On Marriage
I feel as though the subject of marriage is coming up more and more often. I only expect this to increase as my life goes on. For so long I was able to take solace in the fact that “those decisions,” those “adult,” “real life,” matters were far from having to be dealt with. I guess that’s why when a group of strong Latinas that I admire broached the...

Dinner
Came home and ate steak and had a beer. It was delicious.
Sometimes I feel so “masculine.” Whatever the fuck that means.

Thank you for wearing your natural hair to the Oscars, Viola Davis.
You were brave enough to challenge a long standing beauty ideal and your image on media outlets everywhere matters a lot more than people think.

Me: Aww (Feigned). How long have you been together?
Coworker: Almost a year. He hasn’t said ‘I love you’ yet but I know he does. He can’t do better than me.

Clipped.
Sometimes I think about how much I curtailed my goals since graduating from Berkeley. It makes my heart ache.

Easy A
Today was a rough day on the job. My 11th graders have not been on task lately and haven’t been responding to my attempts at reprimanding them. I talked to their teacher whom I really respect and she suggested I, “stop being so nice.” I trust her input and it made me upset to think that my love of conversing with my students may actually be hindering them academically.

Today I feel alive.
Spent 2.5 hours cleaning my room and doing laundry. Threw out 3 bags of crap.
Showered and now making dinner.

Groening describes the show as “‘a bunch of writers and animators trying to be as funny as possible and still tell stories with heart. James L. Brooks insisted from the very beginning that the characters had to be real and if it were just a cartoon he wasn’t interested in pursuing it. And I think that was a really smart thing.”

My student sent me an email to tell me he has a card he bought me for Valentine’s Day. Why am I crying?
