Sometimes I need to be an introvert.
For the past few days I've been in my room by myself either reading, or crocheting. I'm about halfway through the Sherlock Holmes book that Matt let me borrow...and I finished a hat (complete with decorative flowers!)...so it's been a productive few days at least.
At heart, I really am an introvert. I find enjoyment in sitting by myself and working on things or reading. If I'm in a crowded place, I would rather "people watch" than interact with the masses. I'm finally learning to overcome this side of me, however. Working in residence life forces you to do things outside of your comfort zone. It's making me more confident about myself. As an introvert I used to just hide behind that and claim that I was shy...or just observe. Now I don't have that option anymore. I've said this before, and I'm sure I'll say it again...but I'm a completely different person than I was 3 months ago. I've found something I enjoy to do, and it's making me into a more confident leader. I'm more sure of myself and I'm finally coming out of my shell.
But sometimes I still need to take some time and be an introvert. So these past few days have been for me to relax and calm down from the stress of the semester.
And I'm pretty damn proud of the hat I made.
(There are pictures on facebook for anyone curious as to what it looks like.)
