Although I don't consider my life to be incredibly exciting to those around me, 2007 has proved to be an amazing year so far.
-Planned a college visit with my mom for Harvey Mudd over spring break
-Bombed a final
-Snowboarded for the first time (as fun as it was painful)
-Filed my W-2 form
-Had my mindset completely changed by the book "The Tao of Pooh"
-Dropped Track and replaced it with Iaido / Rugby (maybe)
-Advanced to the All-State level for group mime (as did many a blogger in this little clique)
-Lost my miniature Buddha and my prized red converse shoes
-Rediscovered my love for Red Delicious Apples
And the beauty of it all is I finally realized I can live the life I seek without being super busy, over-scheduled, or under-rested. I concentrated on "saving time" in the fall, not realizing it is impossible to do so. I can't store little moments in a jar and enjoy them later. With so many appointments, assignments, deadlines and due dates, I found I couldn't be as mindful, calm, or caring as I would have liked. So to all of you whom I turned away from or overlooked in the last several months (especially you, Yes), I humbly apologize. Among my new year's resolutions, I'm adding "to quiet the mind".
And now I'm off to sleep very, very deeply.

You lost the red converse? Disapointing.
I feel special
I'm so happy for you! And I'm glad that the Tao has given you as much inspiration as it has me.
You're fantastic, did you know that? I don't tell you enough.
Hope the laido lesson went well.
Please don't beat me up.
I'll snag your Buddha the next time I see Murphy. Promise.
Amanda, I had no idea you read this blog!
Very cool. If you've got one too, just leave a link or url in the comments
http://justlookingforastar.blogspot.com. We've missed you in US History the past few days... I met Hudson's fiance! She's a sweetie. And apparantly Hudson freaks out about the color of shirt he wears and whether his shoes match his belt on a daily basis. I have blackmail.
