Six months.
So, it has been just over six months since my mom passed away. Sure hasn’t felt like six months. The last few weeks have been overly emotional for me and I never really figured out why. Maybe my subconscious knew that the six month marker was coming up (something I thought about the night she passed), maybe it was just a lot of other things stacking on top of each other, or maybe a bit of everything nipping away at me to the point where I just about lost it. Looking back, I didn’t get much accomplished. I’d say I matured a lot though. I’m definitely a much different person today compared to the person I was 6 months ago. A couple people have noticed the emotional change in me, though the majority just sees me as the regular me. I guess I’m still good at hiding my emotions, though I can’t exactly say I’m proud of that.
Things I’ve done in the last six months.
- Barely made it through my spring semester.
- Bought an RX-7 (FC, NA).
- Lots of smoking and various other things.
- Crashed my RX-7 (major damage to the passenger door and frame below it, everything else is ok).
- Got back into photography (a method of therapy for me).
- Got addicted to green milk tea (thanks Janey :p)
- Quit smoking and doing various other things.
- Started working out.
- Started eating healthier to help get back in shape.
- Started yet another semester of five hour, 7am classes (last one thankfully).
- Bought an RX-7 shell to begin the healing process which starts tomorrow.
- Semi-quit gaming. I still dabble in it, but nowhere near the multiple 6 hour streaks I’d put in before.
- Became more serious about my responsibilities.
I’ve done plenty of other things as well, but those things stand out in my mind. I’m almost done with the auto program; I should have one more semester after this one. Hopefully by this time next year I’ll be living in my own roof, calling all of my own shots. Until then, here’s to my mom and a rather interesting six months. May the next six be better than the last, though not any less interesting.
