So I had a good list of things here. Wishes for if I had more time. It got erased--maybe that was God's way of telling me to be satisfied with what I can do right now...
And I am. I never got around to doing a "thankful for" list before Thanksgiving, so maybe I'll tell you why I'm grateful for the things that you usually hear me complain about--because they're all things I chose to do in the first place, so there's a reason, right?
Early morning ballet. Love it. Really, even though I hate getting up! It gets me started each day. I feel beautiful when I do ballet. I'm doing something good for my body. I feel like I get to see the beauty in all these girls I dance with. I'm learning about a very refined style of dance.
Western Political Heritage. The hardest class I have. Remarkably, also the class I'm doing best in right now (we'll see after finals...). I love learning about different philosophies, so if you hear me complain about this class, it's because it's so much work. It's an intellectual workout and my brain feels good!
Writing for the paper. Goodness, how much I could say here...It is sooooooo stressful! Deadlines and deadlines, having to shove the rest of my life onto a back burner to meet those deadlines...but I get to learn about all this beautiful artwork, and talk to these incredible people who create it and have this amazing outlook on what's important in life--it's taught me so much about myself. And I love to write.
PRSSA. Wow, what ton of time I put into this. But I work with amazing people, I'm building my resume and portfolio, and I enjoy it. It adds some meaning to my life. The newsletter is my baby, and it's come a long way since I took over. It's something tangible to show for my work, which is always nice.
Work. So I don't know if I necessarily complain a lot about this, but it certainly takes away a good chunk of my time, and since I complain about not having time...this might be included. I like the people at my work. And I am going to like my new job so much. The training hasn't gotten too intense yet, so really it's just me adding my creative juices so far. Which is nice.
This is long. So I'm going to get back to homework. That I love :)

I am glad:-) The thing I like about school... and the thing I hate about school, is that it forces you to do stuff that you wouldn't do otherwise. But in the end, you are the better for doing it and so you were grateful you were forced.
its cheesy, so deal with it. I'm thankful for meeting you and helping you move out. I think your fantastic.
Maybe now Richard & I will stop worrying about you running yourself into the ground, because at least you apparently enjoy doing it. :o) I hope if I were living your life instead of mine I'd do as many great things with my time as you do. Of course, goodness knows I'd probably take the bare minimum of required clases, work as little as possible, and spend the rest of my time sleeping. You're my hero. :o) Hang in there!
Thanks for the insight into your life, Cindy. You are remarkable! I can hardly wait to get you home for Christmas--you'll be my best Christmas present!
p.s. I'm glad you finally got around to writing a thank-you list. Eric--did you ever make your list?
I should post that. I'll do that.
