One thing I have learned in the past five years or so is this. It does not matter how many nice things you have if you aren’t happy with who you are as a person - you will not be happy in the long run. I have finally come to terms with who I am as a person. I accept me for me (all the good and all the bad). This realization makes me happy. I have found true happiness after years of searching. The stuff I own does not make me happy. Sure they can entertain me, but it is not the purpose of my existence.

I am glad I am no longer in that place. It is freeing.

So I think that there are two more episodes this season… and one of them involves Lady Heather. And the other… involves the miniature killer. I can’t wait. I don’t think it is rational for someone to be this excited about tv.

i am in a funk. for the past two nights i have come home from work not wanting to do anything. i just lay in bed - lifeless. i don’t know what is wrong with me. i have everything going for me right now - how could i possibly be sad?

Is it me or the espresso? I think I felt this ambitious before I got out of bed this morning.

Today is a long day of appointments and work. I hae to go to the dentist today AND two doctors’ appointments. Nothing serious, just check ups all around.

And I have a meeting with one of my co-authors today. Hopefully that will be fruitful.

Oh! And I am going to my graduation ceremony this June, which is a big incentive to get my dissertation turned in on time. And I have an appointment to turn the dissertation in. So I gotta get on the ball…
