Helloo!

Life is going pretty well for me. I'm quite excited about spring break; I have a lot of simple plans, like running and visiting the museum of modern art in san francisco and whatnot. I just came back from a jog with a friend, and I'm feeling very refreshed and enthused about life. I do yoga when I wake up, and that always helps start the day off right. =)

To talk about what we're learning in class, I must say it's a heartwrenching ordeal. I was looking at a website earlier that had a lot of good ways to help in the campaign against genocide. I can only hope that we will really take action. It makes me wish this was a required class because I've learned so much from it.

I used NVC the other evening when my friend and I got into an argument. I caught myself constantly saying "I feel as if", and I had taught him about NVC and he also caught himself saying "I feel like". We were actually able to sort things out and it felt fulfilling to do so using NVC. Yay!
