| To stop and smell the roses

That is the challenge. I have never been one of those people! As much as I tell myself to slow down, I'm just incapable of it. I'm a very goal directed person, always looking ahead. There are those times where I prayed for time to stop - gorgeous days at the beach, cuddling in his arms without a care in the world, camping with my girls. But those times are rare. I wish that I could just enjoy them as they come, and just live in the moment. But I can't.
I was so upset today. My favorite boots are ripped. These are extremely expensive boots that I've only had for three months, and have worn every single day. They were supposed to be element-proof, which for boots in Montreal is a necessity! And they've just torn themselves open. So depressing. I'm a shoe person - 45 pairs and counting. But these boots were special. I've written the manufacturer and the retailer, and I'm hoping and praying that they can fix or replace them. In the meantime, I will have wet and cold feet. I nearly died on a patch of ice today. So sad.
I spent four hours studying at the library today. It was weird - I almost morphed back into the days where I loved science. I was studying chemistry, and I do really enjoy it, always have. It's like a puzzle. Not that I ever want to take it again... not into the hard stuff! But if I do well in this class, it will help keep my GPA up regardless of the slaughter and GPA massacre inflicted by the rest of the semester.
And why did I take on this fundraising thing? Because I can't say no? Nope. that's not it - I wasn't asked to do it! I volunteered. I think that my ideas are bigger than my capabilities. I'm just one person, and my imagination and ambition could keep several people busy for their entire lives. I only have one life, and I'm busy trying to get everything done.
Did I mention that I'm in the midst of a quarter-life crisis again? I always am - sort of like a late Peter Pan syndrome. I don't want to get old.
I can't believe I'm halfway through my undergrad. Just two years left! I'm going to be so sad to move out of my apartment. I have no idea where I will be for my masters. I'm pretty sure that I won't be in the same city as my roomie or my best friend though, and that terrifies me! I've gotten so used to D being there every day. I swear we could NOT get sick of each other! We are always mistaken for sisters, and we may as well be. We're practically attached at the hip! This summer will be the first time we are living apart since we met in grade two. She's going to be in New York, and then Paris! I'm so excited for her, but sad that she won't be home :(
At least she's coming home for my birthday! And for camping! Girlie camping is a tradition that can NOT be carried out without her. She's the only one of us girls capable of chopping wood, and she is mad good at it. I'm pretty good at getting boys to do it though... but without her, it would not be the same!
I know I'm going to look back on these years, and laugh. Staying up all night studying, hanging with D, watching South Park and staying up all night with P, spending my summers with C, jetsetting the continent! Did I mention studying? Ew.
