Yesterday. Today.

The women dominating my thoughts today (in no particular order):

Taylor Swift


Sasha Grey



Lily Cole


and Karen Armstrong


These are ladies I can respect in completely different capacities and make me happy to be a woman.

So Jake went home and Phil is in Braddock this week. I'm on my own again and its a welcome change. I'm learning that I am better on my own. In some ways I dont want to be but I may just have to accept that this is a part of who I am.

My mother told me I was the most selfish person she knows today and somehow I am not insulted by it at all. I know that I have a tendency to want things to go my way and sometimes that means hurting peoples feelings. Im working on not being such an asshole about it but I see nothing wrong with knowing what I want.

Its good to have some quiet time to myself again. I started studying today. Reading about Islam and taking notes. I've been brainstorming ideas for my admissions essays and I may just write one about religion. Its either that or coffee. Haha.
An admissions essay about travel or 'how I relate to Holden Caulfield' just feels really cliche and I need a personal statement anyway....
