From mountains to molehills


My semester is officially over <insert Kermit flail here> and I now have time to breathe. And think. 

The thinking is a little slow-going, being that I've barely slept in days, but I'm not stressing about studying anymore, so my head is at least a little clearer. I've been thinking about the past nine months and all the things I've done. I think one of my greatest accomplishments came just yesterday afternoon.

What happened, you ask?

I had a conversation with someone. And not just a conversation, but one in which I barely felt uncomfortable at all. And it wasn't just someone. It was someone I didn't even know. I'd never seen her before in my life! But we had a conversation, and I held eye contact with her, and when I laughed it was genuine and not out of nerves.

I could not tell you the last time that happened... if it has ever happened before. It's no big deal for most people, but it's a very remarkable step for me. The perfect way to end the school year, I think.
