...

Lately for me the days have been flying by. I wake up, go to class, eat, do homework, make a trip to the gym (if I'm lucky), and go to sleep just to wake up and do it all again. I've been feeling very smug and discouraged.

Maybe I need a change. All I want to do in my free time is lay around and relax, and that is not like me. I have lost the motivation I had to use my energy. To use it to better myself, to do something productive, to help someone else. I just need that extra pep in my step- to find something that I really enjoy and dedicate myself and my time to it, and invest in it.

I've also realized how much I miss my dogs lately, as insignificant as that might sound. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and it's terrible being so far away from mine. No matter how I'm feeling, they always bring me some kind of joy and companionship. I wouldn't trade them for the world.
