Criston and Caleb moved to from Arkansas to Texas this weekend. I also partook of state fair "food" (fried everything) this weekend. And all this week, I've been fighting a cold...and I may also have played Pokemon on my porcuter all weekend thanks to installing a gameboy emulator on here. But whatevz.
I still want to travel. Badly. But I can't while I have this job (though it may not last), nor while I have these pending med school applications. I wish there wasn't such a waiting involved. Now I get to be like I wanted to be before I was so driven. So now I keep drifting towards that other me, and it's weird 'cause I'm just not sure how much it's okay to give into that. After all, I'm going to have to ditch that (or much of it) when I go back to school again, which will likely be next summer or fall. I'm sure not taking another year off.
It's just weird being a 20-something and kind of a straight-shooter who's trying to do well, yet also knowing that I just want to be elsewhere a lot of the time. I dunno. I'm just rambling now. Probably best for me to read some travel blogs and go to sleep.

Right And Good
It's been awhile since I posted (and that's the most common way to open up a blog post, methinks). This will be my first time in like two months that I'm staying in Texas for two weeks in a row. I'm trying to only visit Arkansas once a month. This is because I need to be here. I need to actually transition.
This past week has felt really good. Part of it is knowing that I'm not headed to Arkansas, so I can get to work on important stuff, but I also don't have to feel pressure to get it done. And that's what makes me actually work on it. That and having a more consistent workout schedule.
My med school applications are mostly in. I am just waiting on the doctor I work for to send in a recommendation letter for me. I also have one essay that needs to lose 200 words. But really, I'm mostly done at this point, so I hope that I'll be able to get real work done in editing the footage from Peru.
My friends Criston and Caleb are moving to the Dallas area from Arkansas this weekend, and I plan to break them in by taking them to the State Fair of Texas. I'm just excited to have friends that I know but also want to get to know more. I have so few of those now, and really none in Texas.
Also since I last posted, my youngest sister went on trial and is now on probation.
Anyway, I don't know why, but I've just felt right and good lately. I hope it keeps up.
