oh, how the time flies

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 01:26:48 -0400

so i can’t believe it , but my time in boston for the summer is almost over. i am attempting once again to pack all of my stuff up to head home for ten days, before beginning another year of school. i am not sure how, but it seems as though in the blink of an eye, my whole summer has flown by. (and with it, i seem to have expanded things to every corner of my room. its like bunnies. it just multiplies. i don’t even know.)

i’m trying to collect my thoughts, and wrap my head around the thought that my summer here is almost over, and i don’t feel that i was able to do nearly half the things i wanted too. as always, the best laid plans…

i did have an incredible summer though. the people i met, and the experiences i had with all my jobs are irreplaceable. working at j.crew has been unreal, and has really pushed me to new places and expectations. i had no idea that applying on a whim would be such a fantastic decision. getting to know this city has also been such a blessing, and one of the best experiences of my life. boston truly is a one of a kind city, and i am so happy that i was able to explore it as a native.

i’m headed to bed, but can’t wait to sort through all the thoughts i’ve been writing in my head.

smile on, lovelies.

love. love love love

no excuses

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:44:05 -0400

i am a very hard working person… in high school sports, i was always the first one on the field, the first one to the line, push push push. one of those “you can beat me, but i’m going to make you suffer to do it”. it was an internal thing; sort of like “if you’re not first your last”. once i got into college athletics, i would pick someone who i knew was faster than me, and i would go after them. after i reached that person, i would pick a new one. i would make it my goal to be in the top 5 in our timed workouts, the fastest, if i pushed myself.

in class i would work as hard as i could to get every extra point… not a brown noser, to say, but rather i took pride in the work that i did. and i tried to make sure that i did it to the best of my ability. running cross country instilled a pretty hard core attitude that “to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift” (pre), and i truly believe this.

however, recently, my mental strength when it comes to athletics has been a little shaky. this summer i have been working four jobs- clearly dedicated and working hard to achieve goals of making money, and working for a foundation that i strongly believe in.

but when it came to workouts for crew, i made excuses. i was tired. it was too cold. it was too hot. i could do it later. i could do it earlier. but when it comes down to it. there are no excuses. there is no reason that i should not get out and bust my ass for myself, and for my team, because i know that they are at home working as hard as they can at the gym for the team, and for me.

so recently, i had a come to jesus realization. i was unhappy, i didn’t feel well. i constantly felt guilty about the fact that i wasn’t working out, or that i would feel insanely full after a big dinner. and the only person responsible for this is me. the only person capable of fixing it, is me.

so, i’m getting my butt back in gear. it’s about time. i spent a good amount of time at the gym today, and i have to say the endorphines are carrying me right on through. i’m excited to see exactly how far i can push myself in the next 30 days.

“only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go”- t.s. eliot.

tomorrow will be both one of the best and worst days of my life.

i feel as though it’s the end of my childhood. there are photographs from the premier in london, and emma is shown both smiling and wiping away tears at the same time. as ridiculously corny and moderately pathetic as that is, i completely feel the same way.

she is absolutely fabulous. hands down no doubt about it.

And you have your choices And these are what make man great His ladder to the stars...
