Yoga Nidra

I'm so incredibly bored. I am at work, just chilling at the front desk, and there are things that I could do, but I'm not doing them because I want to sit (well, actually stand) at the front desk and do absolutely nothing, and complain, complain. My feet hurt, so does my back.
So, I could write a letter to Sean. He writes me regularly, but I haven't written him in ages because I put a lot of thought into my letters. The last one took me a couple of hours to write. It was funny and witty. It took a long time! Wit like that doesn't just come from nowhere. It takes hours to think up things. I could also address a letter to one of my friends. It has been sitting on my desk since last year, and continues to collect dust. I'm horrible at keeping in touch.
I finished out this semester, and was pleasantly surprised when I received my grades. All A's! Yea! That was my yoga nidra goal for the year. As I lay on the hard wooden floor of the excercise room, I had to chant, well not really chant, but say to myself my wish 3 times. I say chant because there is so much chanting in yoga, as there is so much of the word chant in this blog now. I have to say, the semester has been trying, well actually, it almost killed me. I really didn't think that I would be able to pass everything. Well, that isn't true, I knew I would pass, but I just didn't think I'd get all A's. I am taking a moment to pat myself really hard on the friggin back because I took 15 credit hours and worked 40 hrs a week. I realize that there are people out there who do way more, but not very many. Good job Amanda, well done, you are going places with your life.
I am going to Europe in approxomately 1 month! I am excited, but at the same time aprehensive. There is still so much to do, but we have made leway. Vanessa (my roommate) and I have all of the tickets with the exception of Riga to Budapest. It is exciting. We still need to get that last ticket, but I think it will be wise for us to wait until we get there to worry about that. We now have to figure out where to stay, and then we get to do the fun stuff: planning what we are going to do! I am debating a bull fight in Barcelona. While it seems like a cultural insight, I hear that they stab the bulls over and over again. They have a slow painful death. I don't think that I'd be able to handle it. We are flying into London, Barcelona, Rome, Riga, Prague, and Budapest. I wish that I could have more time so that I could visit more places. That should have been my yoga nidra wish.
