jobs i wouldn't mind having
personal assistant—to someone interesting and with somewhat of an exciting life so that even if i’m working i can still at least live vicariously through someone awesome
event planner—they say it sucks because you can’t enjoy the events because you’re worrying about everything going right, but honestly everything would go right and i would enjoy it because i...
instead of fighting the tired
i’m just going to go ahead and pretend it’s my natural state of being so i need to get over it and do things like walking to class without making myself melt into the floor because it takes too much effort.
because that’s pretty much every single day of my life.
it can be hard to like people sometimes
for a myriad reasons. they could be too nosy, too boring, too unmotivated, too smelly, too short, whatever. we all have weird hangups that never leave us and inform our relationships with others.
that being said, we all need to let these hangups be themselves without letting them overcome us to the point where we see nothing redeeming in these individuals we just can’t seem to like.

“take a bottle for the plane somehow.”
– i woke myself up saying this in my sleep…
so i just left gnc
and when i was at the counter paying for everything, i asked the guy at the register what “dr. joints” was, and he explained to me that it was the best for joint pain while running, blah blah blah. anyway, the guy in line behind me asked me if i run distance or sprints, and when i told him i run distance just for the hell of it, he told me that running 30-60 second all out sprints 6-8...

made dean's list for spring semester.
after suffering through 16 weeks too many of victorian british literature, that’s a huge fuck yeah.
so fuck yeah.

lucky.
never in my life have i felt more genuinely cared about than the last four months. it’s a strange feeling, to be appreciated. i feel like the general reaction to being treated nicely is to do nothing. to take it for granted. we don’t always realize when someone truly cares for us when we are caught up in our own thoughts and actions. six months ago, i made a decision to stop beating...
why
why does it have to be about having the newest and the best and the prettiest anything? when did we lose appreciation for the simple act of living? maybe i’m just young and naive, but i’m not excited for the things i’m going to be able to have when i’m older. my motivation for living isn’t working so i can buy stuff, it’s the excitement i get from thinking about...
65.85
number of miles i’ve run so far this month. i haven’t run since last friday, but if i run five miles every day until the end of the month i’ll have run 100 miles in april. i’ve been trying to reach 100 miles in a month since february. i’m probably going to regret even talking about this because now i’m officially accountable.
oh well, summer starts friday,...

on my long drive south last night
i decided to put pandora on “quick mix” mode (which i discovered while on the drive), meaning that the lion king soundtrack was about to meet up with t.i., some country, and the spice girls. everyone’s perfect solo road trip mix, amirite?
anywho, the broadway version of “something there” from beauty and the beast came on. obviously i began singing along, using my...

useless fact#: ?
i’ve had a pair of toms since 2009 and i’ve never worn them anywhere but in front of my mirror, shaking my head, no, no, these look ridiculous. put on some fucking flip flops already.
whatever, i’m getting cheese fries.
i cannot wait for summer
i can’t wait for long runs outside that don’t leave me looking over my shoulder every 20 feet. i can’t wait for lazy mornings and breakfast in bed if i feel like it. i can’t wait to ride bikes to dinner. i need breezy nights on the roof, golf cart rides through the neighborhood, to roll down a few hills under the stars. i want to finish a stack of books before summer...
new plan for the paper
i’m exhausted. i’ve been working on this paper on and off all day. it’s not even 12:30, i know this. i had an unbelievably tiring weekend, it was worth it. i’m going to sleep, leaving about a page and a half left to be written. i have to find a journal article to use as a source, but JSTOR is pretty rockin’ at that so i don’t think i have much to worry about....

for today being
a monday
the first full day away from grant (aka always the hardest)
the day i have to write an entire paper i know nothing on
the first day of the last week of classes
it’s been a really good, stress-free day. of course the last weeks of classes are the weeks when i have the least amount of stress all semester.
next 2 weeks:
today—finish bleak house paper
thursday—autoethnography for lit class due
monday—british literature final/american lit paper due
thursday—intro to sociology final
friday—social problems final/HOME FOR THE SUMMER
why does everything have to be so spread out? why do exams last so long? why can’t i take them all on monday and get the hell out of here?
