship world? ;\ maybe in a few years after some ice has melted, hehe

orrrrr, perhaps its the imminent return to school (2 weeks and 2 days and counting). although i am definitely looking forward to it, i'm almost dreading it because i know that i will be insanely busy and become psychotic student again...haha. mmmm, but looking at the big picture, i think grad school is a welcomed time-consuming event. first step in a new career. excellent.

alas, there is the possible reason that i am just in a lazy funky recovery period after a boozefilled weekend in vegas. at least i was no where close to the inebriated state i was in last year (thank goodness!). it was fun, but definitely different without VC there...

aaaand...i am fresh out of ideas to explain the ho hum feel life has at the moment. maybe its a little of all of the above. aiya life... sometimes i just don't get you, but i know things will pick up. ok, time to focus my energies on the good.

here's to brighter days ahead. cheers (:
