Day 1 (high-lows and vocab)

Highs and lows. It is something that varies groups I've been involved with do to catch up with each other before we get down to business. You go around the group and mention the best part of your day (week, month, etc) and the worst part. Its was a way to quickly stay connected with each other lives, which is important when you are a bunch of girls that are meeting for another purpose... the girls and I in my college bible study could talk about our week for hours, but our bible study was only an hour, hence starting the "High-lows" tradition.

I am hoping that starting "high-lows" here will help me to accomplish my goal to write more. The idea is that I will form a habit of writing daily. A lot of my problem comes from my less-than-perfect time management and some of it comes from the pressure of deciding what to write about. I read a lot of blogs and feel like my writing skills don't measure up, and I am envious of their ability to write and keep at it. I want that.

I want this blog to be an outlet -living alone is, well, lonely sometimes!

I want this blog to be therapeutic -I hate how I talk to much, but I admit it is such a release for me. I feel stressed when I feel something goes unsaid, but making others feel stressed from my constant stream of sound makes me feel terrible.

I want this blog to be informative -I am passionate about things, and want to be able to show it.

I want this blog to be a learning experience - I feel like sharing and developing my writing will be good for me.

So....without further ado... the first day of "High-lows"!

High- I realized (again lol) what direction I want my career to move in. I can't believe I ever forgot and start to feel like I am doomed to wonder forever. CDC here I come!

Low- I talk to much... we have a new intern and I am doing my best not to tell her my life story in her first week, but day 2 was a failure (not as much as day 1 yesterday, but still).

Oh! Also, in an attempt to bolster up my vocabulary (mostly biological words, sorry) lets put one of those in a day, too!

Biology -the science of life <3
