inspirational posters and tea
today is the first day of the rest of your life...
sure... its a poster we all saw in elementary school with a picture of a lion on it... or a road... or whatever inspirational photo the people at the i-make-inspirational-posters-headquarters decided on. but every now and then, that lion or road or whatever it was will haunt you. you wake up and you think... "shit. today is the first day of the rest of my life" no, i didn't think that this morning, as a matter of fact i didn't wake up this morning, but had i woken up and not been awake studying, i would have thought a phrase that goes a little more like "today is the last day of the past of my life" i'd been dreading and waiting for this week all summer. finished classes... and i was supposed to be done completely, but of course... my mcat earlier this week had a bit of an IT computer crash tech problem and i'll be retaking it in about 2 weeks on vacation in baltimore... but other than that... small burden lifted, heavier one climbing into its place.
its time to be a big girl. get life together... get the big girl job... apply for the next level... finish things, and get things started. its a very weird feeling.
we don't really ever know where we're going to be tomorrow or who's gonna be hanging out with us when we are figuring it out. but all in all, it should be an interesting ride.
we've only got one life... if we keep waiting to live it, it'll pass us by... so move to london if that's what you want to do... go back to school and be a botanist if that is what you want to wake up every morning doing... make sure when you are waking up, you aren't saying "today is the first day of the rest of my life" rather be saying "it friggin rocks that i get to do what i do today"
