Things that are good in my life:
- I have friends who are always up for adventure. The reservations have been made for whitewater rafting in a few weeks, and there are plans to go to a rodeo at the end of June.
- My neighborhood bar. Cheap drinks, non-pretentious people. I need to hang out there more often.
- My parents. They are so understanding even though I just keep messing up with money.
- My class. Yesterday we read the part in The Outsiders where Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold. They were so into it. Today we finished watching West Side Story (since it goes along with The Outsiders) and my class walked around snapping all day.
- Grad school. It's everything I wanted it to be. I'm actually learning information that I'm applying to my job.
- I finally found a church I like in the city.
- My college roommate is coming to visit in a few weeks!
- My small group is going to be reading Sex God, which makes me very happy.
- A lady at work calls me Mary Poppins because I'm always smiling. I'm so flattered- Mary Poppins rocks!
Things that are not so good in my life that I need to stop worrying about:
- Money. It's not like I want a lot of it. I don't care about expensive clothes and shoes- I'm happy if I can afford Target. But I love to go out and do things, and that's hard when you're broke. Also, it would be kind of nice to have a little bit in savings.
- Church. I found a great church, but for some reason I'm not motivated to go every week. It's kind of like working out- you make excuses for not going, but then you always feel so much better when you do.
- I decided that I want to be a reading teacher. This means taking 24 more credits. I won't be done with grad school till next April, but I want to start on these credits NOW.
- I saw An Inconvenient Truth, and now I can't stop stressing about the environment.
- Living alone can be kind of lonely sometimes. But just sometimes.
I hope I don't sound whiny. I just had a lot going through my head tonight and wanted to write it down.
