Musings of a drained nature

ordinarychroniclesSo, just got back from lab.
Recently, I feel like I've been casually observing the slow tempering process by which one learns from one's experiences--alterations in bunches of little decisions and behaviors that can eventually dictate who you are as a person. And I've been seeing it all in myself, and I can't even tell if I am changing or have changed? It's an odd feeling. All I know are the cold, hard facts. I'm taking a chemistry class and lab, and am freaking out significantly less than I ever have before when encountering chemistry. I've actually been focusing and trying to devote time to activities I like, like yoga and reading. I've come to the decision that there is A LOT MORE to me than whatever I'm freaking out about at the moment, and I'd like to have my activities, actions, and conversations with others reflect that. So I'm starting to draw for the graduates (^_^) again, and making sure I spend plenty of time with friends. ;P
Speaking of which, I found a FANTASTIC used bookstore right near Common Grounds when I was with Emily yesterday, and she happened to buy EVERYTHING I wanted. :P I found two of the Myst books in hardcover, and a beautiful old edition of the Origin of Species complete with woodblock prints. I suspect Emily bought the latter mostly because I wanted it. :P She's never been particularly interested in Darwin before now, just old books in general. Hehe. It's all good, though, because she was really generous and let me trade her paperback copies of all three Myst books for her two.
I WIN AT THE TOLLINS TEST! Clearly, I'm only interested in chemistry when the reaction involves pretty colors, shiny things, and precious metals. And also, going to the midnight showing of Harry Potter did me good, because I got a 93.5 on my test. ;) I think I'll go to purchase the next book this weekend.
