Quotes

Don't you dare, for one more second, surround yourself with people who are not aware of the greatness that you are. ~Jo Blackwell-Preston

“Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.”

“Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.”

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Tomorrow is never a promise.

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.

‎""I know it seems hard sometimes, but remember one thing, through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it gets, keep your chest out, keep your head up and handle it."

Vocabulary

"Quit" has never really been in my vocabulary since college, I quit a lot of stuff in high school.  The only thing in college I dropped out of was anatomy, because I was doing horrible and didn't need. it.  I feel like quitting, right now.  Quitting everything.  My extracurriculars are consuming my life way more than they should.  I don't get enough or good enough sleep.  I am still kind of sick and I'm trying to get better but i am going no where.  I'm trying to not get behind in classes but I need my grades to stay up and it's becoming too much.  All I want to do is lay in bed and sleep.  Every time I think about what I have to do that day, or that week, I want to cry.  No joke. Tomorrow: class, advising, meeting, homework, upac meeting, bake sale, meeting, more homework, some sleep.  I literally do not get a break.  Wednesday: class, homework, class, test, meeting, homework, maybe sleep.  Thursday: upac hour, class, meeting, homework, mugshots till late, homework, maybe sleep.  Friday: class, homework, and then I have a number of thing I need to be at that are all at the SAME BASIC TIME.
I am spreading myself way too thin, now I want to quit.  I can't thought, I can't quit.

Another thing, boys suck.  Period.  End of discussion.

"The pessimists see difficulty in every opportunity.  The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty" - Winston Churchill

Communicative Arts and Literature

That's my major. I am a communicative arts and literature teaching candidate.  I want to teach high school English.  And I thought I had seen some bad teacher, like my physics teacher from high school.  Then I got to WSU.  Every teacher I've had so far, has been really good.


 I was so excited for this semester because I have classes that i like and am good at, except geology.  And I got to my English class... then, nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  He is boring, and we do nothing in class.  If he is lecturing or doing a presentation he reads off the screen but AT the screen, not at us.  His explanations for papers and homework is minimal to none.  Like this final paper, I don't understand it at all.  it's frustrating.  Because I need to know what to do if you want me to do something.  A rubric would be nice, or some guideline.  But no.  Nothing.


The main point of this is to say that I will NEVER BE A TEACHER LIKE HIM.


ANYWAY.  On to something more interesting, I found a new favorite website.  It's called dearblankpleaseblank. Here's an example:


Dear religious homophobes,
What happened to "love thy neighbor as thy self"?
Sincerely, an accepting Christian


And I feel sick today, so I am going to go take a nap.

APRIL FOOLS!

But seriously.  haha well first off I want to say a big huge...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 
to the best brother every! haha Patrick, I am so proud of you and the man you are becoming.  And just remember, even if you have your permit I am not driving with you.  Because you shouldn't be old enough to be GETTING your permit.  I feel old.  Also, congratulations on making the "A" lacrosse team, you have worked so hard to get where you are and you fully deserve it!


Anyway. I am really glad this week is over.  I mean truly VERY glad!  :) I had a geology project that was due today that I finished up last night, I was kind of worried about it but it turned out really well in the end.  And I didn't have any tests or anything this week, WHICH WAS SUPER NICE! :D  And my friend might be my 4th roommate next year so we are going to look at the apartment together today.  Alyssa, I'm super excited!  It'd  be so fun if we got to live together!  haha I'm excited for Mark and Kendra to meet you :P


This is going to be a short post, but oh well.  I'm really excited to go home for Easter.  Mostly because I miss my family but ALSO because we are going to a Twins game! :D I love me some Twins :P  That was great English.  So I register for this fall on the 15th. at noon.  Which is basically the LAST session for registration.  I hate this!  I'm taking 18 credits this semester and I am STILL one of the last "to-be" sophomores to register?  I'm sorry but that just doesn't seem right to me.  Whatever.  I'll be fine.  Speaking of classes, if all goes well  will be able to apply for my program in fall semester meaning i will START in Spring semester.  I am super excited.  And most of the classes I am taking are English classes.  Like intro. to creative writing.  Hello??  Does that not just scream my name? :D


Dynamic Earth is starting soon so I should probably get off this, Dr. Johnson hates when people are on their laptops in class. Eh.
