So, I mentioned earlier that I was going to take up running. I haven't yet. Definitely because of inertia and fear of change, but also for a couple of very practical, physical reasons - I'm not sure how much they matter, but I've been terribly afraid of injury ( Read more... )

... if nobody reads this, is there a point in my writing it? And I guess the answer is yes, insofar as people write diaries, and records are useful, and I should base my feelings less on what other people feel ( Read more... )

God, I love May. I work three days a week at a library on the North Shore, in bucolic farm and polo-horse country. Instead of taking the usual route home, or even plotting a highway-free route on my GPS, I just pointed my car vaguely SSW and headed out. Eventually, sadly, I did hit a highway and let it take me home, but not until I'd passed ( Read more... )

So. I have a blog. No, not this. This is an LJ. A blog. I've decided to blog on the weather. Like, what it is on a given day, how it makes me feel, etc. Yes, this might be lame. But it was the best I could do on the life-changing blog front ( Read more... )

A hard year. 2009 will be even bigger. I'll see if I can make it through this program. I'll have my master's degree in May. I'll see what kinda job I am qualified for in ( Read more... )

The problem with LJ is that after I read everybody's entries, I feel like I've communicated with them, and forget that for that to be true, I actually need to do something, too. So if I'm ignoring you, it's only because I feel like I talk to you all the time.

Hi there, podcast listeners. Um, I mean, people who see my LJ when I occasionally post ( Read more... )

Edited: Hm. I guess I'm a little less obvious than I thought. Anyway, answers below ( Read more... )

It is a very strange thing, riding the T every morning with all the other commuters, leaving for the train at 7:45-8:00, out and about at times most college students think are inhuman. Strange that I only ever had one 9AM class, and that seemed early ( Read more... )
