| its been a long time my xanga friends...
I have been in a funk all summer.
I go to work every day just about, come home, feel like crap and then have to go back. I've been sick for like six weeks and it sucks, plus my family was running around crazy busy. Also my el life didn't leave me be for the summer which has meant a lot of added stress.
Then it came time for a weekend at the Homestead...finally...I can breathe again.
But I still feel, meh. I just find it hard to get motivated and to be myself. I'm not getting along with people that I usually have no problem with at all, and I know that it's me. But me in the way that I just can't deal with anything right now. I've had it up to here ^ since finals week, and summer isn't helping like I thought it would.
I'm working on it though, and hopefully I'll wind up back to happy over-achieving me before the summer is over
in the mean time, I'm trying, but I can't make any promises.

| If I hadn't the restriction of time, oh think of all the things I could do:
I could play the flute and piano,
sing til my chords refused,
even learn to play the violin or harp,
oh think of all the things I could do.
I could spend a year in London,
or traversing the hills of the Irish isles,
or peruse a side street in Venice,
oh think of all the things I could do.
I could think thoughtless thoughts,
or the ones I am supposed to think,
or ones full of substance,
oh think of all the things I could do.
I could spend my time in prayer,
or in the communion of others before God,
or live forever in the Love
oh think of the things I could do.
Lay around for a day with no one but me for company,
or spend an entire week laughing in the company of friends,
please God, everyone else, and myself too,
oh think of all the things I could do

| I get annoyed with and super tired with all of this school work, and yet at the same time, I know I'll really miss school when its over...Guess i dont have to worry though seeing as how I still have 5 years...
I love my schedule this semester though, really I think this might be my favorite one for my whole college career. My sequence course for Madison is about the founding of America, MY FAVORITE TOPIC EVER. and the Honors Option for the class is based on Mark Twain, and I'm completely loving analyzing novels in light of this AWESOME topic. Im also taking a Madison class that is Religion and American Literature. My professor asks hard questions of us about life and the novels we are reading--its great. Then I'm taking HST 351 which is Constitutional and Legal History of England since 1400, which is really helpful context for my other academic work, plus its just interesting to see how England evolved and how our government is different from and similar to it. Then i have Nutrition which just makes me feel badly about eating so i dont care about that.
But no really, this is what its about for me, engaging in these important discussions about life, and why we're here and what is freedom and what is democracy, what is America? Where does religion fit in the context of our political society? I LOVE IT. I get down sometimes because I don't see all the practicality in my majors sometimes, but I think understanding our government is so important to enacting any sort of change today. I always think you need to go back to the basics, and how can we possibly understand where we are today and why if we don't see how we've gotten here, how can we see where we are going or where we want to go without the same?
ahh college. makes me so thoughtful

| im just sad lately. Its a mood I can't quite snap out of, and its not like me and I hate it. Maybe its the weather, maybe its some things in my life that I'm sick of, maybe its the things in my life that I want/need to change. I don't feel like me, and it feels like im barely making it from day to day. yeah i have a lot of school work, but thats nothing different, I just kind of want to withdraw, but im trying not to let myself.
I seriously hope that the Florida Sunshine in less than a month brings me back to normal:)
PS--
I know this sounds emo, butttttt im not so you guys can get over the emo-ness
