March 6, 2007

Music: mix CD
Reading: Arnold Preface to 1853 Poems; Eliot "Tradition and the Individual Talent," "Hamlet and His Problems"
Current stress level (scale of 1-10): 8.5

Good things that happened today:
1. Worked a bit on my portfolio.
2. Worked on my final project for Financial Literacy -- a budget! It's actually kind of fun... heh.
3. Fencing lesson went okay.
4. Learned it will be very hard for me to qualify for Nationals. (Yes, this is a good thing... I kind of don't actually want to qualify, as that would be a ton of added stress and I'm honestly pretty much ready to stop fencing for a while, but I couldn't not fence my best either. This way I can fence hard, and if I happen to actually qualify I'll be so proud of myself (because it won't seem accidental or like a stupid fluke) that I won't mind the added stress of having to train for another two weeks, mess with my plane ticket home for spring break, etc.)
5. Got a sweet letter from a teammate (she wrote one to each of us). Its purpose was to pump me up for this weekend's competition, but she also expressed support from her and the team for what I've been doing as captain and acknowledged some of the hard stuff I've had to deal with, which was just fantastic.

Other things to be happy about:
1. Puppy count: TWO!

Good things that happened today:
1. Woke up next to Jason.

3. As celebration for #2, bought myself a steamed milk with a shot of vanilla. Yummy!
4. Worked on my portfolio for creative writing. It's actually kind of frustrating right now because this damn piece is fragmented and not really coalescing and I need to move on to work on other stuff... but it's still nice to be writing.
5. Lunch was actually pretty good.
6. Had a good workshop of my piece.

Other things to be happy about:
