Countdown

So I was feeling very unsettled and unhappy earlier, while I sat in my anthropology class. I just didn't want to be where I was, or doing what I was doing. I wanted summer to be here and for it to be over simultaneously, and to never have to take classes again. I left my discussion section to bike downtown and wander around restlessly, kind of looking for a kind soul to tell me what was what and point me in a direction that I could be fully happy with. After getting a coffee and wandering in and out of several cool antique shops/ severely overpriced boutiques (considering that this is a college town), I went into a store called Himalaya Gifts. It was not the crippy-crap souvenir shop I expected. Instead, it was clean and bright and well-organized. I took a look at the books, and I noticed one called "Tibetan Meditation", and it became clear that I should start meditating. The things I was unhappy about are not things that I can change, so I must learn to accept them and be as happy in each moment as I possibly can. I need to calm my mind and chill my body out. And so I am learning to meditate. Wish me luck.
