I'm reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell for a class. It is really interesting so far. It makes me see success differently.

Today is my day to work on the things I've been putting off. I'm not excited about it. My brain always goes off in several different directions, because I have so many things that I want or need to do. It's hard to just focus on one thing and get it done.

I'm excited about every weekend of this month. This coming weekend I'm doing fun things (miller's, movie, pumpkin patch, corn maze) with Katie, Barbara, and Shelly. The weekend after that is my fall break. I'm definitely looking forward to some extra days of rest. The next weekend is Bethel's homecoming. I want to see the choir and all the people I miss. Finally, the next weekend after that is Halloween. We are planning on having a party at the apartment. We'll see how that goes.

I applied for a job yesterday. I got so stressed out and nervous just applying. It's really freaking me out. It would be so nice to have a real job and not have to worry so much about my finances. I'm praying that I get the right job and meet the right people. I want to learn and grow and use what I've already learned. I want to work with people who inspire and motivate me.

Woohoo!

Tomorrow is payday, and it's really pretty outside. I got some awesome groceries at Kroger, but the organic section sure is pricey. This semester is going by too fast, and I'm afraid of what's on the other side. Oh well. At least I won't have to go to classes anymore. I really have so much to do that it's overwhelming, so I don't do anything. I'm about to work out, take a shower, and maybe read a book outside. :)

The break is over.

I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

I think I'm getting ready for the hardest time of my life. I think it starts Monday. 

I'm finishing my three week break from school. It wasn't too bad. I got a little better at piano, had a fun weekend with my sister in Murfreesboro, got a mac and a new ipod, visited two of my best friends in Memphis, and spent the rest of the time doing nothing.

Now it's time to start my last semester of college and graduate with a Masters degree. Never thought that would happen. I'm 23 now. I think this is my year. I think it will be really difficult and really great all at the same time. I'm excited about Katie coming to Nashville. Fun times HAVE to be had with Katie so close by. 

True Blood is my new favorite show, and Eric is Meekus! That's like... the greatest thing ever!

I'm a sucker for Canadian teen dramas.

I really like The Best Years. I've been watching it online all weekend. Watching The Best Years makes me kind of miss living in the dorms at Bethel. Things were much simpler then.

I've also been playing on the Wii Fit a lot lately. I finally unlocked all the yoga poses.

I'm getting ready for life to get crazy on me again, because I have to move into a different living situation soon. I also graduate in December. Which means I'll have to find a real job and grow up for real. Scary!

spring break 09

This is spring break: sitting in my room either reading, thinking, or twittering. It isn't bad. I'm kind of enjoying the break. It's the first time I haven't spent it on a charter bus. I watched Australia last night with my parents. It was looong, but I enjoyed it for the most part. I saw Watchmen today with Mary and her bf. It was looooong, but it is a really good movie.

My mom had her surgery and got a good report from the doctor. No more cancer.

I'm still learning new things about life all the time. Every second is another decision, and I hate making decisions. I've been studying the enneagram more. I'm definitely a nine.

I'm pretty sure I'll graduate this December. Kinda scary. Life goes on.

Things

It's crazy how sometimes things hit me out of nowhere and make me feel sad. It takes a few minutes for me to recover and change my thoughts to make myself feel better. I start to want to protect myself more and hide away from all the things that I don't like.

In other news, I'm reading this:


I feel pretty alone in this area of my life.

I've also been catching up on Lost Episodes. I'm on season 3. That's the extent of new things in my life.
