self-actualized.
i haven't felt this self-actualized in at least three months.

thank you hattie.
thank you mrs. stein.

i don't think there is anything on earth more theraputic than a psychoanalysis at the kitchen table and homegrown tomatoes.

Even though I am not a particularly massive Beatles fan, it makes me happy to walk into every Starbucks i go to and hear songs like "All my lovin". I walked downtown Elmhurst today and I heard all the good Beatles songs playing at the town square outside.

Today i found out that i didn't fail my bio quiz. I thought i had, because the posted grades online told me so. Then in class i found out i aced the test and my professor had typed in someone else's grades for me.

oh, and i quit my job for a multitude of reasons. now i'm probably going to be a french tutor.

i always dread bio lab, but once i'm there, i think it's fun.

learning > school

It's my first week of college, and I already miss homeschooling. It's like learning dies as soon as it crosses the threshold of institutionalized education.

tell me i never looked like this

mais oui

Today in my FYS class, we had an "icebreaker" activity to get to know ourselves better. One professor put a map of the world on the wall, and everyone had to put three star stickers on the map. The gold star represented where you're going in the near future. I picked Chicago. The green star was for your ancestral origin, so I chose Italy. And the red star goes where you aren't at present, but where someone you're close to is. So i put one on LA.
