Greetings, hobbits, elves, dwarves, Ents, and various peoples of Middle Earth!

(A more or less decent giant of my acquaintance recently objected to being called a hobbit in my posts, so I’m trying to be more inclusive.)

(If aforementioned giant is offended that I called him “more or less decent,” I’m sorry. He probably missed the reference and needs to read The Hobbit again.)

First of all, Happy Hobbit Day!! (I give credit where credit is due, so thank you, PRVZ, for reminding me!) I had wanted to bake a cake or something today, but I didn’t end up having time.

I might be busier right now than I ever have been, because second, I started college. (Say what?! I know.)

It’s been crazy and informative and stressful and fun and all that jazz. I have a lot less time now, but that’s made me reevaluate what’s really important, which is good.

I think I’m learning a lot about myself.

I’m glad I made the decision to go to college (at least, I am most of the time), and I’m glad I decided to stay in Omaha. I love this city so much!

Let’s make the world a little bit better this week.

With hugs,

-Hanna
