from the Life and times of TRISH STOWELL (the early twenties)

sometime on March of '03 while at network admin school in SD. Just before leaving for westpac.

MTV. The televised equivalent of those beauty/fashion magazines that tear at the self esteem of young women everywhere. Case in point: Sorority Life Marathon. I can't tear myself away. Why didn't I join a sorority like a normal person? I start to think people who don't do the "Greek Thing" might not make it in society. Do I do enough to foster personal growth? How are my relationships with peers?
I feel like a major underachiever. I have cellulite. I eat wrong. I have pimples. I am shit. Starting tomorrow I will launch the ultimate campaign: the campaign for myself.
1. sign up for SAT
2. take college pre-test for ship classes since I'll be on the boat for 4 months and can't do ll the things I wish I could, i.e. dance lessons, community service, etc. But it's a start.

Real sharpness comes without effort
No growth without assistance
No action without reaction
No desire without restraint
Now, give yourself up and find yourself again.
