Do you ever feel like...?

Something bad is going to happen?


I feel a knot in the pit of my stomach as though some kind of doom is impending itself upon me
in the near future.

I'm just under such stress and its condensing itself into a tangible physical feeling of physical and mental anxiety. Between trying to set up my new apartment, scheduling all of the things I need to do, school, work, social life, planning for the future and paying bills, I'm just nearly about to go insane.

There are tons of other subtle underlying things that are making me feel uncomfortable right now, and tons of things that make me want to have hope for the future. I shall see where all of this takes me.

I wish I knew how to organize myself better and just think things through more clearly. I think that's a skill I lack the most right now. I feel like I've been lost in myself and need to dig it out of some kind of hole.

I'm optimistic. I'll get back to you on this one.

First Post...

It seems as though I've resurrected my desire to blog. It's something that I used to do quite frequently on another blogging site, but, as I became busier, the time I had to blog slowly diminished. It looks as though, "I'm baaacck!"

Much has happened since my last blog post. I've graduated from college, joined a national teaching fellows program, became a kindergarten teacher, started going to grad school part-time, moved out of my familiy's apartment to a cute, quiet Brooklyn neighborhood, endured a lot of highs and lows, and experienced much new learning and spiritual and mental changes, growth and development.

I'm very happy where I am right now. That's not to say that I don't want it to change. Constant change can certainly be a good thing. Hopefully, despite my ultra-busy schedule, I'll be able to update this thing 2-4 times a month. The goal, I feel, is to not only allow others to gain insight into my life, but, once my thoughts are written down and solidified into concrete words, perhaps, I can gain insight into my own life as well.

We'll see where this goes...

Cheers!
