why do i try to make life as stressful as possible? i'm not sure... work's taken it all out of me lately. but it's my fault because i gave more than 100%, which left me with nothing.

took our group to a soup kitchen today. it was pretty interesting stuff. not mind-blowing or anything. but it definitely made me feel very thankful for all the ease in my life... for everything that i've had access to without having to work for it. a lot of privilege, that's what i have. but there are a lot of folks out there without ease & privilege, trying to make it in this world. it's a tough place & i don't even know the half of it.

what i do know is i'm damn lucky - though it has nothing to do with luck.

i also know that physics is lame & i have a test tomorrow. a real test. so i'm going to bed in hope of getting a decent night's sleep.

in spite of the craziness at work, i'm really enjoying the new gang. they're pretty great people.
