Day -165

Its hard to imagine that in the same length of time it takes to complete my college degree (from right now till March), is the same amount of time it takes some people to complete the Pacific Crest Trail. I am halfway through my last quarter of my Psychology degree at the University of Washington (I have one more quarter after this to complete my Environmental Studies Minor) and I can feel my thoughts slipping in the direction of my upcoming hiking spree more and more often. Instead of writing papers on social and moral development I would rather be out doing things that develop those aspects of myself instead. Being a super shy individual like myself this task often proves difficult, especially when my social anxiety kicks in and makes it so that I do not want to leave the safety of the familiar walls that make up my own house. Once I do put myself out there I almost never regret it, people but this is only after I play mental tug-of-war with myself.
