(no subject)
i've realized a few things, the most recent being that although we (or i in this case) may wake up in the morning saying "ok, today is a day for change - things are going to be different from now on" and trying to make a large shift in lifestyle based solely on the birth of a new day - well this doesn't work so well. trying to make that personal epiphany occur almost at random is easier said than done. i guess the best way to make a change and to get things done is to do them little by little and just take a small bite out each day, so as i try to get things done, i'm just doing them at my leisure.
as for goals of vacation:
get in shape (again, at my leisure)
draw atleast 10 minutes everyday (yet to be started)
finish the magazine articles and emails that are still hanging over my head
figure out a bunch of schooling crap that is on the horizon
so yeah, i'm going to try to get a move on, slowly but surely. as for fun activities, i do NOT count visiting and trying to brave my way through the maine mall as any sort of "fun" but it was good to spend time with allegra. i saw margo today in DEMO of all places, which was good and odd but if anything i now have more reason to visit the portland crew (which i am THOROUGHLY looking forward to doing at some point) todd and brenna (along with both ms vennell and di) have been my social saviors, and hopefully we can get creative for new years and maybe get out of the state at some point to cause some collegiate-esque trouble.
tomorrow i'm going snowboarding which may sound fun, but i'm actually mildly dreading it/nervous about it. i haven't gone in about 2 years and my snowpants and my good snowboarding jacket are both at school so i'm just putting together a makeshift outfit and just PRAYING that by the grace of jesus and mary, that i don't end up with a broken leg or a fractured wrist. no fun.
i think i'm going to start a new journal at some point. a rebirth of sorts i guess
