do wise and important things
Untitled 1 year ago

Did something wise and important at work. Something really big that zipped around the world and the embassies and state dept. But for every thing like this, i do 1000 meaningless tasks that waste time and resources and the environment.


become a super-expert on one obscure topic
Untitled 1 year ago

I don’t think anyone else can say they know as much as I do about Canadian-American treaties concerning water quality in the Great Lakes.

Surgery 1 year ago

I’ve been working very hard on this goal. I have patellar subluxation and a dislocating knee. Which means pain, instablility, and a hard time getting around. I’ve tried physiotherapy, chiropractic and western acupuncture to strengthen leg muscles and help with it, but it’s still very painful and prone to dislocate. My othopedic surgeon says lateral release and medial plication surgery will help, and I’m going to do it, in two weeks. But sadly, with this genetic condition, they say i’ll never run a marathon. Wish me luck.

find the perfect graduate program for me (read all 3 entries…)
well, maybe not perfect 1 year ago

I applied to 3 programs. One one super excited about, but have yet to figure out how to fund it. I’m going to wait for the acceptance before i worry about it. The other two are prestigious, but not exactly ‘me’. Maybe I’ll learn to love them if they give me a full grant. But I’m flying to Europe interview for them tomorrow. wish me luck.

can’t count on him as friend even, and that’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back. not sure why i thought he was the best thing ever. done and done.

ok, you took the plunge and are taking expensive private lessons with a woman from Pont Aven. Good work- now dig up all your old notebooks and notes and read through before next lesson.


be outdoors
Untitled 1 year ago

Spending too much outdoors, considering the extreme cold alert. Should I take this off my list? Is a window enough of a reminder for me?

stop trying to be attractive to men
Untitled 1 year ago

The only mirror time i’m allowed will be dental hygiene related. and no more four inch heels when i go out- that was purely for the boys.

helping others 1 year ago

what’s nice about being quit for over a month is that i can be really supportive to all my friends who are quitting for the new year and share my experiences and unused Nicoderm patches.

i did 2 and a half days of my juice fast. I was doing fine until i got an unbelievable headache in the evening on the third day and had some plums and boiled cauliflower. But tomorrow I’m going to keep to a detox diet, but with solid food (and calories).

side step, side step, twirl 1 year ago

Doing good. First two weeks are the hardest, and I’m dancing right into week two. Spending the weekend in Boston with an old friend, and I’m a little worried of slipping up. Can i do ‘crazy weekend’ without smoking? This will be a true test of my character.
