milkbox is happy!

I’m in a masters degree program right now… and it’s been awesome! :)

Wow, Des… I’m almost at the half-year anniversary of your birthday! I hope you had a good one and I hope the year’s been going well for you. And may the rest of the days until your next birthday be wonderful! hugs :)

Believe it or not, this goal is still ON. In 8 days, I’m going to find out if I’m accepted to the programme.

So… wish me luck!

And hugs for everyone, I know I haven’t been in here in ages because I’ve been doing things instead of just making lists. I’ve declared 2009 as the year that things get done… and that’s what I’m doing.

Cheers, everyone. I hope you’re all doing okay. ::hugs::

I really am struggling with this these days. Seriously? It’s crappy when I try so hard to be impeccable with my word and these people come along who say one thing and go ahead and do something else or the exact opposite of what they say. It’s not even funny. I know I shouldn’t be taking it personally, and that in spite of it all, I should still continue doing my best, but there are days when I’m utterly, utterly disappointed, there are no words for it.

It makes me sad.

But I do hope you had a great day on your birthday! :)

So, I started running again today. Since I’m fitter now than when I started the a couple of months back (and then stopped after about a month due to it getting too cold), it wasn’t as difficult as I remembered my first-first day to be. I remember wanting to crawl back home then.

Today wasn’t a breeze either, but it wasn’t as taxing, and I have better running form because my shins didn’t hurt. It’s all good, and although my body is tired right now, I feel great. :)

Oh, and I’m also using these podcasts. They make timing the runs so much easier.

In bloom. I’ll be keeping this goal for a short while longer, though. But yes, definitely blooming.

It was on Don’t take anything personally again, which is, of all the four agreements, the most difficult for me. But hey, I always get up and try again.

Where you need to be is always where you are.

Love, love, love.

I struggle with the middle two agreements. But I keep going anyway because just doing #1 and #4 have been very good for me. It’ll get easier, I’ll get the hang of it.

(I just wish it were sooner, haha.)

I know I’m late… but I hope you had a great day all the same! :)

I cannot tell you how many times life has managed to get in the way, but this goal is not going to die.

It’s beautiful out these days and this week has been warm enough most days. I’ll start running next week. Yay!

And now the wait begins.

It’s taking me ages because now this is what I want to buy. And, well, priorities change every so often. It’s a reminder that although I want this laptop really, really badly, it’s just a thing and nothing more.

It’s a really pretty thing, though! Heehee.

It’s March and I finally got over myself enough to stop whining and to start doing something. From now on, this is the kind of wine that I’ll be having, most of the time anyway.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

William Blake

It’s a lot of discipline, but it’s done! :) This has probably been one of the most difficult goals I’ve ever taken on.

Temperatures have been consistently getting higher (relatively, anyway), and it’s been in the low positives lately. As soon as it hits about 7°C, I’ll get back on the program.

I’m looking forward to it! :)
