Feelings About Next Year

I just finished a very busy stretch of days. I have averaged 5 hours of sleep for the last 4 nights and had very busy days, so I am quite relieved to know I get a little break before the work picks up again. Fortunately, I have gotten through it with a relatively good mood. I'm definitely looking forward to summer, but I need to make sure to enjoy these last few days here at school. The first few weeks of summer will probably be pretty boring now that I think of it, so I need to enjoy these few moments I have this year.

Next year will be probably be incredibly different since I will have responsibilities as an RA. Im nervous about it. I don't know that many of the guys on the floor, which means that they dont know me. I wonder what they think of me at this point. They obviously dont think that I am a terrible guy since they stayed on the floor knowing that I would be their RA. However, I've been getting more excited and less nervous lately. The current RA of the 3rd floor talked to me about some of the guys that will be on the floor next year and assured me that they're great guys. I've met a few of them in the last few days and they seem to be pretty cool as well. I think it's going to be good. It will probably help when I get back into my crazy outgoing mood. Lately I've been pretty introverted (which is probably a good and bad thing).

C.S. Lewis talked about time in The Screwtape Letters and talks about how the future is not the part of time that we should focus on. Preparing for the future is not something that shouldn't be done, but worrying about it is not what I should be doing. As one of my favorite movies says, I should "live in the Now!" After thinking threw my thoughts and writing all this out, I've decided that I am going to make sure to enjoy these next few days. Gotta live out the rest of this year!
