A Step In the Journey

I applied for something earlier this month that has multiple rounds. I'm not going to get into it too much because I don't want to jinx it, but I found out today I made it past the first round. Next I have to take a test in January/February. This is where the 3000 or so of us get cut down to a bit less than 800. ::Gulp:: I am super excited and nervous at the same time. Wish me luck.

6 word memoir?

As I was sitting here just going about my business tonight, 2 of these popped into my head:

I need to let love in.

Romantic heart, cynical brain, open mind

I am not sure which is more appropriate, or if either of them are, but there it is. In any case, now I have 2 six word memoirs. Thanks Mo :-)

I'm Judging You

When you get on the bus at the metro stop instead of walking the five blocks from the metro to work, I'm judging you. Especially because a lot of you could really use the exercise. And really, five blocks? It's not like that's a marathon or something. So please, next time just take the extra 5-10 minutes and walk instead of all piling on the bus for a three minute (if that) bus ride. Maybe then I will stop judging you.

Those 4 (or 5) Little Words

I was watching How I met Your Mother on Tuesday, and laughing as always. It was about Barney taking lessons from Ted on how to date Robin. Its complicated to explain, but the main point is that Ted pointed out that Robin has been waiting her whole life to hear her dad say "I'm proud of you, eh," (she is Canadian, hence the "eh" and 5 word phrase). I was more laughing at Robin's reaction then paying attention to that particular line in the show. Later that night though, as I was having dinner with Dad and Meaghan, Dad said to me, "I don't think we tell you often enough, but I'm proud of you." Those four words mean so much. After all, one of my biggest fears is disappointing the people who I love and care about, so it is nice to know, especially since I value Dad's opinion most of all. I guess my main thought is that we all need to hear those words every now and then from people we care about because they really make you feel good.
