There is a conflicting push and pull aspect at play, dear Leo, which may leave you feeling a bit unsure of how to proceed. On one hand, you may be feeling like you want to plan things out and get your emotions stabilized so that you can function at full capacity. On the other hand, there may be something pulling you up into the clouds. This is your heart talking. Listen to it, and find a compromise between these two energies.

Right on. I just read this out loud to my editor and she laughed and yells "I TOLD YOU SO!" she thinks i should make some kind of forward progress with the guy i like. it's complicated, damnit. i don't wanna overstep a boundary or make him uncomfortable with flirting. she thinks harmless, subtle flirting is fine. i'm not sure. 

i usually do listen to my heart. and it's gotten me pretty much nowhere. some good memories, and alot of heartache. wahhh wahhhhhh...i'm boring myself talking about this crap right now.

i'm officially done with my first year of grad school. ONE down, only TWO more to go. seems so far away, and i've probably done more work in the past year that i did in 4 years at SJC. at least my schedule will ease up alot. i had about 5 meltdowns this past school year with everything. most recently last friday. but anyGAY, i'm all done with year 1 and should come out with a pretty stellar GPA. i have a 4.0, but i wont after this semester. probably a 3.8, and only because RESEARCH METHODS was a joke.

well, back to pretending to work.

I'm in my Group Comm class and we're discussing the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster and how group communication was involved. or lack thereof.

It's real interesting stuff. The expedition was analyzed from a group point of view. Lack of radio communication, the Sherpas inability to get the ropes ready in time, the amount of people climbing at one point...all led to this disaster.

katie, stop looking at my computer.

Anyway, everyone in the class is saying, "you couldn't pay me $65,000 (the average cost to climb it) to do this." and me and Katie (class BFF, not roommate) are like, "LET'S FUCKIN CLIMB THIS BITCH."

it reminds my of a friends episode where joey and chandler want to climb it and phoebe goes:

"You know it costs like, 70,000 dollars to climb it. and people die. (looks at chandler) and you WOULD die."

they just decide to rent a video of it. and also Die Hard.

Well, i keep looking at pictures and watching videos on National Geographics website, and I am fascinated. I'm gonna throw out there that I'm going to climb Mt. Everest by the time I'm 50.

Talk about lofty goals.
