my prerogative!
Here is my efforts to display things most positively:
1. Life is pretty sweet. I have a single in a double (two beds, come visit) within a suite so I gotsa common room but lots of privacy. My suitemates are really sweet too.
2. Aprendo mas espanol que el ano pasado! (That might be wrong.) Well, I forget preterit, but still. My professor's so cute. Jewish Women Writers is not bad either, the reading is great so far, although it's rough to participate. I'm like the Lost Jew. And I love most of what we're learning in Developmental Psych, aka Child Development. What better class for me than to talk about babies all day?
3. The snow is beautiful. Light and soft and not too intimidating. No more wasteful cold.
4. I'm a tiny bit better about letting go of stress than last term! This is a huge huge huge thing for me. I just keep realizing that I don't want to close my eyes for the next 2.5 years. I don't want to just "get by" anymore. I need to BALANCE. It's so hard. Whenever things suck with people or life I soothe myself by hidind behind textbooks. But that's not living, and that leaves for no good stories to tell the kids.
5. I have great friends who treat me well, each with unique traits that inspire me in different places. I have silly, ditzy, cute, intelligent, outcast, nerdy, popular, crazy friends, and I love it.
6. I have an amazing boyfriend! Who am I kidding, he's one of my best friends, and it's a constant surprise that we relate to each other so well. He's one of the rare few who sees me at my absolute ugliest and most vulnerable, and still wants me. I teach him compassion, he teaches me strength.
7. I'm 19 years old. Independent enough to do some adult things, but without the pressure of being completely self sufficient. My parents are kept at a distance, but I get love and money as needed. ;)
8. Hopie and Charlie are here, I'm so excited, bye!
