yo soy una machina

I seem to be functioning on automatic lately. wake up, go to work, teach kids to talk, read, write english, come home, run at the gym, take shower, make dinner, talk to boyfriend, best friend or family member, read book or watch seinfeld re-run.

last year I might have thought that this was a rut...but currently I feel impowered by organization and motivation. two weeks ago I couldn't have run a mile without stopping if you paid me (as a matter of fact, I had never in my life ran a mile without stopping). Three weeks ago I was eating meat and spending all my money at restaurants.

I think that I'm growing up.

I think that I've finally been able to look at myself and deduce what I need to do to get what I want. I'll be taking the LSAT exam in a month...I've been studying and prepping and all that jazz...it just feels good to be looking ahead.

Last year I was freaked out. I had this awesome responsibility as a teacher, and I had no clue how to keep it from overtaking every moment of my existence. I'm probably still working just as much as I did last year...but this time I've been here before.

so this was my uninteresting account of what I've been up to lately. I haven't felt very creative or particularly joyful...I've just felt hopeful. more than hopeful. I feel confident.
