Hey blog - long time no type. I apologize for not writing more, I know future Auva and present Auva are both disappointed! This semester has been really tough. Between 12 hours of classes, studying for the GRE, applying to grad school, TA-ing at the LBJ school, working for the A2SI project, and balancing all this with an ample social life to end my college - I haven't had much free time. I am in disbelief that I am about to graduate college, time went too quickly thanks to a pandemic that overran almost 2 years of college. I chose to graduate early so I could travel and enjoy a semester off before grad school, to liberate myself. I really hope that ends up happening.
There is so much I plan on doing once this is all over. First and foremost, I am determined to travel, I want to see the world (as cliche as that sounds). I have savings that I put aside just to make this happen, but as the opportunity approaches, I feel more weary that it won't. At minimum, I should be able to spend a month with my family in Vancouver. I remain optimistic that something will come up, either alone or accompanied by friend(s), or perhaps more interestingly strangers! Regardless of where I am, there are so many things I want to do to better myself. Some of these things include updating this blog often, doing yoga daily, running more, painting again, reading so many books, journaling daily, the opportunities are endless! I also really hope to work on my mental health, as I have been struggling to relax. I recall how I used to be - I envy her. She was so carefree and thought nothing could go wrong. Nothing has gone wrong - so I guess I was right. Now, nothing seems to go wrong because I incessantly stress about making sure things are flawless. I hope I move on from this, as I suspect this is only a product of this stressful last semester of college. Regardless, I will either find out that I am perfectly fine and am capable of relaxation and "chillness" or I will have the time to work on myself to get through my recent period of anxiety. Alex has been there for me more than I could ever ask for, and I cannot express my appreciation for him. Anyways - I'll attach some photos of recent happenings at the top of this, just so you can visualize the glorified version of my last few weeks. Oh - and happy belated birthday hun!
