Relaxation
Posted: October 7, 2008 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well 3 CommentsDid I tell you I’m taking a vacation in California? True story. I wish I had something interesting to say about it so far, but I’ve been here less than 24 hours. I took the train – good times, but uncomfortable for sleeping (although I’m equally uncomfortable in my bed…thanks, fetus). Not too many weird people. Mostly.
Soon I’ll be off visiting people and doing amazingly fun things, which I will take pictures of and tell you about so you can see that I do get outside sometimes (thanks, Goze)!
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda
Posted: September 29, 2008 Filed under: War and Peace 3 CommentsYou know how people always talk about living life without regrets?
I find that a somewhat impossible task. Here are things I may always regret:
- Not going to nationals for Academic Decathlon in 2002. We were so close – if only I had done a little better…
- Thinking freshman year would be easy and I could just take it easy like in high school. Those grades are stuck. They’re on my transcript despite redoing several of them.
- Selling my first car.
- Missing out on the great duplex deal we almost got with Ben & Krista. I’m still irritated that the lady’s husband gave away the contract, within an hour of the lady telling us we’d almost definitely get it…communication is important! Again, we were so close!!
- Losing (somewhere) my favorite shirt and favorite skirt. I bought them both right before the Romgi and I got married, and they both disappeared by our first anniversary. Even after we moved to this apartment I kept hoping they’d turn up somewhere.
- Unintentionally murdering the lizards.
- Deciding not to go to Korea to teach English. It’s probably for the best, because if we had gone, I’d be flying back to the US at 7 or 8 months pregnant, which may not even be kosher…but I feel like that was my chance to do something awesomely adventurous, and I turned it down. Also the money was really tempting.
- Losing the fish platter!
- Eating all of the Slim Jims…I need some more…
What are your regrets?
