As I finish up this first Monday without classes, I find myself feeling happier and a little tired. My sleep schedule is still not quite right but that can be fixed.

I recently read a book that has inspired me and combined with some wonderful conversations at work, life is feeling terribly hopeful at the moment.

The book is called A Sense of the ( Read more... )

I've recently started getting Uncle Rob's horoscope email as I keep reading them and they resonate with me so I'm posting the one for this week as it got me thinking.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Do you know how to resolve an unresolvable ( Read more... )

This one is far too appropriate for today as I look at my list of stuff to do and realize I'm behind. I've had some nice progress on possible summer stuff, the Classics' department is going to try and help me find something. Though if that doesn't come through, I've got two other courses that will work but might be not as interesting. Either way, I ( Read more... )

Today wasn't the greatest day. My stomach's been hurting and I'm not sure why and I just feel worn out. I've managed a solid chunk of research for my internship and discovered that I really hate software systems sold with modules. I know that the idea is all about get just what you need, but it just seems scammy to me. Also LJ has been eating ( Read more... )

I just sorted through a car's worth of clothing and other random things that have been in my brother's garage for about two years and some even longer. A lot of the clothing hurt a bit to look at and realize wow I was that skinny but other things I tried on and went oh you still fit ( Read more... )

This past week I've been having a lot of trouble getting to sleep, my thoughts have always kept me up slightly but recently its been even worse. Normally I'll be asleep by around 4 or maybe a bit later but lately its been more like 5 or even 6. I think I just figured out why, I'm a complete bundle of nerves and tightly wound since I'm just waiting ( Read more... )

I just mailed off my last transcript and actually had a vaguely healthy lunch, what I ate yesterday was rather nuts so won't do that again. I'm so ready to be in a place with young people my age where I can just do more, I hate feeling this lumpish though a good bit of that is on me but location does make a difference ( Read more... )

I hate this, my application is pretty much good and done except for waiting for my NZ transcript to arrive but I know its in the mail. So why do I feel so crappy and grumpy. I was hoping to be using the start of May as a time to celebrate and hope, but instead the weather is grey and I'm having trouble sleeping and I know I'm snappier than I ( Read more... )

This is from today's Washington Post and its got me thinking so I'm going to type it out and try and write out some of the complicated thoughts going through my head at the moment.

Gemini: You have moved into a new phase of life and yet you still feel the same way as you did way back when. It's not what you do in life that needs to change; its how ( Read more... )

I woke up bright and early and discovered that the email I had been sent, didn't include the day so actually all my classes and everything are happening tomorrow. Which is good because I absolutely wore myself out getting there just on time and searching for the classroom ( Read more... )
