Since coming back from Russia I have been working in an office on campus. This office is very important because we process all the incoming and current staff and answer many questions about life on campus and other important things that people may ask. But I have been wondering if I want to be here in this place. The last six months was run at an extremely busy pace with no hopes of slowing down (which although makes me somewhat tired, I love) and the pace that I am working at now is I guess what people would call "normal". Last week that was hard for me because with nothing to keep my mind off things and I was really missing my team, but this week things have somewhat managed to fall into a much slower routine...like I get 8 hours of sleep and even though I am awake at 6:45am (all on my own...for those who know me well that is an almost impossible feat) I still have like two hours where i don't have any obligations and can spend time with myself.
Anyway...today I was walking down the very large hill that takes me to the bottom of the campus where I work and I realized that I had nothing super to think about and nothing pressing to do. The revelation was somewhat shocking as that meant for the moment I was truly carefree. Do I like this pace? No! Do I want to be normal? A part of me does, but there is this other part of me that thrives on having a day bursting at the seams with things to accomplish and life to do. The question is can I do normal and still fulfill the desire for adventure and challenge?
Wahooooooo! This is the Sarah I knew was in there! We obviously need to catch up now that you're back! I want to hear alllllll about it!
