Reunions

Visible to anyone in the world

I am having so much fun e-mailing these new family members; it is really taking away from my interest in studying!  I love e-mailing people.  And it is so cool to know that just about everything I am saying will be new to them.  I don't have to be even remotely selective in my typed thought processes.  Everything that I am thinking and feeling can be put down.  The poor people; they are receiving essays on a regular basis. 

I am running on sleep-deprivation at the moment, leaving me more hyper active than usual.  I find myself giggling at the silliest of things, and flitting about the house like a deranged fly, changing direction mid-step, not knowing where I was going or why I was going there.  Jumping up the stairs one by one, swinging on the pull-up bar, and doing wall press-ups off the bottom stair, before leaping off and back on some invented obstacle course.  I am full of energy.  And I blame the reunion!  I have not been the same since.  Every time I think of it my pins and needles start up, first in my fingers, then up my arms, and within a few seconds I am unable to remain seated.  It feels like the most powerful adrenalin imaginable.  Pure excitement, not cut with anything as it usually is - caution, fear, anxiety - just pure excitement.  Were it a drug it would certainly be the one to result in accidental overdose.

Yesterday I ran eight miles and still there was no sign of inner calm.

I am undecided as to whether this is a positive thing or not.  I think maybe not.  Emotions shouldn't be this excessive!  There again, I should be used to the fact that mine are.  It's a shame I can't seem to funnel any of it into my work.  There again, I should be used to that too.  So, I have learnt nothing.  Good-o.
