How young

I haven't written in a while. I guess I haven't felt like there has been a ton to write about. I've been trying to get through my classes and now, more than ever, stuff is building up. Two major projects, a huge paper, regular finals, and just normal schoolwork. On top of job hunting and interviewing, I'm bushed.

I've been going home a lot to spend time with my nephew. Every time I go there, I see the utter joy he has to be alive. I was able to spend an entire day with him over my spring break and it was one of the most fun days of my life. He's a little over 6 months old and is just figuring out how to sit up without toppling over (almost). Ever since he got his tubes in his ears, he has been the happiest little boy. He smiles so big and is so interested in his surroundings. He's learning how to eat fruit and vegetables and absolutely loves all of it.

How is it possible that an almost 22 year old can learn from a 6 month old? I look at him and wish I could have that kind of optimism that he has for life. He is afraid of nothing and has the best attitude about everything. Plus, he's got awesome style (courtesy of me...who else?). It's amazing how much I look up to a 6 month old. I can't wait till he can look up to me.
