half empty, half full

Negative thoughts I need to flush out of my system (because I am a positive person, damnit!):

• feeling fat
• the lack of close friends in this stupid town
  
• mourning the loss of my international travel plans/life in Prague
  
• trying to figure out how to balance my social life and being healthy/training
• the fear/dread of what the hell am I going to do if I don't have a job by August
  
• coming to terms with the possibility of staying in this area
  

Positive things I have going for me right now to counteract the above:

• I'm having a blast at Seals this summer...something I haven't had for a long time
• I'm working really hard at being healthy, learning a lot about nutrition, and loving it
• when all is said and done, I really do want to be a teacher
  
• moving out of my parents' house is on the horizon! 11 months is too long!
• going to grad school for a year was the best decision I'd ever made, and dropping out of it was an even better one...that doesn't really go with this list, but just a thought
  
• I literally have friends all over the world.
