I realize I've been making a long-running list

of things that are simply no longer acceptable in my life, things that I will not under any circumstances tolerate.

This list includes:

• not getting at least 6 and a half hours of sleep a night
• not having at least a solid hour for both lunch and dinner, meal time = break time
• taking on new officer positions/leadership roles just because other people want/expect me to, not because I actually have a desire to
• similarly, wasting time doing things I don't want or need to be doing, that I could be spending doing things I enjoy
• limiting my overt portrayals of/references to my sexuality for fear of being judged
• Maya-the-blogger and Maya-the-poet making war, not love
• being on that dumb dating site.
• Quad becoming my entire social life/losing touch with my friends from before Quad
• NEW ADDITION: being so caught up in the black community that I have lost touch with the other things I care about, especially like LGBTQQA activism. It's not acceptable that SO MANY of my very close friends are LGBTQ, but I let being in the ridiculously-religious-and-thus-vaguely-homophobic black community at Princeton trump my lifelong ties to this other community.
