[smile]

my life these days, by necessity, is quite small. i study, and i take an occasional break from the crushing weight of the biggest test i'll take in my life. but every so often there are small moments of simple transcendence that sweep in and remind me that everything's going to be okay. i got one of those today.

it's been a pretty rotten day, frankly. i woke up early feeling rotten after being up late feeling stressed. i dozed, i took a phone call, then i hit the books. i ran an errand that did not end well, and then, nerves shot beyond all recognition, i set out for dinner with my stepmom. i settled down over dinner, but i was still feeling really frayed and weary.

then i took a cab home. (my stepmom didn't want me to walk from the train alone. sweet, eh?) and the cab driver and i had a fabulous, warm and hilarious conversation about life in the metro DC area. he dropped me off, and i am now ready to spend another hour or so working. nothing like a little recharge like that to get me out of my head and remind me what matters.

  1. Happy 100th! I've really enjoyed your blog and look forward to the next 100 posts.

    I've seen friends and family preparing for the bar. I don't envy you. But, it will be over soon.

  2. Good job on 100 posts! I'm about to hit 200 myself.

    That's something I miss very very much about living in South Dakota-having random conversations with total strangers. Everyone there is just so friendly and polite, so it always boosts your mood. Here in Utah people are much more closed off and a LOT less friendly.
