Ramblings...
Friday, December 11, 2009
I have been meaning to write this post and many others similar to it for some time now. I run the thoughts over and over again in my head, always meaning to stop and put them to text. I don't know what stops me each time, I suppose laziness. Not wanting to take the time to turn on the computer and wait for the right page to show up. So instead, I talk to myself. Turning my thoughts over like I am having a conversation with someone. Sometimes I chuckle, having to acknowledge that that comment was pretty good.
I wonder if people ever really know other people. My gut instinct tells me that there are the rare few that really know someone else. That point where you know what they are thinking or how they will respond even before they begin to give a clue. I am not sure what made that pop into my head. I suppose just some of my rambling thoughts. I seem to have so many of those these days. Just different paths that I jump off of and onto another.
I was sitting here thinking about what I learned this week. The funny thing is is that I do that pretty much very Friday. I run over those moments this week that in some weird way taught me a new lesson. Good or bad.
So what was it this week? Well let's see...
This week, I learned that never assume that education means intelligence. While not surprised at the immaturity of some graduate students, I found that I was really disappointed that I will be lumped into the same category as some here. To hear the juvenile and close-minded views is nothing less than appalling. I am ashamed this week.
I learned that letting go to move forward may be harder than I thought before. I have said goodbye before, but now it seems even harder. I have begun to prepare myself only to find that I may not be able to.
I learned that expecting things from people you never expected things from before will only cause disappointment. There was a reason you didn't expect anything from them previously. Stick with that.
I learned that cold weather makes my memory foam bed really hard and that I should think twice about jumping onto it in the cold future.
I suppose nothing groundbreaking...just me.
