live well. laugh often. LOVE much.

in your regular daily life, having to use your mind-reading/assumption using skills is probably something you do without even realizing it. you know, your mind isn't even comprehending most of the things you are seeing when you look around? most of it comes from your brain's ability to just assume.... the desk that is usually always there is usually always there and it doesn't need to register "hey, there's that desk" over and over again. your eyes help in this process. it sees things, registers the big picture, and your brain converts it. it a wonderful mystery how your brain works, and we're all so lucky that it masters what it does. anyway, my point is that there are things and people in this world that require more from you than just the regular old "i've got this figured out, i don't need to make it more difficult." they want you to make it more difficult. they want you to read their mind. they want you to make the assumptions when it makes sense to them, and they want you to read their mind when that makes sense to them, too.

i have so much homework to do before thursday night. how am i going to do that? i have to take an online practice GRE before my class because my teacher wants to see our starting point, and it's 3 hours so i'm gonna be up late tonight doing that. bummer. and tomorrow, i think i have like 35 pages of paper homework. ugh, it hasn't even started and i'm already complaining. okay, i have to take this on with a different attitude:
"this will be good for me."
"i will benefit from the hard work."
"i will look back at this class when i'm in graduate school and wish i had it so easy."

okay, much better.

i'm in the mood for salad. andy agreed that we could go to souplantation for dinner. yippeee! okay, it's time to start shutting down. i'm still at work and i'm just trying to kill time. there's nothing like good old blogger to do that, right?
