So, people I like and admire are doing BEDA, and it's going to be an interesting month, so I thought I would try. I want to look back on this month, I believe, so if I make it more official perhaps I will be able to accomplish it. I wrote 50,000 words in a month twice; I should be able to keep a blog. I am also hoping it will cause me to write more in general because I will get in the habit. I might even blog multiple times a day. It might become a thing that I do. I enjoy writing in my diary, but I don't do it enough. Perhaps I will do this more. Though it would be another case of surrendering to the power of the computer and the internet.
I have reached a liminal moment in my life. I always claim that I like liminal moments, but perhaps I really dislike them. I don't like change, and they are the exact moment of a change. I found out from colleges today. I already can't believe I didn't know I got in, or didn't get in, this morning when I was asleep. (I slept till twelve. Silly exhaustion and time differences.) I was so silly about the whole thing. As if having to visit four excellent places you got into was the end of the world. As usual, talking to my friends made me see the error of my ways. It wasn't anything in particular they said. Just them, being awesome as usual. It's nice to have free time before school starts again. I really do make things more complicated than they have to be.
I started Anna Karenina last week. I've finished Part 1. I like Karenin and dislike Vronsky; I think it's supposed to be the other way around. Vronsky seems childish, he has "selfish disregard for the feelings of others", it seems. And Karenin is sardonic, but seems to really care about Anna. I don't know.
Goals for the month:
-Enjoy yourself. Don't be so overwrought all the time.
-Do well on the last few assignments for school.
-Pay attention, particularly to the weather, but to everything around you.
-Get more sleep.
-Blog Every Day. (although for days you can't, you can do two on another day.)
