Ugh... work and school from 11am to 11pm.
Now, I get to read chapters I - XXI of a
Chopin novel.
Yaaaaay! :/
So, lately I've been thinking that I won't
go off to grad school right away. I'll have
my B.A. very soon, and I'm just not ready to
move away from San Francisco. I'm also not
ready to leave this incredibly challenging
program/stage of my life, and enter a stage
(grad school) that is (presumably) even more
difficult. I am already running on empty.
I make $880 a month, before taxes. I don't
know how I'm even alive. With my degree, I
could probably get a job right off that made
at least $35,000 a year. If I kept living as
cheaply as I do now, I could mouse away more
than 20 grand in a year, and then move down
to LA for grad school. Maybe then I wouldn't
have to work and go to graduate school at the
same time. If only.

I made myself a set of meditation beads (same
general idea as a rosary) a few weeks ago, and
have been using them to help me concentrate on
sending good thoughts/luck/wishes towards people
I love. I don't structure it, just let the names
and faces come to me. Lots of you have come to
mind. It feels good, and it's more relaxing and
uplifting than almost all of the other night-time
routines I've tried. So, thanks for being in my
life. And don't make fun of me, just feel the love
;)
