Currently Listening
Finding Forever
By Common

I'm a bit nervous about going back to school. I'm nervous about driving constantly...it's stupid, I know, but I'm a new driver. I'm nervous about my house and my roommates. I'm nervous about my job and my my classes and my friends and trying to make it all work. I can't help it. I'm a worrier. I'm easily stressed, tightly wound. I just want to do my best.
But my new mantra is this: I don't have to be perfect. I can't be perfect. It's impossible. I can only do my best and be my best and have as much fun as possible.
It is weird though- I'm more nervous this year- as a sophomore- than I was as a freshman. Anyway, 2 days until school...well, really one and a half.
Nothing much exciting on the home front. My brother left today for New York. Went to Boston yesterday, visited my friend Jill at her new apartment, drank her wine, got Thai food, etc. etc. Nothing terribly exciting, but fun anyway. I'd like to live in Boston at some point. Rent is ridiculously expensive and all that but, it really is one of my favorite cities. I'm happy being out by the beach though...it's a chill vibe. And it's nice seeing trees and animals and nature-y things.

Goals and Stuff:
Everyone knows it's important to have goals!

 Here are mine:

1. Stop wasting time.
2. Keep my things organized.
3. Say yes to things...ie, stop canceling plans in favor of lying around and watching reruns of I Love New York.
4. Be here now. (Yes, I have been reading the Power of Now. Everybody needs a good self-help book from time to time).
5. Be more relaxed.
6. Meditate in the mornings.
7. Write for an hour a day.
8. Read for an hour a day.
9. Travel as much as possible- figure out study abroad program. (I really want to spend a semester in Australia.)
10. Be kind and honest.

I'm such a jerk...shit. Bad karma. I feel like an ass. Total jerk. I've got to apologize. I got in a huge fight with my brother because I wouldn't let him take my car. I should of just let him take it. He only would have been gone a few hours. It was totally selfish. He should have taken the car. I canceled plans with a friend and made up some bullshit excuse. I feel terrible.

Just saw Superbad. It was hysterical.... I definitely have a crush on Michael Cera. They really should bring back Arrested Development.

Spent the weekend helping my brother paint his new apartment in Brooklyn. The apartment's in Park Slope, it's nice, all things considered. He's sharing the place with a friend and the friend's girlfriend.
But really I just painted all weekend... It wasn't terribly fun, but we got the job done, so...cheers to that.
I finally got my car tonight. I can't drive it yet, as I haven't registered it yet (I'm going to have to haul ass to the DMV tomorrow and sort it out. That and my license. Hooray.)

My landlord and her husband just friend requested me on facebook, which is a little weird.
