Down

So right now I'm a little down... here's why:

1) Everyone has moved out of the Residence Halls and I'm all alone in my dorm (even Sean went home!)
2) I just saw how much money is left in my bank account as of right now
3) I also just realized how much money will be left over after I pay for a test that is required for me to get into the college of education. I thought I qualified for a fee waiver, but no.

It could be worse. I have no idea when I want to take my test, but I need to hurry up and schedule it so I don't spend the money I need for it. UGH.

At least I'm on a break from school and at least I'm not homeless. Worst case senario, I ask my parents for money/apply a semester late to the teaching program. It could be worse, seriously. At least I'm in college.

Something I Love:

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
-Mark Twain

This reminds me of when I was small- so many people told me I couldn't do anything- so now look at me. I love life now that I'm free :)

...

I wish I could be like the ocean; completely free and careless.

Sometimes, it's not very easy to take a step back from life and breathe; it's so easy to just build up stress and fight against the current.

I think it's completely cliche to say "It's me against the world", but I have felt that way my whole life until August 2008. That is when I broke free, molded myself and who I want to be and started taking my life into my own hands. Now, I am taking it a step further and working on my physical self.

We are never perfect, but that doesn't mean we can't love ourselves. Sometimes I forget this about myself.

Dead Day

The day for finals prep is labeled "dead day", but I don't think it's official. I was pretty productive today, which will benefit me later when I only have to cram for a Geology final. I'm sooo close to being done, I can taste it!

I'm also really close to Dean's List- you need a 3.5; I have a 3.46!

This semester went by pretty fast and I am surprised that it's already ending... I have really come to love my roommates, so it will be sad to not see them as often next year when they live off campus.
