The recap.

So, its been way too long since I've posted on this blog, granted, but that doesn't mean my life hasn't stopped moving way too fast. I've decided that I'm not going to berate myself for my lack of organization with this whole blogging thing, because thats not really important in the grand scheme of things.
I finished up my first semester at Sarah Lawrence, a couple of months of late nights and stressful deadlines, but I did it! I also got to perform in my first college show, as part of the one-act festival. It was exhilarating to be back on the stage. I feel like I had been holding my breath since the last time, and I was only able to exhale after I was back. My parents made the drive to come up and see me for the second night, when it was pouring rain. On my way down to the dressing room I slipped and fell down half a flight of concrete stairs, triggering some of my fibromyalgia symptoms, which was very frustrating, so my second night of the show was perhaps hindered by the pain I was in, despite using all of my tools for managing pain.
On the subject of my Fibromyalgia, I've managed to get some of the pain, frequent headaches and exhaustion under control, started physical therapy, and I'm making changes to my diet to try and manage my symptoms.
As much as I love my school, it was such a relief to get home, to sleep in my own bed, to be in familiar surroundings. I've gotten to see a good many of my closest friends, and do a couple of fun things in-between working as a babysitter, at The Sweet Spot gelato shop, and as an intern for an awesome female empowerment organization, called Tigress, that uses entrepreneurship and the creative arts to give girls tools to empower themselves.
I was barely home two weeks when my world sort of got turned upside down... see the next post for more information and reflection.

Thanks for reading, and for going along this journey with me.
