Someone Slipped Me A Happy Pill

by @ 8:33 pm on January 24, 2005. Filed under Life | School

I haven’t really had much time online lately. But, I’m still around. School is going to keep me pretty busy, and things are going better at work. My main job function still isn’t all that exciting, but I’m starting to get pulled into other projects. Hopefully, these will make things bearable until I find another position.

I have my first lab tonight. I can’t wait to find out when I’m going to dissect the cat!

All in all, things in my life are going great. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to saying this, but life has never been this consistently good.

However, a number of people dear to me are experiencing trying times, and it is hard for me not to feel guilty about my good fortune. I feel like a bad friend because I’m not letting myself get swept away in their problems. I feel like a bad friend because it seems like I shouldn’t be so happy if people I care about are upset.

Or, do I feel guilty because I have a hard time allowing myself to be happy?

  6. Just remember this: rub some vicks vaporub under your nose when you do the dissection. The vicks will keep the stench of vitrifying flesh out of your nose. If your nose does get fouled with the smell, snort some water because the scent molecules are ’sticky.’

    Just be happy. We can’t be suffering ALL the time.

  7. Be happy. You can still care when your friends are upset even though you’re smiling. :)
