| I am so proud of myself right now! I finished my Brit. Lit. paper in one day, and I think it's pretty good. I read over it twice and cleaned up the grammar and polished it with some more quotations and responses by me. I'm hoping I will get a good grade on it. I'm supposed to be reading Sense and Sensibility right now, and I'm fixing to after I finish this post. Change is such a good thing. I have felt crappy all last week, but now, I feel rejuvenated and more alive than I have in a long time. Everything is falling into place. I am changing, but it's a change that I like. To quote Polonius from Hamlet, I am being "true to [myself]." For the first time in long time, I feel independent from everyone and loved by my friends. I'm getting closer to them than what I've been in a long time, and it feels good to reestablish those bonds. Fun times staying up late with my boys! Anyway, I'm going to try and read some before bedtime! Much love to you all! | | |
| Good morning, and listen to that wind blow! It's awful windy here today, but that's not going to slow me down. I've got much to do today, what with work and school, but everything is going to be fine. I've just to have a little faith in myself and stop beating myself up over pointless things. I do have a lot to do by Tuesday (research in Brit. Lit. and completion of my journal for Shakespeare). Oh yeah, and that silly project for Diversity. That has turned out to be the most pointless class that I have taken so far. Thank God that education is off my list. Anyway, I've got to get ready for school, so I'll see ya'll later! Much love. | | |
| Happy Halloween, first of all, to everyone! I know it's past All Hallow's, but the spirit remains alive. I got to dress up today as Dr. Collins, decked out in wig and heels! It was fun, and I went to work like it; thus, I turned many heads and got a few laughs. I was hoping that our (mine, Preston, Carey, and Beth) party would be fun, and it was... for everyone else. I had to work in the lab tonight, and of course, the party was at 8:30, while I'm working. I was hoping that the party would still be going strong, but everyone was nearly ready to go whenever I got back to the apt. So, when everyone left, I went on a cleaning rampage, and I know this is going to sound silly: if I hadn't have cleaned the kitchen, I think I might have either blown up or cried. I missed everything, and I just want to scream at life because my friends are all I have now. No significant other, no nothing! I rely on them now for my support and my sanity. So, when something like this happens, it feels that I miss out on everything. I could be just being dramatic, but I don't care. My "peelings" were hurt! Anyway, since I've bored you all with my uninteresting life, I'm going to go and study for my Brit. Lit. test. It's tomorrow at 9, and I hope I do well. I understand close to everything, and I want to make an A this time instead of a B. Well, night all! | | |
| Ah, it's so nice to be able to post from my own computer. The stupid campus computing dept. on campus had this blocked, so xanga users couldn't post. That's just like them. Anyway, I'll veer away from that subject.
I don't have much to say-- all I can say is BLEH on everything. My weekend was crap; perhaps not all aspects of it. I did get to spend some quality time with Courtney W., to whom I never get talk to as often as I'd like. I think, though, I'll close with a poem...
Contemplation of the Season © October 12, 2006 Lady Autumn surrounding me Filling me with scents of peppermint and cinnamon Lively does her chilly wind blow around the fallen, cracked leaves That linger on the dusty, broken streets. Lady Autumn, blow your wind around me, Encompass me with your pleasure Your saged wisdom I would embrace Come Lady, fair and sleek. With a soft, red breath, Lady Autumn swirls the grass Making it to bend to her will, transforming it into her endless sea All nature kneels to her vastness and her power, long away hidden by treacherous Spring and Summer, Who seek only to beguile others with their greening flora and ravishing warmth. There is a bitterness to Lady Autumn, perhaps untouched by her three sisters. Autumn brings with her a chariot--- black are its wheels and snarling are its horses. They whisper, “Come with us to Elysium.” Young and old hear their calls and climb aboard. The lady whispers softly to them, “Do not be afraid, there will you find--- My sister’s daughter, who will watch for your souls.” For you see, Autumn is a segue into death, its grim herald. Slowly, Lady Autumn grants wisdom to all with the news she brings--- “Winter is nigh Take, therefore, no rest, Do not sigh. To bear thee hence The chariot will come Repay in earnest your recompense--- for to Elysium you will not go--- Ever to wander the earth- to and fro… | | |
| Well, here I am again making another post. Things could be better; they could be worse. I will just have to deal and accept things I cannot change. This isn't a pick-me-up post, so if you're looking to be depressed, just stop reading now... Things happen for a reason, so I am told. Although we may not always agree with what happens to us, we have no choice but to accept and move on. Lingering on "what-ifs" will not help in the moving on process, and I guess that's where I get hung up. I think, "What if I did this this way?" or "If I had said this, this wouldn't have happened." Those are my thoughts, and I didn't fully grasp them until now. Sometimes, there is no possible way you can make yourself love someone else. No matter how hard you try, it will not work. The same applies vice versa. It's hard when you thought you've found that special someone, and then it all goes to crap. There are doubts and confused feelings, which are normal in any relationship. They are, at times, unwelcome thoughts, but they still have the potency to linger. Sometimes, they build and grow off of other doubts, and then, "in short, you have a ghastly mess," to quote George Banks from Mary Poppins. I can't change what has happened; I only have the power to become a better person and learn from this experience. I don't want to be selfish, and I don't think I am. I'm only trying to get out my thoughts the only way I know how. Good night all. It's difficult to say good night when, in fact, it's going to be a horrible night for me... | | |
