Theres so much going on in my life right now: I just started a new job, i just started a new year as an RA, i broke up with the man i thought i was going to marry. I am in the middle of planning two events for my building (RA stuff). I am really evaluating what makes me happy and what i need in my life. There is a wealth of drama to write about, but instead i am going to share a little story about my first day of work, and contrary to habit i promise to keep it short.
On my first day of work i decided to go buiness fashionable. I wore a pair of tan culots and my tall brown western boots, a black shirt and my black blazer wtih tan pinstripes. sharp. i come in feeling all confident in a room of people wearing chinos. I love that feeling when you are dressed noticibly well, but not overdressed. Sorry, i get vain sometimes. not often. Back to the point
SO my bos comes tot he gate to let me in (i dont have a security badge because its my first day) and we have to walk over to the building where my lab is. And, like the graceful genius i am, i trip down the stairs and almost take him with me. I stabilize myself and try to play it off all coy lik e"i'm ok". He looks at me and goes "no, i dont think you are". Before i get offended i realize the heel had completely snapped off my boot. MY 3" heel was laying on the steps next to him.
I spent the rest of the day hobbling around like an idiot. and whats worse is that the way i was walking so strained one leg that it is sore today and i am still limping, this time with matching shoes.
When creating this blog i wanted a title that had some meaning so i just flipped through the book of poetry closest on hand and chose a title. Its from Tupak Shakur's posthuumously published collection of poems "The Rose that Grew From Concrete, Volume 1"

More Dreams
For those of you that dont know. A month or so ago.... probably likke 2 months. i am too lazy to check. So a while ago i was having these terribly vivid dreams every night that were interfering with my sleep. That all had stopped for a while, but last night i had one. This one wasnt all incoherent, it was quite real.
It was one of those dreams where you get something you really want then wake up all confused at first because you dont know if it happened or not. So now i have this dark cloud over my day because now i am sure it didnt happen for real. Every few minutes i go back over the dream in my mind and it makes me happy, but then i am sad again when reality strikes.
Here is the point where i wish my blog was a little more anonymous. Because i cant tell you my dream because people that know me are reading this. So i am sorry this entry was so vague. I wonder if you can relate though?
