Awww...EJ!!! I'm close by... I know I'm not much of an expert climber, but we should climb. Why? Because the rock says so. I hope you had a semi-decent holiday season, and don't let the lack of structure keep you down!
jessickah:
Yes darling, I am still rockin' the P~Town. You lead, right? And you don't mind someone who can only toprope? (Or boulder... I have a crash pad if you're interrested in some good old bouldering fun!!!) And if leading doth not apply, I can think of a few areas at the Mississippi Palisades State Park in NW Illinois that you can just hike up the bluffs to set up anchors and such. I agree. Once it gets warm, we should make plans to take a weekend, get some time on the rope and just BE... Sounds like we both could use that time. Hope you're doing well honey!
So, how does one collect and reignite internal fire when years have been spent on slowly burning out? For a few years I have been using all the energy I could muster and burnt myself out on every project I though needed help. As Im sure that some of you have done. Now after a year of rest, and a few half hearted attempts at...

Dr. Bob is ok. I can work with him. Some people can't pay attention, but I love the material enough to cover his shortcomings.
I'm not an econ major, though I'd like to minor in it. Biz major.

Some days just smack you in the face with humility. That said, life is good, it's just rough today.
Sometimes you realise your just not as good at things as you think you are. It just reminds me that focus and patience is needed for those things in which I care about.

I apologize. I suppose not having my face in the profile shot doesn't help either. How about this:
Hi, I'm the girl from your Arab-Islamic history class years ago. We used to sit in the stairwell of the UC and talk while eating yogurt and bananas. That was the semester I got a 1.0. Now I'm in a PhD program. Grades, shmades! Shmades.

Now after a year of rest, and a few half hearted attempts at re-ignition, Im trying to collect fuel so that when I can get a spark I can make it last.
Im not trying to fight burnout. Im already there. Im still in the ashes, but Im looking around; calmly wondering where to go from here. I refuse to give up.
Unfortunately, there are time sensitive issues in front of me, and sometimes the ashes call with their soft warmth to stay a while longer.

I HATE MOVING!!!!! 
we were sapposed to be in our place by the start of the semester (a month ago). I'm still glad were getting the place, but moving durring classes and alll the other stuff is a royal pain in the A&$.
Hope all is well with you.
ciao

tuesday morning, waiting for a study group to start.
I feel like if in disguise on campus. I look like a random hipiy kid living floating through school. But I'm 27, already have a degree, but can't teach without jumping through more hoops, everyone else seems so young.
besides that, I'm glad that it's september. it;s the best month of the year here in Marquette....

It's nice to leardthe theories that I've been trying to deconstruct for so long.

When you move into your house, you could always make a game out of it. As long as neither of you has any serious time constraints, you could just take your time and brush up against each other on purpose. Then after everything's all moved in and in order, you two can fuck like wild boars in your new bedroom! Good way to break your house in the first day you arrive, yes?
Good luck on (hopefully) becoming City Commissioner.
And thanks for the cute story about being in the West Side Story play. Singing Happy Birthday is probably what did it. Hahaha, awesome awesome awesome...maybe if I get nervous in Vegas, I'll start singing Happy Birthday, too.

ok, so I'm pretty ood with all the stuff I'm doing community wise, but it just doesn't pay the bills. So i've got this insurance sales gig to get the bills paid, and it works it pays ok, and gives me time to play, if I didn't blow it all with volenteering. Today while down about work I surfed the web and found a job...

Owning a buisness (coffee house) is alot like being in a hyper obsessive relationship. One that you have no life while your in it. it's been five months since I closed the shop and I'm still rediscovering the parts of me that I had to squelch away to keep the business going.

I can feel the cogs somewhere deep inside turning. It starts with a vauge nastalgic feeling of lives lived in the last 20 years. A longing for who I feel I should have been vs who I've become. The feelings will keep building on a deeper level while my conciousness slowly begins lookoing for a release and getting more frantic as...
