get this off my chest
dude!!!

i think a few people would end up weeping a corner if i did this right now.

i’m soooooooooooo hurt and disgusted with certain family members and some friends right now that i’m in a full-on depression.



Finally Obtain My Masters - Through Harvard
Exciting AND Scary

SO the girl who graduated high school at age 14 and went to college at 16 is not content with not having her Masters (started 4 or 5 different programs over the yrs and stopped). i did a bit of research yesterday and learned that Harvard has an Extension program.

you can take 1/2 the courses online the other 1/2 you have to physically go to Harvard. “HAVE to physically go to Harvard”. well that’s been the dream since infancy.

i’m excited, but so scared. it will be so hard and a bit difficult (needing to be in Boston for 1/2 of it). but i’m DONE with my current life of mediocrity. i’m ready to shake that off and step up.

VERITAS!!! :)



do a free standing hand-stand pushup
to do this...

will require a level of fitness i have yet to achieve. even in my fit days I couldn’t do this.

BUT, I’m strong. So if I shed pounds, increase strength, it’s not impossible.
