Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I felt anxious. Of course, I didn't realize it was anxiety until I was home, fed and in bed. Obviously, I'm all-of-a-sudden worried about one thing that still hangs over my head ( Read more... )

1. Grad school is going well. Actually, it didn't start out this way. I really struggled in September to find my place in both classes. I received a wake up call when both professors emailed me that I had received no participation marks. Actually, the other prof just emailed to check in on me. And from that point forward I jumped right in. And ( Read more... )

I am a self confessed CBC addict. I love it all. I feel like I'm not missing out on the world when I listen in. I always learn something interesting, if not useful. And the music ( Read more... )

I've always thought that my weight was the thing holding me back in life... the thing that caused me to have self doubt in my career and relationships. Perhaps it was why I kept hooking up with men that felt that they could take advantage of me ( Read more... )

Life is good.

And then I tried to participate and I felt inadequate. People were using terms/words/phrases I didn't understand. I started feeling like an impostor. That ( Read more... )

I never wrote about it because it didn't feel right at the time. But my grandpa past away that afternoon. He died with his wife by his side. He past away with dignity. He had family with him around the clock for a 48 hour period so that he was never alone ( Read more... )

I've been away at play since Thursday. I was at Recompression (local Burning Man event) and did not have internet access. I didn't immediately check my email when I got home either. And when I did check it, there wasn't anything exciting. I did a quick skim and saw an email from a friend asking me I had gotten in to the Masters Degree program ( Read more... )
