I realized recently I have forgotten how to:
-Take a compliment
-French braid my own hair
-Write in cursive

Thoughts as of late
My thoughts, as of late:
I've been tutoring high school kids for over a year now and I've developed a problem. I can't stop seeing myself in their habits, specifically their bad habits. While I prepare myself, at least mentally, for graduate school, I have had to come to terms with how I embarked upon my former schooling. My curse, I know realize, was a slightly above-average intelligence coupled with a canny ability to memorize copious amounts of information in a snitch. My entire cognizant educational career was spent keeping myself securely "above average." As the eldest I never had someone to live up to or be better than. So with illimitable options, I chose the path of least resistance. It's sad, really.
