I read Bridget Jones’s Diary as part of a novel writing class (in which I ended up getting an incomplete, long story) in my junior year.  To be honest there wasn’t much to remember about it other than “this chick makes me look emotionally balanced,” but I do remember one actual interesting concept.  Human development was compared to a snail growing its shell, in which there’s a hard turn in the circle.  Basically, the theory is that coming back to the same problem doesn’t mean the person’s not making an progress at all.

I seriously hope that’s how it works ’cause I keep coming back to the same thing.  Proving myself.  To college, to work, to family, to myself…seems like I’m always trying not to let someone down, and mostly I do anyway, or that’s how it seems.  I guess someday I’ll either stop falling short or stop caring whether other people think I measure up.
