Coffee, aquarium pump, floor that needs swept

The title sums up my morning, but I should add that I am in LA with my love and we are going to his neices wedding tonight. I'm excited to see if it will be traditional Persian and also to meet her. It is Houshangs daughter, that is B's oldest brother and he is the kindest, humblest, wisest soul. He cured his kidney stones with sour grapes. The power of nature is immeasurable, how can some people not agree? So my internship is still awesome. I am starting a poetry group next week. I approached a few of the patients and they seemed really excited about it, one even said she had a book of poems published. I am not really nervous because of Hafez's poem, which I wish I would have seen before the end of my graduate school career and it starts out like this- fear is the cheapest room in the house, I would like to see you living in better conditions. For your mother and my mother were friends. Remember when I first started school and had to do a power point presentation my third week? I know I shared some of my thoughts with internets while trying to learn how to use ppt, which luckily my roommate showed me how to do. Funny the experience from the start of graduate school to now. One never knows where life will take them, you just have to be open to opportunities. I am pretty excited about finishing up my internships and working, I still have eight months before I graduate though, and then it is loss of freedom as a job will not give me the flexibility I have now. So,I am hoping we travel a lil bit before then!! But then there is the money thing, which I certainly do not want to get into here. Let me get back to the real reason why I opened my blog and began to type this a.m., thoughts and feelings oh my! I regret not reading more and I know I know, no time like the present right? When I see my neighbors outside reading I always think, I wish I read more. Ridiculous. Start reading girl. I think I'll start adding non fiction with poetry, a good balance for todays world. Goals, that is what it is all about. For instance, why don't I spend 30 minutes (to start off small aka baby steps) of each day reading? I regret so much, not spending more time studying, not reading my textbooks I paid so much for, not doing blah, not going blhere... This is not the time for regrets. It is the time for change.
