vroom vroom
I'd never gone boating/water skiing/tubing ever before. Sure i've been on a boat--once. That was five years ago in the philippines. It was one of those long single level tourist boats, and i was sitting with about 20 other passengers. Still fun though, but different.
This time around, i was with 4 others--high school folk :: alex, jess, peter and mr. palmer. It was super fun just to ride. I attempted to ski, but i guess hanging onto the line while water came rushing into my facial orifices doesn't really count. I realized 5 painful seconds later that it'd be better if i let go than assume i'd miraculously get my butt up standing and skiing ---without skis. I did eventually figure out how to stand, but then that only lasted a split second. I still had a blast.
Nick's movie premiere will be showing tonight at DVC. I'm looking forward to seeing it--i somehow have this feeling that it's going to be really good.
fuck you, i love me
so lately i've been going through some hate/love myself rollercoasters. *sigh* the evil prerequisites for change and self improvement. I was solid during spring semester and through the middle of the summer. I am joan, hear me roar. I'm oh so very confident and comfortable and proud of me. It was a beautiful time. Somehow, just when i thought i'd figured it all out, i'd teetered over the edge and back onto uneven pavement. This strange insecure feeling doesn't signal failure--at least i don't think it does. I see it as a challenge. I think this chaos is just my way of telling me that i can be better :: and that is exciting stuff.

back in late june, i attended a conference in LA for my internship program. I spent a few days at the LAX marriott attending workshops on leadership and work ethics. There were a few keynote speakers to spice things up, and the most memorable to me was the speech of an ex-raider, "all successful people surround themselves with positive people and a positive attitude. Their minds are uncluttered by negativity. Focus on improving yourself and the world, criticizing everyone else to build yourself up is a waste of time." So i must be honest with myself and say that i have to stop wasting time. There's me to improve, and the clock is ticking.
