one year ago today

i spent two hours in bed fighting off a panic attack about doing my project. i think subconsciously i have been sabotaging myself for a long time. i’m burnt out. i’m tired. i am UNHAPPY. and as much as i appreciate the encouragement and kind thoughts, i can’t keep doing this to myself. so, i drove home today and told my dad that i will not be graduating next weekend. he was okay with it. i was terrified and i felt like i let everyone down, when in reality i was beating myself up over being not good enough for a career that makes me physically sick to my stomach. i don’t want a job where my only interaction with people is for a story. i want a job where i can help people, be creative, and be happy. but it’s not about what other people think, anyway. i am finally taking care of myself and fixing two of the worst mistakes of my life: being a photo major and working for the daily tar heel. that’s not to say that everything about those choices was bad; i met some of my very best friends through the dth, and i learned about photography and sometimes did things that i enjoyed. it’s just for the most part i was miserable. so next week i will not be earning a diploma, but i will have reclaimed some sanity.
and exactly one week from today, i will get that diploma. things are turning out beautifully.

YAAAYYY GO ALLIE!!!  I can’t wait to graduate with you :)

i have like every book. SweetValley and Sweet Valley High, too. I still have issues with Jessie being the only black girl though. lol.

I wonder if my parents kept my hundreds of BSC books? I think at one point I was part of some program that just sent them on a monthly/bi-weekly basis.  I was hooked.

I never read these books, but I reblogged this for Allie.  Allie models her business plans after the BSC.

I&#8217;m listening to the Mecum car auction live on Ustream right now (found a link on twitter).  First of all, is the auctioneer speaking english??  Second, they&#8217;re auctioning a few Deloreans.  Allie, this is for you.

I wish everything on the internetwebs had a Reblog button at the top right corner of the window.  I often find blogs that I would love to look at on a regular basis, but my Google Reader is already packed and I can’t add the blog to my Tumblr dashboard.  I want to combine Google Reader and Tumblr.

In other news…I just started following gluttony is a bliss.  There go my healthy eating 2009 plans.

Thank you and Screw you, Allie, for getting me addicted to Tumblr.

katie: I lie to you not.
katie: There is a girl in this class.
katie: Wearing a Snuggie.
allie: TELL HER I WANT TO BE HER BEST FRIEND

allie: you don't really need your hands free in class...unless you want to use facebook
allie: or take notes, i guess
allie: stacey, i'm a hipster!
stacey: a hamster?
