I've been smiling with anchors on my shoulders

Shoutout to that 2 second burst of warm air from the side of that building on Orchard. I don't even care if you're dirty air. I like you.

Anti-shoutout to having my spanish professor tell me that intelligence doesn't seem to be part of my personality. I don't even know what that means?! (maybe that just proves her point...)

If you're touring your mind, you'll get lost every time...

(Talking in Code by Margot & the Nuclear So-and-So's)

my life is a DARS report.
After a very difficult day, I called home and discussed the FUTURE with my dad. I am freaking out about school stuff right now, so I decided to not go to SSC this summer (*tear*) and take summer school instead, so that I have a chance to do the 5 year Masters program for accounting. As much as I wanted to go to SSC, I think it'll be a huge relief to take summer school. I will save some extra money for Spain next fall...trying to stay positive....

ps. when am i going on a traineeship?! it's looking more like after my 4th or 5th year. damn.

I need to go to the store to get some sleep, because I've run out of sleep.

Phew! Survived this week :-) don't know how...

Kinda lame, but I am actually really looking forward to having to work all weekend and not being able to go out. Hopefully I can transfer my productivity from the late nights this week to the weekend days so I can catch up on some z's!!

Sooo glad it's warm(er) out, warm enough at least to run outside without losing feeling in my entire body. Feels so good again!! I forgot how running in Madison is my favorite thing to do...

Excited to make St. Patti's Day treats on Saturday and then watch the sillies on State St. at bar time from Jimmy's roof after work :-)

So I'm a day late, at least a buck short...

(...from the song Procrastinating by Stellar Kart)

so overwhelmed right now. Spring break cannot come soon enough, unfortunately it's going to come after another paper and 4 more exams.

I wish I had either:
a) the motivation to get everything I want to do done... -or-
b) be satisfied with the way things have turned out lately.

To relay a funny little story...
So, last night after meeting with the @ coaches, I sat down in my bed (mistake #1) with my laptop to write paper on capital punishment (due Today...mistake #2). A couple hours later, I found myself out of ideas, 1.5 pages short of the 6 page requirement, and extremely tired (and conveniently in my bed...). So, I had this brilliant idea, and it went a little something like this: "why don't you just go to bed and wake up early and finish your paper, erin? Maybe you'll dream up something brilliant to say while you're sleeping!" Well, I did dream about my paper...but unfortunately, I dreamt that I woke up in the middle of the night and finished it. Not only that, but when my alarm went off at 6:30 this morning, I believed my dream (mistake #3), was proud of myself for finishing my paper (mistake #4) and proceeded to sleep for another 2 hours (mistake #5). this is a case where I wish I had 'lived the dream' ...

I think it's about time I take a step back and reevaluate how much I can handle and how to handle it. I wish I knew how to dedicate the time to the things that are important. I am getting frustrated that I don't get to see certain people, do certain things, or just generally have things go the way I'd like just because I can't keep my shit straight. I applaud you people who seem to have this down.
