life is good, and busy

have temp company interview next tuesday, and potential job lead through a friend, but really the things that make me content: veggie dinner with the girls last night, panda dinner tonight, yoga balance podcast (I'm wobbly but it was fun), doing a full 20 mns on the eliptical even though I didn't originally feel like it (go me!), going back for

How was meditation?

[missingwatch]

sitting for 40 mns is hard! Not sure if I ever hit a meditative state or not. liked the quote at the beginning --something about only by being willing to accept the consequences of our past actions can we be free of them. the atmosphere is peaceful, the people are very nice. my back was bothering me a bit, had trouble sitting still / focusing / keeping my eyes open. the closing ceremony was unexpected (and kind of cool, though I could have used some notice). involved chanting and prostration which I didn't expect to be doing. If you don't want to do that, they offer you the option of leaving, but it'd be slightly awkward as pretty much everyone stayed. Also attended a lecture afterwards which was cool in parts and rambling in others and I would have appreciated more if I'd had anything to eat since 11:30 (ended around 7:40) Overall, I have mixed feelings, but I definitely want to try it again.
