I've been up since about 9, and I didn't really get to sleep until about 4ish last night from what I can recall. Social life issues during midterm week can blow me. At the very least, I've gained a little more clarity and purpose on recent happenings from bouncing ideas off some of my friends - albeit those friend's own social lives are far from a shimmering example of excellence, but i'll take what I can get.
I think that if there's one thing I've learned about relationships and friendships this week it's the volatility of them. One action, one word, even one little thought that was seemingly innocent can come back and blindside you on some idle tuesday.
Life is simple. You make a decision to do something, or to do nothing. There's no point in feeling guilty when the wrong decision is made - what matters is what you take away from it. Will I make the right decision? I don't know... but 'right' is in the eye of the beholder. A quote came back to me while I was writing this, I think Teddy Roosevelt said it - "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." I need to do a better job at looking before I leap. Sure, spontaneity is a character trait that I value within myself, but I'd rather look where I was walking than step in a smoldering pile of life's dog shit.
Just my two cents. Back to studying.
song of the night - drake & coldplay (october's very cold mix) - the fly scientist (GREAT song)
