Cheer up!


Family. Friends. I am alright. People have been calling me, leaving me voice mail messages, sending me text messages and e-mailing me all day, undoubtedly because they are afraid I am at the verge of falling apart. Any second now. My last blog was a very long rant about stuff that's been bugging me for a long time, but it is really not as bad as it sounds. I do feel a little lost, but I am not the girl from UCU anymore, nor the girl who almost lost it during her internship. I have cut down on my responsibilities and take better care of myself, I have a beautiful man to help me (when he's at home, at least :P) and family and friends for spiritual guidance. One of my students told me that a lot of people suffer from the same semi-flu that I have, and I feel a little bit better today than I did yesterday, so I'm sure it's just some sort of virus. And I already feel better about my situation after having written the blog (ah! the power of writing it 'off'!). I haven't even thought about the future all day. See? Growth! So please: DON'T WORRY (althought it's nice to know y'all care :)). But, if there is anyone out there who knows a way for me to take a sabbatical without losing my financial aid, without compromising my graduate studies, without losing my apartment, and without ending up broke back in Almelo, do share! ;) Here's a little something that I always keep in my e-mail inbox whenever I need cheering up. It's a picture Jochem sent me one day out of the blue when we had been dating for about eight months. Cheer up!
