It’s been about a month since Diary-X failed and I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that it’s gone. Not to say I’ve been in mourning, so much as the compulsion to write has finally overcome the exhaustion of having to start yet again from scratch.

And yet so much has happened that I am hardly able to come to terms with it. This time last year, I was (not to sound melodramatic) but lost, alone and wondering what would happen. Not even a year later, I’m working two jobs, involved on-campus in two awesome clubs. I’ve traveled to Laos and Cuba. I will be in Asia working as an analyst for the head of Economic Strategy in a huge corporation, and have plans to travel to the Philippines. Today I was accepted in the the Order of Omega, an international honor society. I’m being considered for an AST scholarship (fingers crossed!) I’m not quite sure how these things happen to me, but I hope they don’t stop.

Sometimes, it’s just good to be alive. I guess too good to leave unwritten.
