Ah. The past couple days have been good. I snapped out of that odd mood I was in Friday, and have been more or less just laying around the past few days. I got a few things organized for meetings that I've got in the next couple days, but other than that...complete laziness.
The break was really good. There were a few situations in one of my organizations that had me really frustrated and upset back in early December. I went back yesterday though, and was re-reading some of the correspondence and made a few realizations about the other person's perspective and intentions - was really glad that I didn't react to it in any of the ways I was consdering a month ago. She wasn't nearly as "out to get me" as I'd been feeling, and it was a relief to realize that without having offended anyone myself (for once!!!) It's funny how much of a difference time itself makes when it comes to situations and perceptions of them.
It's going to be an excellent semester. I'm so happy with all of the people in my life, happy with the direction that things are headed. I know that I'm not going to have all good days in the coming months, and that there are still going to be times when the thought of getting out of bed is nearly unfathomable, but for right now - I'm content.
I've been thinking more and more about the International Relations thing, and haven't reached a definite conclusion. I should be using my electives for classes that I really enjoy, and not just for something that might look decent on a transcript sometime down the line. At the same time, it would be foolish to shy away from something that could be useful *and* interesting just because of a couple distasteful courses. I'll have to figure out a good way to measure pro/con on this one.
