long time no see
'Tis true, our attempts to return to lj have largely failed. In general, I feel that when I am writing consistently I am a bit more stable. Last night at work (I've been working full time overnights in the group home since June) I was just so fatigued. It wasn't too much of a physical thing, it was more mental. In four days I take my test for ( Read more... ) -
2009 an inaccurate summary
Following Ethan, I've taken to summarizing my year through recording the first sentence of the first post of each month. So here goes ( Read more... ) -
Finals week will be a breeze
Before I dive into some reading about postmodernism and aesthetics, I thought I'd do a little update, seeing as I haven't been doing that as much. At present, I have this week and another of regular classes before finals week. At present, finals week seems that it will be a breeze . . . because this week and next won't be. Today I had a critique ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
The nice thing about living with a million English majors is that three have them have given me critical feedback on my poem due tomorrow. Maybe I'll post it when I'm finished. -

Exercise? What's that?
I just got back from a lovely run. 'Twas about 3 miles. It was my first run alone in a while. I haven't run since the beginning of June. I love exercise. I kind of forgot that. What if the next time you planned to hang out with someone and they asked "What should we do?" you said "Go for a run." or "Do some aerobics." or "Let's do yoga!" ( Read more... ) -
Babysit?
I'm leaving to babysit in a couple minutes. I will be watching the three children of Wally and Shayna--worship pastor and wife. They'll be going out to dinner. I think this may be my second time ever of "babysitting." Things I am not including are: nannying (did it for a week the summer I was a camp counselor), watching the children of my ( Read more... ) -

I'd like to take this opportunity to remark on what incredible freedom I feel right now. I knew that I was overrunning my life with time commitments and responsibility, but I don't think I fully understood how oppressed I felt until now--in the absence of it. I'm working around 24 hours a week and taking a four credit class in a condensed format ( Read more... ) -
Ambition
There's something about summer that makes me deliciously ambitious. Perhaps it is all the reading--reading about incredible experiences and possibilities. Perhaps it is the newly found leisure time. I have time for my mind to wander beyond the present concerns into the possibilities. Whatever it is, I feel the ambition rising already ( Read more... ) -
Same old.
The other day I really wanted to blog about what I do and don't like about my life right now. I abstained because I had homework to do. I still have homework to do tonight. I was just working on some, and I'm transitioning now from working in the Mac lab to working in the room. It's for intro to Graphic Design, a class I feel incompetent in. I ( Read more... )
