It's not that I can't think: It's that I won't. I'm not allowing myself to think too deeply on anything because thinking leads to worrying and I have far too much to worry about as is without a deep, emotional dissection of it on paper that will inevitably just make me feel depressed ( Read more... )

A few times a year, I get into a nostalgic mood and look into my past. I'll read entries from old diaries and online journals (though some have become lost, as it is becoming increasingly difficult for my 24-year-old self to come up with whatever silly username and password my 16-year-old self thought was cool at the time) and look through old ( Read more... )

I've come to realize that I'm a much stronger person than I ever would have thought, and I'm proud of myself for that.

The problem with writing an article about running is that running related stuff is incredibly distracting for me. So while I've written less than 300 words, I do have a new playlist for running!

I've been accounting the increase in dreams to normal things, like eating before bed or watching weird tv shows. Maybe I am a little uneasy and it's showing itself in my dreams. Last night's encounter was ( Read more... )

Beginning August 25, my life will look something like this:

-three jobs
-full time school
-vinette
-distinction in writing
-somehow getting everything all set for graduation this spring

This is not going to work out.

So I have an interview tomorrow with the John Ball Zoo... I really hope I get it. The job description sounds incredibly similar to The Henry Ford, and I honestly miss that place a lot. Not to mention I really really need some sort of income ( Read more... )

Winter 2008 GPA: 3.769. I'm pretty sure that's the highest my GPA has ever been. Nothing lower than an A-. I can't wait to tell my parents so that I can hear a dull "good for you" before moving on to some random other subject ( Read more... )
