Though they'll try to stop you, Always Dance

• Judge me all you want, I don't regret watching the three "A Very Potter Musicals", long as they were, because some of those songs have just been in my head in a good way. I like a lot of them, but the ones I can think of now are "Everything Ends", "Missing You", and especially "Always Dance". Always Dance (different video) is a song that sort of motivates me, weird as that may be to say.
• I still need to be better about eating and exercise. I did run today for 20 minutes sort of intensely, but it doesn't make up for how little I do in general.
• I got a letter from Eric :) He is so sweet, and just so good. I miss that kid.
• I'm really glad I've been able to hang out with one of my friends Sam a little bit, she's really an awesome person to talk to. She has a great laugh :)
• TOO MUCH WITH SCHOOL WHAT ELSE IS NEW
• "You can't hold on to what's gone, don't try to fix it, just move on" is a little ditty that keeps playing in my head. 

Happy Easter!

A Working Spring Break

The past two Spring Breaks have been very fun-- St. George/Las Vegas/Zions National Park in 2011, and an unexpectedly cool (and pretty) trip to Arkansas last year. This year, I have just a few things I'd like to do:

• Get "80%" of my thesis/presentation done.
• Clean my room.
• Work out every day.
• Start caring about what I'm eating again... :)
• Send Eric his early birthday package, it's gonna be cool!
• Study ahead for Price Theory.
• Apply to Hanyang... 
• Do whatever homework /reading before I get back to classes.
• Hang out with a few friends :)

If I could do all of those things, I'd feel pretty freaking awesome. I'm not someone who goes stir-crazy when I have plenty of obligations to keep me busy, more power to people who drove to Florida or where ever though. This year, I just want to get caught up so I can feel a little less stressed when classes start back up. It's been pretty terrible, I kept thinking I maybe wanted to drop a class (because it seems like waaayyy too much for me), but I realized once I complete this semester, I will be done with my Econ major requirements, as well as a Political Science minor. After that, just need an upper-level out of my division, and a "tier three" requirement class, which it would be fantastic if I could somehow take those over the summer and not have to go another semester... somehow, fill those requirements while studying abroad... Not likely, but I can dream, right? All I need is to get caught up in my econ classes enough to feel good about meeting with my adviser/professor, and say, "Yep, studied up for your classes, so can we talk about studying abroad stuff?" Anyway, those are my goals. This was a very unusual week. That is all.

I can't write poetry, but... (03-2013)

Another old draft... Not so much a fan of this one, but oh well.

I can put words into short lines, so I did that last night:


I wish I were a poet
To capture what I feel inside
To project it clearly
In a way where people understand and
Know me

I wish I were a musician
And could express my elation, my joy
The sadness, the confusion
In a way that people would hear and
Be moved

There's something very special
About hearing and being heard

Which is how I felt when I met you
