GYM

If I don't run again all year, then I would have paid $52.50 to run for a half an hour today.

Mentioned doing my thesis with my fiction prof. He didn't run out of the room screaming, so I take it as a good sign.

Have lots of work. How did that happen already?

Must eat then I'm meeting Britt (and possibly Rose) for the first official study session of the new year. After that we're off to Starbucks to have the first official hangout of our little clique.

"We have lived; our moments are important. This is what it is to be a writer: to be the carrier of details that make up history...recording the details of our lives is a stance against bombs with their mass ability to kill, against too much speed and efficiency. A writer must say yes to life, to all of life."

~Natalie Goldberg

"Even in the darkest wilderness, there are angels, and a knight, no matter how lost and despairing, [who] will always be given another chance to fulfill his quest."

"But I know now that you can't expect anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, it's because he wants to. And it's never because it's what he's supposed to do."
