How I'm Doing and Other Random Stuff

Hello everyone! I hope your 2015 is nice so far! :)

About Me

I seem to be doing pretty well at the moment. I finished two of the three papers I had to write for uni and I'm reasonably far along with the other one, so that's great. I'm still doing the green smoothie thing and I had some fun over the past few days, too; I played Tomb Raider: Legend, wrote a lot, and went ice-skating with friends, which was totally worth the ensuing knee pain :P.

I also went running twice this week and it was such an amazing feeling to be doing that again. I've tried it a couple of times since my knee first started hurting, but each time I had to stop again. Now, I know that even though it hurts afterwards, it doesn't hurt much worse than after a walk to the bus stop and I do that, too; so why wouldn't I pick up running again? The physiotherapist told me I wouldn't damage anything by doing it, so I decided to try. I love running outside in the cold and I'm currently keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to keep it up!

Other than that, I saw Soldaat van Oranje, which was very emotional, but beautiful as well - it's a musical about World War II. I also got a haircut and I plan on dyeing my hair again soon - black or red, I'm not sure yet - which is just a nice feeling. Like my look is changing along with my mind.

I'm not feeling entire well, despite all this. I feel restless and stressed and I'm not entirely sure why, since everything seems to be going well. I'm worrying a lot about what to do next year, after getting my master's degree, since I don't really like anything I have studied so far and don't want to work in that. I'm going to try to stop stressing and worrying so much, though. If not because it's annoying and unhealthy, then because it will make me fat, haha.

About My Writing

My first real book, Broken Dreams, is almost finished and I am so excited about it! Other than that, I'm working on a few other original things at the moment and, of course, on my fanfics. Still posting Winter Thaw, and after that, I have Until Death Do Us Part about three-quarters written at this point in time.

About Other Stuff

Songs always make me happy and I have decided to end each of my blog posts with a meaningful quote from a song, to remind myself (and maybe you, too) to be happy, to keep my head up, and to let haters hate and not care too much. I always care too much. It's one of the many things I seem to have in common with Elphaba (and the fact that I have so much in common with her was the main reason I fell in love with her and Wicked in the first place).

It's like I got this music in my mind, saying it's gonna be alright. ~ Taylor Swift, Shake It Off
