Today, Annika and I decided to go get dinner together, so we walked down to Chom and had a great time. I was really glad we got to do that: it’s not much of a secret that my social life around my dorm is…lacking, to say the least. So going to hang out with someone that has been a constant bestie in my life since we were both born is pretty amazing.
Throwing myself into another 3D modeling project has been tedious to say the least, but also pretty fun if I’m being honest. As much as it frustrates me, I really do enjoy getting to poke and prod at a problem until it turns into something I can work with.
I’m sure there’s a metaphor or an inspirational speech in there, but Annika and I kind of nailed it tonight with this:
Getting frustrated is a sign that your brain is working.
Not that you should always be frustrated—or that being frustrated is always good—but every once in a while, a reminder that your brain is working to solve problems and turning concepts over for you (whether or not they stick) is actually great.
It’s been a good reminder for me: there’s an entire spectrum of emotions out there, and you should be feeling all of them (yes, all of them) regularly.
Woohoo! I guess that’s something I’ve got going for me.
