hmm
i feel good
i got the abstract, results, and discussion section completed for my advanced experimental research
i've got a late paper to complete, and a new paper for the same class to start
i've got a research paper that i've known about for weeks that i have to start on this weekend
and i've gotta catch up on reading as well for two finals
then i have to make a poster for my liberal arts symposium presentation
i guess i'm not nervous
but i am a little about presenting it to the school
it's probably not going to be that serious in that i just have a poster and i'll be explaining "my work" to people. i won't have to go at a designated time to present..ya know? so that's not so bad.
i got the internship at the dekalb child advocacy center and i'm liking that.
i mean, i haven't started, but i feel like it's going to be a really great thing.
derrick is going to basically give me his car for the summer so that i can get to class and drive around for the internship. he's great.
we had the john lewis event on tuesday. that was a great success. i was one of the two students chosen to chill with the congressman, the president, some professors, and trustees beforehand. i got derrick's book signed, and my dad and little brother came. i was really happy to see them, and it was nice to have the come to an event i helped sponsor...and i guess just see the awesomeness of ou. well the awesomeness that dr. schall is helping ou get to.
i'm really happy about the direction of the school now that he's here.
i've been thinking about SPANK a lot lately.
i guess i'm kind of frustrated with people's willingness to sit around and talk about shit they supposedly care about coupled with their inability to take action.
it's like..."hello over there! here's a medium for change! right here..yep!"
i dunno, i guess i'm just going to have to prepare myself for more apathetic students next year. and i guess i'm becoming more and more okay with that.
i've been working out lately, it feels good.
the dance production that we're putting on may 7th is going to be ass-kickin'.
in group therapy the other day, i realized that lately i've had a really hard time articulating my needs. there have been too many occasions where derrick...or my mom, or whoever, will be like "what do you want?" or "do you need anything" or "what can i do for you?" and i always turn it into a situation where they don't need to do anything for me, or there's nothing unless they want to give something, or anything to basically divert attention away from anything i might need, or to get in the way of me actuallythinking about what i could possibly need.
it sounds ridiculous writing it down, but it's actually happening this way. i've become so set on getting things done and doing things for others (?) that i don't really go inside of myself and think about what i need, what i want to change, what i want to do...on a deep level.
i need to grow in that area.
group has been nice. i like it.
i'm not freaking out too much about money. i'm just going to go with the flow. work as much as i can without killing myself. there's no point in going crazy over shit, ya know?
i might be taking a class at emory this summer. that would be interesting.
