I’m in the process of applying to graduate schools. There sure is a lot to do. It also makes it difficult for me to focus on where i am right now; I try to ‘live in the moment’ but that’s hard to do when the moment consists of planning for the future.
Today, Rebecca and I went on the paddleboats at Sharon Woods. She asked me ‘if you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?’ i felt kind of trite, but i was fairly certain that the answer was right there on that paddleboat. It doesn’t mean I don’t want to go see other places, and it doesn’t mean i want to always be there, but i was happy as we sat out in the sun on the lake. It’s good to realize that and snag those moments of happiness instead of spending my time thinking about the future, or about math, or about whatever other useless crap I use to occupy my mind most of the time.
