I believe in mind over matter.
I believe in the human spirit to prevail.
I believe in miracles and blessings, both great and small.
I believe in possibilities.
I believe that hurdles in life are meant to be jumped over, not as something to stop us. |

Well. First of all George W. has been re-elected. This country sucks. Other than the election, this week has pretty much been crap. Winterguard has been my savior, as well as a few people who have been there for me (thanks to you three people, 2 will prolly read this) You guys rock. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at a complete anxiety-filled loss. Maybe one of these days I'll just go nuts and become one of those people that thinks they are a cat or a tree or something...hehe :o) Just joking. Well now its off to a 3 hour class. BOOOO. 3 hours of pointlessness. Happy Wednesday everyone.
P.S.- Craig, we should move to Canada and become border patrol after GW smashes your hopes of every having a normal life, and mine of ever getting a job. |

I love College, no doubt about it, and I am beginning to grow up and see things differently. But things are getting to me and stress is starting to take its toll on me. It just makes me think of simpler times, like back in Elementary school when the only problem I had was deciding which shade of blue I should use to color the ocean, and I didn't get docked for missing a comma, only for coloring outside the lines. Friendships flourished, boys had cooties, and most of the "boo boo's" that were received could be fixed with a ninja turtles or a barbie band-aid. Life then was simple. Well at the time it didn't seem like it, but now looking back, it was. But I was forced to grow up quickly because of things going on in my family life. Now I'm here... wishing I could go back, but knowing I must trudge forward and enjoy life in college. Even though times are tougher and things are a lot more difficult, there are still things that I can find comfort in like I used to, like a good coloring book and a good box o' crayons. |
