You can credit this new post to M. Chase Whittemore and Scotty B, their nagging has been noted and forced me to start writing again. With that said, I'm glad they bugged me because I really needed to start this up again...and hopefully keep it up this time. My problem is that in the past I felt as though I needed to say something deep or profound on my blog. I have since realized that "being profound" is not a necessary part of blogging. So here we go again, welcome to my life...
I am in the process of what one might call an existential crisis. I tend to have these about three times a year. Houghton is good at cultivating them. It's hard to stay positive and focused on your goals in a place that is so far removed from the rest of the world that it seems sometimes that you are in a never ending black hole of academics and sub-zero weather. I say this all in jest of course; but it does get frustrating, especially for someone like me. I know what I want to do and I am struggling to figure out what my purpose is here at Houghton. I feel as though I am here just to go through the motions, which is quite frustrating. I feel like I need a jump-start, something that will get me excited again. I don't know what that "jump-start" would look like, but I'm searching. Until that time I'll have to tough it out and look for the good in life. It's good to be back.
Peace and love.
