So.... there is the Cobar update... now I'm back on res... avoiding assignments and trying to convince myself to be motivated for them. The quote of the day is:

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, BEGIN IT. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it" -Johann Wolfgang van Goethe

Even with that quote I'm just feeling burnt out on studying... I'm reminded of Neil's theory of mistaken resistance- resisting something you must do wastes energy and prevents being done with the task at hand sooner than later.

I'm also reminded that tasks tend to take up the amount of time you allow for them. I think the largest varying factors are quality and stress level (the difference between when you leave things to the last minute and when you just get started on them).

Oh well... that's what life as a student is about. That's where I am right now.

Things I'm thankful for today:
-gyms (I never thought I'd say that)... good places to workout when it's too smoky outside for asthmatics
-Rozee and Leesa's cross country mix (we put it on at the gym)
-detox programs (I've started one and I'm feeling really good)
-Nap. Dyn. lip balm (thanks missy!)
-parenthesis (these things)
-water
-music from friends
-e-mail
-Cinderella
-vegetables
-fruit juice
