Desolated

Bryant left this morning at 6:30 am. Needless to say it was a long weepy day. Especially since within my first hour of work a very persistent lady yelled at me (much akin to an unhappy child who does not get their way). And since I was already a bit emotional I started crying (awesome, I love crying at work). I got a little smile out if though when I thought of what Bryant would tell me when I told him about it, "Did you punch her in the face?" No he doesn't mean it (well maybe a little bit) but it made me smile to think of him and also to picture myself trying to reach over the counter and punch her, the weakling that I am. It reminded me of scrubs and JD's little daydreams.

I must say though. I really admire Bryant for going after his dreams. I'm a bit jealous though. He's so sure of what he wants to do and he's taking the chance to do it. I'm not even sure if I really want to teach. He's lucky to be so sure. Most people aren't even sure after they've graduated (I know a sweeping generalization but somehow it seems true. Maybe because I'm afraid that's what will happen to me).

This girl is already doing what she wants do to. It's pretty amazing, a child prodigy they call her. How would it be to be so completely talented at something almost from birth. Lucky girl. And she uses it for such good. I don't particularly love her art work but it's pretty amazing. She drew better pictures at age four than I can now.

Yep, I'm jealous of people who know what they want to do too. Now that we are'nt having babies what will I do, should I do, will I really be free to do?
Where is his school again? How long is it? How often do you get to see him?
Amazing young talent.

It's in Sacramento for three months. I probably won't be able to see him but I might go out after classes end and see if I can see him just for a bit. I have a friend who lives out there who would let me stay with her. So even if I don't see him it would be fun to hang out with her. We'll see what happens though.

I'm sorry that your husband no longer exists in the state of Utah. It is a sad thing. Also, not knowing what you want to do is a sad thing. I am in the same boat. I think that stats is going to be too hard for me.

We should hang out sometime soon. I need to borrow Goose Girl from you.

wow, that girl is amazing. Really unbelievable. Though I wonder when she will burn out, you know? Or get bored. Maybe she'll fizzle out and move on to something that is challenging to her.

Holy Cow! She is amazing! I wish I knew what I wanted to do. It's kind of crappy when you just have to pick something that you're not even sure you're going to like and stick with it because you don't want to be in school for the rest of your life... I get, "So you're working on your masters?" comments when people hear how long I've been in school. So sad!

And even though it was 8 months ago I'm very sorry that your husband had to leave for awhile!

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
