stuff

debbie's bat mitzvah present arrived yesterday. i was shipped a different pair of earrings then the ones i ordered, but after stressing, spending time on the phone and then reevaluating my options, i realized that the best choice is to go with the earrings i was shipped. now, i just wait until the big day, hope she likes that and that my mom won't kill me too much.

first thing this morning i got my spring session grade - a B.
on the one hand, i'm very happy with it - its a transferrable grade that won't affect my gpa. while i don't associate the grade with how much i got out of the class, they're lining up this time around - i got about 80% of what i was hoping to get. the other 20% i attribute to the lack of drink machines within the vicinity of the classroom, the manner in which the professor didn't explicitly connect his lectures to our reading, his overall lecture style and the fact that i never let the class become one of the first 5 priorities of my time.
on the other hand, its daunting. in the second week of July, i start a summer session course in which i need to get at least an A- in order to not lower my GPA. i'm really glad i have this time inbetween then and now - but i would like to reiterate my request that my time off be sunny. none of this grey and gloom crap!

something dietrich said made me think of the last time i went to shul, and heard the rabbi say in the sermon that "if you are not enjoying everything you do, you're not doing it right" - its a quote that really stuck in my head.
then, i tangented from that to the way quotes affect my life - the way they shape and change it. i think in sentences, so whenever a vague concept that's been in my head for a while or new idea i really like is cut down to a single sentence (or two), my world does an almost visible remolding.

gotta love my friends...
kittypie found someone from my old HS on friendster. taken with the idea, i searched for an out-of-touch x and found him. but, friendster won't let me view his profile. her consolation response was "well, at least you know his name" *shakes head*

"if you are not enjoying everything you do, you're not doing it right"

I like this quote....

I agree about quotes in general. I think they can do a great job summarize complex concepts into small statements. I had plans with Irina at one point to do a website together with all the quotes that we liked. Well it was going to have other stuff too, but that was what got us started with the idea. Course you can guess where that idea went....

Now I need to go off and ponder things after that quote.
