dating someone

when I'm dating someone
I become a better person

this may be unusual, but
I get to bed on time (because we both have class at 8)
I take better care of myself (makeup-wise)
I eat healthier
I get more of my homework done

it's pretty nice

not that I'm dating anyone (yet)

I don't have to run around losing sleep
hoping something will happen
Looking pretty for someone is nice
(unlike the pointless makeup-ing of yesteryear)
I don't have to eat comfort food
to make myself feel better
And studying is easier
knowing he's studying too

...and later we can have fun.

this is all in theory, of course. It doesn't bear resemblance to my actual life. Yet.

this is pretty dang self-centered

It is my birthday tomorrow

if you are so overcome with guilt that you forgot

and positively must get me a present 

to soothe your conscience

here is my etsy wishlist

Condoleezza Rice is coming to campus tomorrow as well

I am thinking about going to the question and answer

and beginning my question with "My name is Betsy and it's my birthday

...."

perhaps she will wish me happy birthday

I just need a good question

this is pretty dang self-centered

being mad at the Spirit

Last week

I got a prompting I didn't understand
and didn't want to follow.

And I resisted.

You can only resist for so long though
and finally,
I caved
to the superior [everything] (intellect, planning, knowledge, creativity)
del Señor.

Once I did follow it
I found out that I should have earlier
so I could have more time
to talk to my friend

who has a break when I do
unbeknownst to me
whom I love
(beknownst to me)
and needed to talk to
unbeknownst to me

not for his health
but for mine.

being mad at the spirit
never works for me.

Lesson learned (for the umpteenth time)

un problema

de limites

everything is a problem of limits
is it not?

argentina vs. chile

that's what my professor said

"siempre es un problema de limites."
and I thought

you betcha!

like what can I and what can't I do in my life

always a problem of limits

believe in the wrong ones
in either direction
--you are too easily satisfied (when you could have achieved so much more)
--or always disappointed (at what you couldn't do)

right?
