because it's friday night

i think it'd be hilarious if everyone danced like this at parties. who needs the gym when you have riot grrrl music to completely lose your mind to??? hahahah.

where does the time go

i have things to do but all i want to do is nothing. it seems my life is plagued by perpetual laziness. my sister's life is a cycle of classes and womens rugby and research labs and volunteering at the childrens hospital, fueled by an overbearing sense of motivation. (quite the renaissance woman, non?) my life is a cycle of listening to music and reading non-academic books and shopping and napping and eating. my parents always tell me that it would do me well if i emulated my sister's ways, but truth be told i wouldn't have it any other way.

above: sensible julia and psycho-weirdo vivian. apparently not much has changed, though we (thankfully) no longer wear matching denim jackets.

self-efficacy is key

everything will be ok.
everything will be ok.
everything will be ok.
repeat a hundred more times.

need to keep telling myself this, in order to keep total insanity at bay.

calculus is torturous, i may or may not have somewhere to live next year, i may or may not get kicked out of the honors program due to a lack of honors sections (due to my own stupidity; long story)... BUT after three days of bitching & whining, it's time to get over it. go optimism. :)

new year

besides cutting back on desserts (can you say chocolate overload this break or what?) and maintaining good grades, my new years resolution this year is simply to enjoy myself. i've recently come to the realization that there really is no better time to enjoy life than now.

2008 is a tough year to beat. so many good times and so much personal growth... but here's to an even better year with 2009, i hope!
