Let's get real here...

I am at work, and I must say, the great thing about this shift, I'm wide awake, it's completely quiet and I get a lot of thinking done. You know? All the thinking that you kind of don't think about. Ha, if that makes ANY sense.

Here's what's on my mind right now, at 2:30 am in the Lobby Towers, Emporia, KS on February 3, 2011.

I've never been a pusher. I've never pushed myself. Once something feels good, I'll call it quits and be satisfied. Yes, this semester is still young, but already I've pushed myself in more ways than I ever have before. For instance, this desk shift. NEVER would I have worked until 3:oo am and then wake up at 8:00 am for a meeting. If this were last semester I probably would have come up with an excuse as to why I wasn't at the meeting or would have been late. So far, I've missed zero classes, I even went to a couple extra for study sessions. I haven't been late to ANY of them. While in class, my cell phone is zipped away in my book bag. I'm taking notes, and I have kept up with the reading.

I will be missing 4 days of school next week for Chicago, it's something I've anticipated so, my homework is all done for that week. My projects are ready to be turned in on Friday. It feels good! It feels nice to not run around trying to get things done last minute!

Chicago is approaching really fast! So far on the agenda I plan on going to improv olympics on Sunday night, and I have purchased my Second City ticket for Monday evening. I'm excited.

I just commented on another person's post that what I've been trying to do is find something exciting for the next day. That way it makes it a little easier to wake up!

So, as I go to sleep tonight, I'm excited for.... a day BACK in classes, to show off my sunglasses project that I just worked really hard on (haha hard on, gross), and to preview my monologues for Jim Bartruff again.

I'm sending good vibes to you today!
