"I dance wildly inside myself; I yell within..."

“I love myself when I am laughing... and then again when I am mean and impressive" - Zora Neale HurstonIn honor of the end of my first semester of senior year with American Literature, I thought I would start this post with some of my favorite quotes from one of the authors we read who most inspired me. Zora Neale Hurston is so incredibly smart and self-aware and humorous that reading her work just made made me feel like I should stand up and yell something extremely profound and artistic. Even though she was part of something larger, more meaningful and more beautiful than I could I ever know or understand, I still feel so connected to her words.
"Sometimes I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me."
If only we could all be so poetic, self-aware and intelligent.
How can it almost be that time?
I'm nervous about the next 5 months of my life... I'm nervous because I must learn Signed Exact English so I can start my job as an aide in a deaf elementary program, I must finish this damn paper due in 8 hours, I must clean up the apartment and get myself home for the holidays, I must write the first draft of my thesis, I must interview for my application to the masters program, I must get into the masters program so that I can get my MAT and teaching license, I must reorganize and furnish my apartment because my roommate had to move out when she got a new job, I must deal with living alone and how nervous it makes me while also coming to terms with the fact that I'm lonely without being able to see my best friend every day, I must find a way to finish my final plastic steps even though after this Christmas, I will not have a single break longer than a week until next Christmas (If I get into the masters program), I must remember to sleep, I must start exercising again to work on toning and honor the fact that I have changed my goal to loose an extra 10 pounds, I must graduate college and I must get a dog so that I can have company and not feel so lonely with all my good friends graduated or relocated far away. And additionally, I must get a prescription for Xanax or invest in a wine cellar so I can not be so nervous and just fucking relax and remember to take a deep breath and pace myself.
I found this picture the other day on a blog I read and loved it. See! Why can't I get a dog or kidnap my dog from home, who my father has become too obsessed with to let her stay with me. I just need a friend to go on a hike with, who I can take care of and who can keep me company and keep the sketchy characters and thieves that roam around this neighborhood away from my apartment.
