It has truly been one of those months.

You know, where everything that can go wrong HAS gone wrong.

Between family drama, stresses of school, pressure to have a social life and the hours I put in at work, I really have been exhausting myself.

I would say I am borderline depressed, sleeping every spare second I get, not noting to really face the day.

However, since I am always smiling and positive about things, I would say I am more in a funk than a depression.

To add to it, my original plans come September fell through, making the realization that I may have to go back to the States even more apparent.

After the extreme disappointment I felt the last couple of days, and really not feeling like myself I had a friend approach me at work asking about my most recent Facebook status.

He said that even though I feel like I have to work extra hard for everything, all the obstacles are something I can overcome.

He said if he could overcome his obstacles, at his age (a few years older than me) then I can do it.

He is completely spot on. I need to remember things could always be worse, and if a slight detour in my plans is my biggest concern at the moment, then I should feel bless.

I a living in one of the most amazing places in the World, I have a job, I am almost complete with my MA degree…shoot I even have a bunch of new friends who have my back as well.

So, I am going to take this guys advice and smile!

Smile and move on to plan B with my life.
