The BEGINNING of March

SO, post-travels and accomplishments and joy, I seem to have fallen into a "funk" of sorts--the best word for it is moshy, which is an Aimee Sibet-patented word. It is that feeling that things aren't quite right--maybe life is going on as normal and great things are happening, but something inside of you stops you from fully enjoying it. You feel lethargic, reflective, anti-social, and all-around not yourself.

To combat such feelings, I have compiled goals for the month of March, which will give me something to focus on and that feeling of having a purpose in life...

March goals:
  • Week 1 - do student report cards ; figure out pacing schedule for completing textbooks
  • Week 2 - wire money home so I can pay my student loans ; mail a package to a friend
  • Week 3 - come to a finalized decision about what happens to me in June
  • Week 4 - buy a plane ticket home for (hopefully) June
In addition:
  • Visit the Tretyakov art gallery
  • Go say "hey" to our friend Lenin's preserved body in Red Square
FRIENDS. I need some help--my resolution for February was to walk on a frozen river, which i ACCOMPLISHED. What shall my resolution for March be???

    HEATHER! I just have to say that this blog really explained a lot of what I am feeling right now too! Things aren't necessarily bad or anything, but I just feel so...everything that you listed basically. I am wishing you the best! Hopefully I will see you in the summer or soooooon.

    Heather, I know exactly how you feel. I think everybody is in the same funk.

    Here's a resolution for March: walk on a not-frozen river!

    You could steal your sisters thingy about different rivers and mark one in Russia.
