Feminine
I have a simple look, and that’s how I like it. But maybe I should take care of myself a little better. Just so I’m healthier and happier with my appearance. I’ll keep it simple but make it cuter…
Fear
I’m the up-for-anything person in my family. I like adventures, despite how controlled I am. However I’m realizing that I have the same fear my mother has. I don’t like not knowing where I am or where my destination is. I have no problem going to another country on my own, I’ll probably find that fun. That’s perfectly fine. But finding the exit, bus stop, hotel, or...

I need a Moment
Lately I’ve been craving this, but I know I’m not ready. I have to work on myself before I decide to give a part of myself.
You probably think I forgot. I didn’t, I have great memory when it comes to these things.

Positivity
Today has been one of those good-for-no-particular-reason days. Definitely been in a really good mood, despite my aching feet, my mishap on Monday, and the endless list of stuff I have to do. On top of that I started making a real connection with the kids in my 2nd grade class. I helped a lot of them out, had tons of fun, and read aloud to them again. It was fantastic.
Silly Moment: A little boy...

Writing
Every time I get on here to quickly write something, I end up spending hours editing the post.
I had exactly 12 hours to get my work done, organize myself, and still have 7 hours of sleep. Now I have to cut into my sleeping time.
But I’m not the least bit upset. It’s difficult setting aside time to write in my journals, so this must be done. Writing is probably the best therapy...
Some hispanic men
annoy the hell out of me.
Recently I’ve been noticing that some hispanic men (the older ones that I personally know) are so NEEDY! They need assistance with just about everything they do. And on top of that they have a bad habit of ordering their wives to do things for them. They never ask. I guess it’s a given that she will do whatever he says…-_-
The men in my family have...
Social Psychology
I’m absolutely in love with this class. It’s everything I’m interested in. I love observing people and figuring out their motives and trying to understand why we behave the way we do in certain situations. It really has confirmed that I’m not a creepy freak that irrationally over thinks everything and is socially awkward. Everyone else does it too. Of course I knew that...

Unclear Future
Today I spoke with one of my peers from my education class. I told her I was doubting whether I wanted to be a teacher. She told me she felt the same way. Apparently we both decided to be education majors because Creative Writing isn’t a major in our school.
Now I’m incredibly interested in all my classes. I love children, and I love teaching. Education is something I’ve always...

thethreeamrants asked: This is going to seem super random, but oh well. Tonight we had Toni Morrison speak at our school and she made a comment about writing. I know I don't actually know you, but for some reason, I thought of you and I had to share it. She said "Writing pulls me together intellectually and spiritually. Language does that for me." I just wanted to pass that little bit of beauty along. I...
Confrontations
These last couple of days have been rather interesting for me.
At work I was in the middle of a peculiar fight for power. It was slightly amusing, but incredibly uncomfortable. I related the event to a close friend and was asked why I didn’t stand up for myself?
My answer to that very logical question is that I don’t like confrontation. I will speak up in certain situations but if I...
Lost Soul.
When I was eight years old and living in East New York, I had a landlord who’s son has a mental disorder. The guy who is several years older than me would go months being “normal” and then just lose it for days. I think his mom (the landlord) didn’t have enough money to treat him and really take care of him.
Unfortunately after we moved out, his mother died and he was left...
Poker Face
The smallest things can set me off. I need to find my center again.
Attempt to catch up #403943
I just had my first midnight coffee of the semester. My planner is full. I got things to print, fill out, hand in, pick up, and three classes tomorrow. Plus I have five chapters to read tonight. Why I didn’t start this two days ago is beyond me. On the bright side I’ve convinced myself that I’m staying up to wait until my brother gets home, and I’m only reading these...

At this point I’m not looking for any commitment, just some of your spare time.
