\u201cSurrender, then start your engines, you’ll know quite soon what my mistake was.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Fall Break provided some much needed time to catch up with some of my friends as well as a brief visit from some family. I was also able to rest my mind and body for a few days after a busy first half of the semester. Between classes, work, extracurriculars, and other things, I didn\u2019t even realize how exhausted I\u2019ve been until Fall Break ended and I had to get back to my busy routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor those on horseback or dog sled, you turn on at the bend in the road.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My friend and I were talking about how this semester has seemed to be especially tiring for both of us, albeit still filled with good times and memories. I don\u2019t aim to wish time away, yet I simultaneously find myself counting down the days until Thanksgiving Break after once again realizing how enjoyable a few days of rest are. However, until then, I have a packed schedule full of midterms and fun fall plans\u2026 even though it already snowed today! One of the albums that has been on repeat for me now that it\u2019s getting colder outside is Tori Amos\u2019s <\/span>From the Choirgirl Hotel<\/span><\/i>. These past few weeks I have connected strongly with many of the songs on the album, but the track <\/span>Liquid Diamonds<\/span><\/i> has been in my head all day today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI hear she still grants forgiveness, although I willingly forgot her\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In my busy Ann Arbor life, I am happy to once again be actively finding myself \u2013 whether it be through friends, therapy, or the ins-and-outs of my everyday life as a student at the University of Michigan. The best I can do is the best I can do, and I\u2019m doing my best to enjoy the ride, from the incredibly busy days to the days on Fall Break that I (happily) did not leave my house. Here\u2019s to more busy days, more restful days, and whatever the second half of the semester brings!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCalling for my soul at the corners of the world.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
