I prefer to go by feel.: "The only reason for time is that everything doesn't happen at once" Einstein

Well sometimes, every time I stumble upon something like this that I used to try and keep, I stop and wonder for a minute why I ever stopped writing and try to rev it back up again. I have just spent a few minutes reading and reflecting the words i had written so many many months ago. Here I am, more than two years later. Despite everything I feared and thought during that last semester...I apparently survived.

The life i left last time i typed for these pages is completely different than the life i currently lead. I miss that life. I miss being able to have a good balance between my desires to be a hard ass worker and a carefree kid. I've always found something to pour my heart and soul and 150% work ethic into, and real life is no different. Despite my worries that I would never ever ever find something to do with my life that I'd be happy with, I did and I am. My job right now is good, despite the bs that I'm sure goes on in any work place, school place, any place.

I have, however realized and reaffirmed my belief that i refuse to be anything less than the best at what i'm doing. It's a little neurotic and a little insane. The kind of overachieving i put out there is not your average. I don't overachieve across the board. I overachieve in a concentrated manner. I overachieved in high school by being an effective leader on a team. I overachieved in college by being so incredibly educated and involved in our sorority. I am overachieving now in my job by self teaching and KNOWING to the utmost ability everything there is to know about being an effective teacher for young minds. It's disgusting really, but it's me.

For a bit of fun in my life, here is a bit of old time survey. I like to find these on old blogs/journals and re-do them and compare :)
