Life Lag

I just jolted awake and checked my phone, it is Monday May 11 at 2:06 am and I’m wide-awake. People, jet lag is real. I have literally slept through the entire weekend and have to be up in 3 hours to start my work week, but complaining I am not. I guess I owe a bit of backstory, not just for the jet lag thing but also for the blog lag thing.

Ok, so it was October 17th (2013 for those who need a refresh) and I had just finished Assignment 1 right? (in the “is that correct” way) Right! (in the entirely sarcastic way). That teacher handed back the assignment to any student who did not have it working exactly to spec which fast became my least concern when my best friend delivered the news that a very close childhood friend had been killed, and I use the word killed with purpose. I would say that time stopped in that moment, but four funerals, two near death experiences, and a lot of exams and assignments later, I can assure you that the past 19 months have passed. I have actually been on a bit of a life sprint it seems, accomplishing personal goals and attaining growth in areas I never thought I’d reach. The “Home sweet home” feeling I got on return from my most recent trip to Asia has placed me back in the present moment, and I’ve missed it.

I’ll spend the next couple of weeks reminiscing on my adventures in Japan and South Korea, and if I stay motivated may just work backwards all the way to October 22, 2013, but we’ll see.
