a good day.

Today was a really good day. a really really good day.

after an amazing lunch with Eric and Jason at triple rock, and sleeping the rest (whoops, didn't go to work), I went to FiCB, then taught people from FiCB to swing dance with my new pastor (who swing dances :)). and then when they left for food, continued to dance with others, and then left with marta, with whom I had probably one of the best conversations concerning the ballroom aspects of my life that I've had ever. It's nice having someone like that. we of course, talked about much more than just ballroom, but that's one area that I don't think anyone else understands quite as well as someone who's in the thick of things.

it's late. I have a thesis for my Chaucer paper (woohoo!) and a bunch of garbled notes for my Junior seminar paper. Tomorrow I don't think ill be able to spend time on this until 11pm, and then sunday is church, free (nap) time and then birthday with David.

oofta.

school comes first right? right?

why does Alicia Keys sound emo?

Of course I update when I have mountains of things that need to get done. I've gotten multiple comments on gchat about how I can't have 400%. only one hundred. there is no such thing as 400%. I feel like I'm trying to give out 400% and only succeeding in getting out maybe 30%.

I need to be more faithful to everyone. I am simply a friend of convenience, a non-friend as it were.

Myers-Briggs tells me that I am three of the 16 different personality types. my personality is determined not by large margins of YES YOU ARE DEFINITELY THIS OVER THAT- but rather, at most it's like a 15% difference. That means i'm mediocre. didn't I always say that I wanted to be really high, or really low, but mediocrity is not acceptible? I guess it has to be.

I've been in a funky mood lately. I think I have too big of a sense of responsibility, on top of a dislike of doing those responsibilities that I take on, and so I'm constantly unhappy. maybe not constantly. I'm happy. I'm happy when I'm distracted. Actually, I'm happy when I only have to think about one thing at a time.

Does anyone know why you can't get decaf iced coffees? and it has to be an iced americano if it's decaf? I thought that was just starbucks.. and then just starbucks and tullys.. .but now it's strada too.

This place is nasty

I need a vacation.

or maybe just a maid.

when your best is not good enough

It's funny being told you're not trying hard enough.
I don't think that funny is the right word for it.

(Balls.)

Yay Boo

Yay Boo Yay Boo it's lots of fun to do, I say Yay and I say Boo:
- Being able to wake up early to finish reading (yay)
- Having early morning meetings on skype (boo)
- Finishing assignments (yay)
- falling asleep reading (boo)
- Having 0 unread messages in my inbox! (yay)
- Having a nasty apartment (boo)

technically I'm supposed to repeat the first yay boo chant between each set of yay-boos but I diecided that would get annoying.

I need to clean. but I need to keep up with school first. ew my apartment is soooo ewwwwwwww (and if i'm saying that, you know it's bad)
