~:[CH5 - Day 53]: ~ New Beginnings

This year has started off as a whirlwind. It's been amazing, don't get me wrong, but a whirlwind. I wish I could say it would be easy, but with a busy schedule, things always added to the to-do list, and trips and conferences galore in the first eight weeks, it's a little bit of a challenge. This is our busiest stretch of the MUN season and by next weekend, it would have been our fifth straight week/weekend with MUN-related conferences and trips. Over this course of time, I've also been in ten states outside of Calfiornia already this year (passing through one) plus DC. It's been a little nuts and while I've enjoyed it, it's also nice to get back into routine. Today was like my 2016, a little nuts. With so many people coming through today, ultimately, I had to pack up my things and I'm starting fresh. It's quite a hassle, but I guess in the long run, it could be a blessing in disguise, we'll just have to wait and see. I guess some of that was evident, however, as I filled half a garbage dumpster of stuff I decided to let go of. Regardless, through the process, there have been so many people who have supported me, given me advice, came to my aid and the like, many of whom may never read this, but I do appreciate everyone who helped and ultimately, a resolution was made. It's inconvenient, yes, but it's definitely for the best. Cleaning also gave me a little nostalgia and ironically, one of my alumni, Kent, showed up today! It was a great surprise and reminded me of all the great athletes and students that I have that have continued to make this job the best ever. So as tough as today was, mainly the physical movement of things for temporary storage (thanks brother and Diane) while being sick, it was made easier by the thought of those both past and present who make life amazing every day. Let's a raise a toast to new beginnings and the continuation of the amazingness we already have!
