note to self:

Since Anisha's moving we all went on a walk together on a walk to Delores. This picture is from Paul (some cool... panoramic app on his phone) from when he and I were there last week.

Sometimes the little things can wear you down: It's impossible to find time to do laundry. There's no food in the kitchen. It's really cold in your bedroom. One of your roommates moves out. Etc. All those things feel like little welts and paintball splatters across your back. Then, like today, you realize you're a few days into a week-long final exam and still up to your neck in legal theory that you may or may not understand. That feels like a bazooka to the face, and the little things don't get to you so much. But you'll be fine.

Just roll up your sleeves. Do your best.

Napping with Kelly last summer at my favorite place in Provo

Just go to sleep for once. Seriously. This is ridiculous.

to self:

on a completely unrelated note, I wish this was my bedroom right now. especially those sheets. I wish those were mine. I am convinced that I would spend more time sleeping if this was my bed.

1. Get to bed progressively earlier - For example, Sunday was 7:00, Monday was 4:00, Tuesday was 3:45, tonight will be BEFORE 3:45. And that pattern should continue until you have established a respectable, reasonable, normal, healthy bedtime.
2. Be kind
3. Start letting it go - Whatever it is, whenever it comes up, think about it, figure it out, and then stop thinking about it. You can't possibly worry about everything all at once, so stop trying. law school? summer job? uncertainty? fear? perfection? disappointment? anxiety? deal with it and let it go.

magical salted caramel cupcake that IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH JANUARY. I am very upset by this news.

Maybe it was a little crazy of you to return to Georgetown Cupcakes less than 24 hours after your inaugural visit. Maybe it was irresponsible to go out and buy postcards instead of food during your lunch break. Maybe you have some stuff to work on...

Goals for the next seven days:

1. stop being so negative. be positive.
2. OMG GO TO SLEEP BEFORE 2:00 at least ONCE
3. read the front page of the Washington Post every day this week

do your best,
britt
