I may not be in law school, but once upon a time I felt this way when I was working on my BA. Yikes! I just realized that I'm getting old--eerrr?! And now working on my MA, although I've been an awful student this past quarter. Point of this rant: that I too felt oppressed and powerless at Georgetown one time or another, especially my last year. However, thanks to a theology class I realized I had more power than I thought possible.

Remember: don't let the Man get you down!

¡Feliz domingo!

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

- Marcus Aurelius

Currently..

Currently feeling overworked, overwhelmed, stressed, and pretty much down in the dumps.

I missed today's run and I'm beating myself up for it.

Vanilla latte was gross tonight.

I know stupid little things bring me down, but after a long week it just set me off. yes a stupid vanilla latte gone wrong just made pushed me closer to the edge.

But, you know what really pushed me over the edge?!

A stupid article missing page numbers and I'm stressing over how to cite it in my paper. Sigh.

Good news

Just when I think life can get me down I tend to forget that I do work my ass off to not reap the rewards.

I got a job as a tutor for foster adolescents.

Got my new school placements from April to December. yay for 15 minute commutes!

Taking my teacher exams in May.

Vegas in May for the BFF's bday and possibly June if I can work out a budget for my own bday and Britt's too!

Babysitting Ben Memorial Day weekend! I can't stop thinking about all the cool things we can do and make together! And of course, get some of our favorite froyo!

I've lost a few more pounds, and dropped down to a size 6!

I gave up leisure reading, sad thing really, but glad to be studying for my state teacher exams.

And finally learning to love me for me. I swear if I don't do for it me, then no one else will.

Oh yeah, Ericka graduates in May too! And so does the BFF well June really, but I'm so happy for all the people in my life doing big, amazing things!

:)

Happy hump and pi day!

Because this week has been ridiculous, and I've neglected my writing for the majority of this week. I'm going to pay dearly for it today. C'est la vie. I need to check myself, because, quite frankly, I let myself go last weekend. Lots of ups and downs in the past few days. Can you say emotional roller coaster?!

My attempt at turning around my week, because there's always time, or so they say....
