No more blue skies or warm weather.
Sacramento is too depressing. Gloomy clouds and overcast skies. Back into this mundane life at home.
I despise it.

The plane will soon land in Grenada and I will be reunited with the boyfriend. I am excited, I am scared, and I am anxious. As with any new endeavor, the unknowns of this island make me nervous. There is so much I be explored in this new land. I hope it will be as wonderful as it should be :D
I found little sleep the previous night. I was brain dead while studying for an exam. No naps in-between. I slept for a few hours at Andy's house before heading to the airport. On the plane, I have been drifting in and out of consciousness. Even with a lack of rest, I am so ready for this adventure!!! :]]
I hope the people at customs are nice ;[ waaahh. Back to reading now :]
There's so much to say about my trip. I loved the island and it was so much fun. I'm happy I got to spend time with the bf, and it felt like we had never left each other. We had adventures and we explored the island. We also got to bum around like how we usually would at home. It is nice to know we are still able to do those things together, even if our laziness prevents us from going out on some nights! (we often knocked out from food coma and woke up around 3am.. Or one of us would wake and the other would refuse to wake up... Usually me :D)
Reflection post later. I'm just happy and sad right now. Boarded the plane to get from Miami to LAX. Then it's LAX to SFO! I want coffee!!!!!

Turning off the Watcher again. I will begin to churn out thoughtful/thought-provoking posts again, once I figure myself out.

Vietnamese coffee for dinner was a bad idea. It has left me with too much energy. I feel jumpy. I feel anxious. I feel nauseous.
Maybe it was the Greek yogurt before dinner + spicy bun bo hue + coffee combination. Hrm.
This combination of anxiety is too much for me. I have too much energy and too many things I want to channel the energy towards: studying, working through physics problems, reading amazing stories, writing about deep thoughts, watching shows, more running, etc.
I want something more. I always want more. I want to experience all of the endless possibilities of life. There's so little time to accomplish everything. More than often, I find myself sitting still and contemplating what to do. Time passes by too quickly during those pensive moments. And before I even realize it, the day is done. I need to be more assertive with my decisions.
At this particular moment, it has taken about two hours for me to finally write this post. I'm too jumpy. I think too much and do too little.
There's always more to life. Contemplating it isn't enough. Talking about it will never satisfy me. I must do more. I need to constantly be reminded of this simple idea. Sigh. This surge of anxiety is too much for me right now. It's still a good reminder to define passion and drive.
The laziness subdues this feeling. Sometimes, I relish it. Being lazy calms my nerves. But AHHH!!
I want more. I want more. I want to know more. I want to accomplish so much. I'm nervous that I won't be able to do everything in my life.
Right now I want someone to calm me down. But he's too far away. I want him to tell me that everything will be okay. I need him to tell me not to be nervous. I need to know that life won't be such a pain. I want too much right now. I don't know how to express anything.
Been searching for something good to read to fill the empty spots in my brain. GAH.
Turning off the Watcher in my mind to type away. Mindlessly.
Show me. Show me.
I think this song sums up my feelings a bit:
Life: the culmination of desires and feelings, and the willingness/strength to pursue those desires. Actions are so much more. Dreaming isn't enough. This is what I need to be successful and happy.
I know what I want. I've always known where I want to end up and what I want to become. But it's so scary to even get there. The challenges. Ah. The hardships along the way. Again, I need to work on building up the mentality to get there.
Rant rant.
Let's work towards a good future. I want to keep dreaming. I want to believe it will be real. I need to make it real. Small steps. Baby steps. I'll start with doing more homework problems.
Challenges. I know the next two years of my life won't be the easiest. Praying for the strength to endure and to grow from this process. I have so much more to learn. I need to be more patient. I need to be kind. I need to be tolerant. I need to be understanding. I need to know how to accomplish small goals. I need to think about my words. I really need to be patient with my family.
So much to work on.
I am afraid of failing.
