How I did it
How to visit new york city again
It took me
6 weeks
It made me
ecstatic

How I did it: Impulsively, I purchased a plane ticket and hoped I'd be able to get the time off.  My friend that I hadn't seen in ages phoned me up and invited me.  I knew it was something I had to just do, or else I wouldn't sieze life by the balls ever again.  When I came back, I was still so full of energy that I walked around for hours in parts of my own city I hadn't really familiarized myself with.  It was strange to see how m… Read how I did it…

go to grad school
Untitled 3 months ago

I’m really thinking about a Masters of Library Science. I really think I’d be good in a library. It involves research, detective work, and strange bits of information. Also, it’s a specialized bit of knowledge.

I’m nervous, though. I’m not sure if I can cut it. It took me so long to get my bachelor’s degree…

And I’m really in debt from that.

become fluent in spanish
I think I am... 7 months ago

I realized just now that I am pretty good. My roommate from Cuba and I were reading HOY together and I did a better job of interpreting horoscopes than she did!

My vocabulary could improve, my grammar could improve, but I’m pretty good. I should give credit where credit is due. I’m too hard on myself. Native speakers have called me fluent, and I couldn’t accept it. But I would feel confident in a Spanish speaking country doing just about anything.

run a half marathon (read all 3 entries…)
haven't given up yet 7 months ago

but I had a huge setback. I’m supposed to raise lots of money for the Leukemia/Lymphoma society, but I couldn’t. So I stopped training.

But I will get back out there and do it on my own terms.
