hanging in there

my level of stress has been less than ideal lately. and that means that priorities tend to get out of whack. but what i've learned about myself is that even when i'm stretched thinly, i'm happier when i make time not just for the things that i have to do, but also for the things i love to do that may not be exactly be qualified as a necessity.

so, the leisure reading, guitar, and yes, the blog (really though) have once again emerged from the piles of obligations and ap tests. it's good to be back.
