commitment(s)

are commitments like rules?: meant to be broken?
something tells me they're not.

it's not cute or cheeky when a commitment is broken, the way broken rules can be. when a commitment is forgone, it's rude, irresponsible. disappointing.

and what's more soul curdling than feeling like you've let someone down? not much.
at least, that's how this first born feels.

so, blog: i'm sorry i've broken this commitment. it's one of the ones i actually want to keep. i'll try harder this time around.

anyway. i'm nothing more than a typical first year who has taken on more commitments than she can shake a financial calculator at. between classes, activities, job search, and, um, sleeping, i hardly even know what's going on in the world.

what's this with the armenian genocides again? didn't we decide not to decide this a few years ago?
are we still pissing off russia?
is giuliani really on top in the repub polls?
j lo is pregnant?

i'm a news junkie who hasn't had a hit in days.
withdrawal symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, excessive emotionality, and incoherent and irrelevant additions to cocktail conversations.

but this is life. this is grad school. i know i'll be able to keep all the commitments i've made, i just might sacrifice a little sleep and sanity for them.

which is ok. it's actually quite fun.

off to do some financial modeling before i draw up an agenda for my 9am meeting with my local nonprofit clients, learn about cash flows, and figure out why an increase in F decreases market share.

...that window could sure use some windex...
