on my mind

a few weeks ago i discovered
the lizzie bennet diaries.
the last video aired today.
sad.
that jane austen,
she could really tell a story.
i like how they've updated the story,
made it make sense in our time.
it just goes to show you that
some things never change.
there is still pride,
there is still prejudice,
and we are usually our own worst enemy.
and in the midst of all those flaws
people are still just looking for love and understanding.

i've been taking advantage

of this week off 

seminary and school

by walking everyday.

(so far. no promises about tonight.)

my muscles are letting me know about it.

i had to break out the icy hot last night.

this makes me happy.

*****

i bought a GRE prep book yesterday.
browsing through the math section
has put me into a state of panic.
i'm glad i'm starting this early.
i'll need the next 7 months
to get back up to speed!
stupid math.

*****

i've been feeling really bored

and creatively unfulfilled lately.

i've been trying to figure our what to do

to get out of this funk

but i have no ideas.

i cannot wait to go traveling this summer!

maybe a simple change of scene will help.

*****

this week i finished my twelfth  book of the year.

it's a lot better than i thought i would do

with school and seminary and all.

i've cut out so much tv it's unbelievable.

even more unbelievable is how much i don't miss it.

even when i try to sit down and watch something

i get bored.

i usually turn it off and grab a book.

i'm looking at this as a victory.
