Emotional flurries amid study angst and home-sickness

It’s a month before Christmas, I’ve just had Thanksgiving, and yet I feel angry and irritable and a little low. I guess it’s probably a range of things, from lack of exercise, to the fact that I have so much work – maybe it’s just that I want to get home; all these Christmas songs are making my heart ache for home.

But a heart filled with joy is no impossible thing, and so I’m striving for that. Hoping to be suffused with the pleasure that comes from learning, expanding my mind and further understanding this miraculous life through the reading and the work I have to do (forgetting the stress and the despair so richly intertwined with fast approaching deadlines).  After all learning about humans and their relationship, perceptions and similarities with wolves is, in my opinion, really quite a rewarding and fascinating topic.

So here’s to perseverance, patience and peace – that pointed towards productiveness, I may avoid procrastination and find pleasure in the purity of honest studying.
I decided to collect three proverbs to present; for people to ponder, and to enrich them in mind and soul.
