This needs to be reiterated
"The irony of committment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life." –Anne Morriss
What will I commit to?
Who will I commit to?
Where will I commit to?
Enter the ‘happiness decisions’ I was talking about. I need to do some serious self-reflection about what makes me happy. And then I need to make some decisions and commitments.
As much as I want grad school to be over so I can sleep more than four hours a night, see the friends and family I love, and find some hobbies besides studying…once it ends,those decisions will actually have to come into play.
Why does that terrify me so much?
It terrifies us all, I think it’s an exhausting and rewarding experience. “There has never been an intelligent person of the age of sixty who would consent to live his life over again. His or anyone else’s.” – Mark Twain.

what are you studying in grad school? i’m thinking about entering a 5-year masters/b.a. program next year so maybe i can look forward to not sleeping at all too 😛 and right on about the birth control. it seems like every month since i started over a year ago there has been a new side effect to tack on. i haven’t taken it in three days and i feel better already.
