Disappointments
I really wanted to go to Echo Fest. I couldn't find anyone to go with, and I feel like it might have done my soul good. I feel disappointed in some people who flaked out last minute and I feel like I didn't accomplish the things I needed to get accomplished. Oh well I guess it's for the best.
Before I left for school this year my dad said, "Carolyn you're going to really have to budget this year. I really mean it. Sometimes you're just going to have to say no."
That's good advice in general I think.
See I'm a lil disappointed in myself too. I'm not getting some of my stuff done because I'm having trouble waking up in the mornings, and getting to sleep on time. I have to be up every morning at 6 to get ready since I have to tutor/observe every day. I was hoping to wake up all of last week at 8 am to tutor but I over slept a few times. I still haven't gotten this form so i can go to this preschool (again) and work. So I told my dad this and again he gave me some good advice:
"Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Doctors say most people need
between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night. Try to organize your days so
that the last hour before you go to bed you take time to relax. I
realize that that will take a lot of scheduling on your part, but I've
seen you do it. You know what to do and how to do it. Try for at least
a part of that hour turning off the computer, the TV and just meditating
or letting your mind go. A lot of stuff may come rushing to the top of
your consciousness, but think of it as a flow that you passively let
come up and pass. Kind of like opening the front door to let everything
in and then opening up the back door to let it all out. Don't force
anything. But go back to your mantra and in about 20 minutes you should
feel a bit of a release. Then if you want do some light reading - no
work - or light, mindless activity. The computer has a way of drawing
you in so I'd lay off that for the last hour of your day before you go
to bed."
SO does anyone know anything about meditation? I'm thinking about giving it a whirl.
also, two years.
crap.
why do i know that?
Gravity Rides Everything:
"In the motions and the things that you say.
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall/right into place
When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I dont see you float away
And all the spilt milk sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place."
