That woman?

When I started this accounting class six weeks ago, I wanted to be that woman. Not that kind of that woman. That woman who can give her all to her personal life and give her all to a full-time job and give her all to the class - having all the readings done and the homework done by the time the teacher covered the material in class. Yeah. So, I'm not sure what gave me such delusions of grandeur, but, needless to say, I'm not living up to them. Especially since, at the core, I'm a woman who needs a full eight hours of sleep and also enjoys vegging in front of the tv.

I am now that woman who is quite anxious about her exam tomorrow because she hasn't been studying regularly.

I am also that woman who dearly loves her husband and her father - the former picked up the latter from the airport, and then the two of them went to breakfast. Without me.

Poor Shokufeh - overworked and always trying to catch up is no fun.

BTW I just talked to my parents - they had an amazing time.

Julia's parents, my dad, and another couple went and joined my mom in China, and the six of them, a driver, and a guide visited 8 cities in 10 days!

It's too hard to be THAT woman... does she really exist?

I think only on some TV shows.

You should have told the name story...hee. Nah. Shh! Bad mlle! Sit!

I'm sure they'll make up for this, and the exams will be ok. So just you know for the next round [which is what I promise to myself since years].

But you know how it goes with perfect people - no one likes them really, because they're too perfect. It might be an easy for them, but everyone thinks they're not to touch, too vain, too everything. Having her as a model of some sorts is good for you, you don't need to become her though. :)

although every once in awhile, you run into those people who are just so perfect and just so nice that you really want to hate them, but they are just sooo nice and you can't come up with any reason to hate them. granted, i have only met 1 of these people in my life, but they do exist. curse the perfect ones!

seems like even THAT woman has some insecurities, something she'd like to work on, something she'd like to be better at. it'd be a pretty boring life if she didn't.

Have you read "I Don't Know How She Does It?" It hit close to home. Even though I'm not a mom yet.
