anticipation

The cold is the type the chills my bones. I don't know how I've survived the last 20 winters. Monday cannot come soon enough.


Things have been going alright otherwise; I've gotten to the point in the semester when I just procrastinate on everything. I guess it's deserved though. I mean, I'm not a spectacular student anymore and I'm ok with that. I have other priorities, and I think it's ok because I've earned the right to decide how to deal with school. I've decided what I want to do, and I can be comfortable in my ability, challenge myself and learn without worrying about getting a 4.0. I feel great about my life choices this week.

Also, I've been looking at life differently this week. I've started to think about how happy I can be, how things aren't finite, determined, sad...I have power over my life. It's great. I'm going to be fine.

Things, however, that could definitely be improved upon include but are not limited to:
-climate of my home. (moving toward equator?)
-fluency in german (only a matter of a year, hoefflich)
-thinking positively about other people (needs to happen more)
-over analyzing things (do any of these things matter in the long run?)
-demanding respect from those around me in my actions (don't give others a reason to lose respect)
-caring about others (seriously, less self absorbtion)
-sweeping flaws under the rug (should happen more)
-keeping my heart off my sleeve (buy long sleeved shirts!)
