Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.

here’s to November.

12:23am

blogging is silly.

My room is filthy. I have no homework done. I have a meeting in 10 minutes. I sat in traffic for an hour and a half on the way back from my internship.

That’s irrelevant.

I am healthy. I am educated. I finished my daunting 7 page philosophy paper at 6 this morning with 2 extra pages. I got a ton of new music today. I am listening to Colbie Caillat. I have four best friends. I have confidence. I have a meeting in 10 minutes with someone I want to have a meeting with.

I am happy.

Two little kids just came to my door to trick or treat and I didn't have any candy for them.

I said they could have my ghost Peeps, but the dad (dressed as a fireman, mind you) told them to say “no, thank you” and walk away.

I was saddened. I’m never getting rid of those damn marshmallows.

To be in conflict is to be emotionally activated.

In some abstract way, it shows that we care.

Never let yourself get backed into a corner.
In other words, take your time making decisions. I learned this one today. Don’t be pressured to do something you don’t feel 100 percent comfortable doing. Follow your gut. At the end of the day, the only person you have to live with is yourself. Think it out and don’t do something you might later regret.

Currently:

  • Making a list. I’ve made lists all day today because I had a mini/not so mini break down this afternoon. Somehow, planning out my day directly down to the hour has some kind of calming effect for me. Do I follow those time restrictions? No. For instance, according to my play by play calendar, I should be at the gym. Clearly, not even close.
  • Listening to NPR. I usually have NPR playing in the background while I study. I think I mostly just like having the sound of people talking in the background. Plus, I hear a good story every now and then.
  • Preparing to register myself for classes. My LAST SEMESTER of classes. Oh gawd. Looking to take: group communication, food science and nutrition, PR case studies, the Tibetan Buddhist retreat during interterm, and hopefully sociology of death and dying w/ Barny McGrane. I also am thinking about taking an anatomy class.
  • Freezing my butt off. It’s 32 degrees outside. I am wrapped in a fuzzy blanket.
  • About to go make some hot green tea. I might have to go to Starbucks, depending on how focused I have to be. THEN…
  • Off to find 5 research articles for my senior seminar final project on organizational conflict. I bet I’ve endured enough organizational conflict to summarize every study ever done.
