Last week I learned about Gandhi and Buddha

Went for a walk on Sabbath
Daisies are up =)

and with more time on my hands, blogging has become more frequent.

I'd like some work to do so I have money in my wallet =)

and this week i'm writing responses to a workshop for my portfolio.

yesterday I talked to Mrs. M who always makes me feel better. She said I was the most intentional person (in self improvement) she's ever met. I consider that a wonderful thing =] Perhaps, though, I should start taking notes on our conversations.

Dreams

Last night I dreamed I had a fever and I was terribly ill. I was trying to hide it until i started feeling really hot. The setting was Allen Middle School. I can no longer remember anything else other than wondering into the hall filled with 7th grade classrooms. I went looking for one particular teacher, who happened to be talking with another teacher. I did not want to interrupt her or her classroom but she saw me in the window and motioned to come in. After apologizing for interrupting, I sheepishly asked her to check my temp, as she was known to be very much like the school mom. As any mother, she first did the forehead check. .....

I actually don't remember anything else other than that.

On the news update:

I am officially alive in PA. I am officially over my last boyfriend, even though he upsets me time to time. I have visited Dolly, which was very refreshing. Today, my aunt from MD came up to have breakfast with me and we did just a few of our favorite things. One of which was going to the book store :-) Of course we couldn't leave without first buying at least one book. :-)

I've been looking for a car for when I go back to college. That is more work than I had bargained for. I have had a few nice friends to help me look and an uncle who is taking me to look some more.

Facebook has reunited me with some elementary/high school school friends. We've been trying to meet up and hang out for an afternoon. which is very good because it keeps me social, happy, and hopeful for the future.

Although I am not studying to be an accomplished Doctor or anything that many of the US population see as a successful career, I am studying to change lives. Yes, I do believe, in my naive self, that they can be taught and they can be reached. With these thoughts in mind, I am educating myself on some literature and studying one way in how to connect literature with the classroom. I have a ways to go in the papers to write though..

No I'm not perfect. Yes, I fail. No, I don't know everything, but I do like to learn. and Yes, I am competitive. So far, I consider myself blessed and accomplished, so yea.

I believe so because progress has been made over the last few years of my life. I make goals, and strive to meet them. I try not to compare myself to others so much either.- that is good.

Do not tell me I cannot do something, because I will go out of my way to prove you wrong. Obviously though, i take into consideration what I value and its purpose other than to prove another wrong. ;-)

Along the line of dreams:

• I dream to cook well including authentic thai food
• to bake well (which is easy) plus master the art of decorating
• to major in Education k-12
• background in business admin
• touch a little in the nursing field
• give something to the people I admire in my life as a personal thank you for being a guide
• I dream to be stable enough to own a fairly nice house and a decent SUV
• be an efficient swimmer by my own standards
• to regularly go to the gym when I have access to one
• I dream to also not dwell on the past but learn from it and move on (that one can be darn hard)
• teach in a christian atmosphere ie church
• learn enough hebrew to get me through the bible
• and over all, I dream to meet the goals that are most reasonable and accomplishable by me.
