dragons and blue moos

Its been a pretty good week so far. I feel pretty good. Hopefully stuff gets figured out and school gets better.

Bought a new dress. Will debut it tomorrow for dinner and when i attend the vision performance. Final year!

I just finished watching How to Train Your Dragon w/ Stephanie. It was much better than expected! I want a toothless!

Currently eating blue moo cookie dough icecream. a pint. yum. so much for all the exercise i've been doing!....

yum.

Past is Past.

When people talk and make references to the past so much it makes me wonder if they want to go back or are that unhappy with the present. or just feel that badly about it.

past is past.
present is present.
the two change the future.

I hope I know what I am doing.

Late productivity

Yeah...The weekend in general has been good. Thoughts to self.

Happiness is a choice. It is not always easy.
Some people are annoying and have no tact.
Ignorance is a bliss.
Nobody likes feeling ignored and insignificant.
I don't want to end up a home-body right now, I am too young for that.
I like food.
I need to worry less because there is always something I don't know and I'm going to have to accept that.

3 good nights and more to come.

Tuesday:

• Tried going to Tonic w/ Jennie but it was closed.
• Bdubs had a bunch of old men watching basketball.lame.
• Sushi Nara bar was a good time. We were the only two girls at the bar, had food, and Nagaritas. Anything that tastes good, I drink like I drink water. Bad. At least one was free.
• Went to the library to be motivation for Josh and his homework.
• Was not helpful at all.
• Felt sick.
• Went home.
• Got sick.
• Felt better.

Wednesday:

• LONG DAY.
• Class, lotsa homework, more class, coffee with the girls, Alice in Wonderland (ok movie)
• Brickstreet.
• Awesome.

Thursday:

• really productive

Friday:

• Class

• Walked to CVS/Bank for errands
• Went to Hueston woods for a hike
• Learned to shoot a bow/arrow (I was tolerable...I didn't hurt myself or hurt anybody and had a few decent shots)
• Ate dinner w Josh's family
• Didn't feel all that great cus I was exhausted
• Attempted to nap -- failed
• Uptown for coffee
• wandered some
• then we all ended up at 45East upstairs.
• Another awesome night.

Maybe I should take it slow now, I feel like I've had an amazing week. I'm really stressed about school and grad school but I'm trying to deal with it a little at a time.

It's saturday...now what?
I am sleep deprived. Caffeinated.
I guess I should do homework. Then shower....and we'll see what tonight brings.

Anxious about school/career/life

at Miami:

• I am struggling a lot on exams in a class where I find the material easy to understand. Biochem. stupid. That is just ... not logical to me. I just suck at taking tests and need to figure it out PROMPTO.
  
• School is hard

Grad school:

• WHERE TO GO?
• HURRY UP AND TELL ME IF I GOT MONEY!

CAREER:

• How much am I going to make? I am trying to figure it out. From what I gather, starting salary (within one year) ranges from 33-78K. Pretty big range with room for improvement. I mean really, if I start out at like 33-40K...i REALLY do NOT want a huge loan if at all. I won't make enough to make it worth it. That's why this determines where I go to school.

...Could just be a housewife. ... nahh...

OR WORK, and GO BACK FOR PhD.

UGHHHH.

and Life? I'd like to have more of one soon...before I move to another location and like everybody else does so we're all separated.

Indy art and food

Indianapolis Museum of Art: fun! took a LONG time to go through it all though...Highlight: The exhibit where a big blue rectangle thing looked like a canvas but was actually a hole in the wall. Awesome.

My navigational skills are awesome. Not really. But at least I knew what stuff was called...just not the location? It's ok, we eventually made loops of walking in the rain and found what we were looking for...right next to where we parked. Smart. Fun wandering though, even if parkin cost 8 dollars.

Dinner was awesome.

Rathskeller was pretty expensive for a lot of stuff but its an amazing environment, beautiful (huge) building, and amazing food. those pretzels really get to you...that mustard sauce stuff....made my nose BURNNN. good though.

You get out what you put in. Happiness does take some remote effort.
