GAAAHHHH!!! It's driving me INSANE!!! Why haven't they announced our research advisor assignments yet?! I need to know! What a terrible thing to leave hanging over the heads of eager graduate students over a weekend!
Also today I went to my first breakdancing club meeting and it was A-FUCKING-MAZING and I will be going back as much as I can because it makes me feel like such a fantastic bamf. I learned just a few very simplistic things and foundational moves, but I'm proud that by the end of the meeting I could do all of them (albeit poorly). A few minutes after I left the meeting I was suddenly drained of all energy, a great sign that I worked out a lot of muscles I had not been using prior, and that is also fantastic. I can feel my shoulders and back and abs aching with the pain of growth and improvement. That's my favorite pain. Actually I wouldn't call it pain. I would call it progress.
Regardless I am extremely happy that I've grown such a drive to achieve all the fun things I've always wanted to do. I should make a list:
- Learn to play the keytar: in progress.
- Learn to breakdance: in progress.
- Learn a martial art: in progress.
- Learn a new language: not yet started.
- Weigh 115 pounds: working on it...slowly.
- Meet the female love of my life: working on it...super slowly.I'll come up with more later. Now I need to sleep.
Good night, internets.

Yay! I'd kind of like to try kick-boxing but I don't know if I'm healthy enough for it, at least not yet.
Despite the disconnection of the internet in talking, it really is comforting just to know that someone is willing to listen, so thank you, sincerely, for saying that. You don't have to feel responsible for making me feel better, I'm not always super sad, it just happens that the down times are the times I most want to write everything out of me. Thank you for your concern, though.
Congratulations on moving forward with things you want to do! I randomly make lists of things I want to learn, but they rarely get done. Maybe after I graduate and have more me-time, I can follow your example and be motivated to learn something new.
