Teaching this first year has made me think of a life balance. I, in fact, don’t have one. We actually have at my school a dry cleaning service (because we have no time to actually do it), yet we have no budget. It’s crazy to think how we try to make our lives easier, yet have no sustainable system in place. But deep down inside, I want to use the dry cleaning service. My school doesn’t have money for art supplies, yet I still want the dry cleaning service.
The rebel in me is dimishing. Yet, the thought of someone doing a errand task for me, so it’s one less thing I have to worry about, is so appealing. The hours spent between 5pm and now 10:19 consited of the following:
Take Lenin for a run (Lenin is my dog) 5-5:30
Emails 5:30-6:15pm
Gym 6:15-7:30
Cooking 7:45-8:10
Food and “Mad Men” 8:15-9:20
Clean kitchen 9:25-9:45
Shower 9:50-10:10
Internet 10:10 til now
Is this enough of a life? Everyday? No weekends (because I waitress…cause I don’t make enough money). When do you find a balance? When is there enough time?

Michelle Williams was very insecure about her body when she was so pregnant, so Heath Ledger would often put padding under his shirt to appear pregnant as well in hopes of making his wife feel better. This photo was taken the first time Heath did this.

i thought i understood it, but i didn’t.
only the idea of it of you and me.
i thought i understood it, but i didn’t.
not really.
only the smugness of it,
the eagerness of it,
the idea of it
of you and me.
