lately, i've been...
+ digging deeply into my childhood and middle school years to recover memories lost or otherwise suppressed. i’ve been looking at my old yearbooks, reading my old journals, and journaling anew with some kind of fury. i’m trying to reconnect all the pieces of me.
+ i’ve been thinking a lot about identity and what my identity is. what does being Russian-American mean to me? where does the Georgian part of me fit in? where does the writer, the artist, and the athlete fit in? the parent? the career woman?
+ baking nutella brownies.
+ buying fall dresses.
+ wondering if i’ve passed the bar. i’ll know next week.
+ looking forward to my birthday, which falls on the day before Thanksgiving this year.
+ reading, and reading, and reading some more. currently number one on the docket is this book. next up: this one, this one, and this one.
+ reflecting on my friendships, lost and current.
+ taking tennis lessons (the first of any kind of official lesson i've ever had in my life!) and seeing improvements to my game; toying with the idea of playing in a club.
+ pot roasting pork shoulder.
+ running in the early mornings with Sophie.
