With all the side-tracking, skipping of classes (both regular and fitness) and bad eating habits creeping up on me right now, I have decided to restart everything (again) once I get over this cold that’s caused me to be lazy (taking the bus, and then the elevator kinds of lazy) for the past two days. [...]

I fell ill yesterday and managed to not eat well or exercise at all this weekend. On the plus side, I finished two of three of the readings for my Monday class, on the minus, I felt really bad this morning and went in only to write my test (which went so-so) and get a [...]

I have been stressed out and busy for the past little while, panicking about all the things that are being added to my list. The second semester is always shorter than the first, and that means essays and assignments are coming fast and furious. I’ve been working myself so hard that I got dizzy in [...]

I’m disappointed in myself today. Yesterday I panicked over all the thing I have to do and I ended up skipping two classes. Though I did think it through logically and make an informed decision, I still should have made things a little harder on myself and gone to class, even if I had a [...]

I was riding the bus last night thinking about all the things I have to accomplish this semester, about all the things I want to accomplish this semester — about all the things I want to have succeeded in doing by the end of April and my brain said to me, at the end of [...]

Today was my first real day of classes (though not really, the first day is always ‘here’s an outline, here are my expectations, see you later once you’ve actually done some reading’) and my first day of kickboxing (ow ow and ow). I also managed to eat a good breakfast, take the stairs at school [...]

I can’t believe this is something I didn’t think of before. A reason to change so obvious and long-standing that it should have been one of the first reasons: Because I’m angry at my father and he thinks I can’t do it. I have been trying to make my father proud – an impossible task [...]

Last night the Mister and I sat at our respective desks in the office and worked on our respective things, listening to music and drinking tea. Today I get back to the grind – kind of – taking the bus downtown at 4 for an interview. Tomorrow is the real start up, with classes in [...]

I resolve to use my desk more and not default to sitting on the couch or in bed in front of the TV with my laptop. I will use my desk to do my homework and write my blogs and sometimes just write. I will leave one of my power cords here so that I [...]

It’s time to go. This is 2007, my year to make life happen. I resolve to work hard, think positively, promote myself, allow myself to love and be loved, ask myself the hard questions, especially when it really counts. In a few days one of my biggest supporters will get on a plane and that [...]
