So I've decided to try meditation again and stick with it. I just went out to purchase a book on it with an audio cd. I'm feeling the need to improve my self and get rid of much of my emotional baggage that's making me feel stuck. Lots of drama lately.

I've never been able to meditate successfully and boy do I need it. I am kinetic and hysterical half the time. I do yoga and I always have candles and incense going in my bedroom.
Since I know I won't get to my comments--if you ever go into academia, you will LOVE the grading part...anyway, U of C. Did I like it? No, I really didn't, but I don't think you are supposed to like it but appreciate it. I credit the school with making me the intellectual I am today; it prepared me on how to research, how to pose hard questions and how to argue well. But like any grad school, I came across sychophants and people who would sell a kidney just to get in good with a professor. It was also one of the loneliest places I had ever been; people were almost too smart to have a normal conversation. I studied so hard that I didn't even know who Michael Jordan was. In Chicago! But I also met my husband there, who, like me, was a freak so we got along well. I've lost track of most of my buds--some got jobs, some moved out of the country, some changed careers, some are probably still there trying to finish their dissertation. It's that kind of place. But I wouldn't trade the training and the opportunity to work with what I believe are/were (a few are dead now) some of the greatest minds in this country and in some cases the world.
Hope that helped. You probably didn't want all that.
