Something that Heather at Dooce.com does that I love is her daily style section. Today I have a must-have item that I have owned forever and am finally committed to using. It is my Moleskine notebook, and lately I've been using it every night to mostly reflect on my day. I've also been using it to really dig into the personal issues that I have been having lately: my insecurity, my uncertainty, my anxiety (enough -tys for you?). And I've found it really therapeutic to write one or two small pages every day just to close out the day.

I've actually had a rollercoaster day, but in the past few hours it has been really good. I am hoping to end the day on a high note, so that I wake up tomorrow in a better mood. I have about half of my reading over break done, and hopefully the rest will get done tonight and tomorrow. Other than that, there is not a whole lot going on in my life. It's nice to be on break, but I really look forward to getting back to school. It's the most beautiful, and last, seven weeks of my time in college, and I want to really enjoy it. Must commit to the cognitive mindset to get there!
