It's been a while. To say that I've been busy is something of an understatement, but I'm back. :) Things have been crazy since I've been back from Russia. My mother and grandfather have both been in the hospital with potentially serious health issues, but luckily, they're back on track. I've also had to fit school and work back into my life, which is always sort of bittersweet. Remember when I posted some of my goals for the year? Well, I'm going to start making good on some of them. Thanks to a beautifully surprising tax return, I'm able to pay off some of my debt that's been looming over my head. I've also been trying to get serious about my health, something that most of you know isn't easy for anyone, especially me. Starting next Monday, I'm going to go to the gym and, hopefully, continue to go regularly.
Another thing that's been on my mind lately is poetry. I randomly started up a StumbleUpon account and it's inspired me to begin writing again. The last year has been easily the worst year of my life and I think that I need to tap into that and let poetry heal me. I know that sounds SO stupid, but writing down circumstances of a situation helps me become more objective, which helps start the healing process for me. Yesterday, I submitted 3 poems to my college's creative writing journal. While it's not exactly legitimate or even taken seriously, it's nice to know that some of my writing is being seen by someone. I need to actually publish something sometime. Anyone have any thoughts?

I think the poetry idea sounds great. I haven't written any poetry for some time and I really miss the experience. I am doing readings, but only old stuff and it's nice to have fresh material.
