My goal this year is not to allow the drama that is created by 500 teenage girls to have an impact on what goes on in my inner life and my life outside of the school. I tend to take on the emotions of the people around me. I want to be more conscious of not doing that this year.

And I don't mean to suggest that what works for me is the answer for everyone -- or even that I have all the answers for myself! I'm just bumbling along like everyone else.<br><br>I used to marvel at your blog, at all the places your mind would go.
