Breathe like the elephant: long, slow, and deep

About Me

I am sensitive and I take things to heart. I feel like it is harder for me to come back to school, every time I am gone. I want to be done. Alas, I still have one more year left after this semester. I want to move on. There are several places I'd like to visit & scope out, and it'd be nice to have some fun side-jobs for a little while before jumping into a real career. I guess this will just have to wait until I finish school. Ugh.
