Last Blog

This week is looking more positive already. Got my two papers done and will perform my skit for my dumb health careers class tonight. I'm hoping to take my math test later this week. Things are turning out better than I expected. And it's almost Friday! Hooray!!! Sorry for the negative post yesterday. Was in a bit of a funk and stressed out about classes and finals and whatnot and so forth. But today is a better day.
It's weird to think this will be my last blog. Can't believe the semester is almost over. Hoping that they go well-kinda nervous about that aspect. Anyways, since it is my last blog I figured it would be suiting to include a few extra quotes.
Quotes of the Day:
“Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane."-H.P. Lovecraft
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” -Marie Curie
“If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were." -Khalil Gibran
“But if everything was always smooth and perfect, you'd get too used to that, you know? You have to have a little bit of disorganization now and then. Otherwise, you'll never really enjoy it when things go right.” -Sarah Dessen

I am very frustrated with my health science teacher. I would not recommend this class to anyone. The teachers are not organized, not very approachable and not even that knowledgeable about the subjects at hand. For our current project he has not even decided how it will be graded. It is due on Wednesday and he doesn't have all the details worked out yet. Also, I had questions in regards to our most recent paper. It took two emails and a week later for him to reply back to me. He replies back two days before the paper is due. It is really frustrating. On top of it the final is on Monday and it would be safe to say that majority of the class doesn't even know what it is over. I am one of those people. I know the basics but not the details. Don't get me wrong, I am a good student and I work hard for my studies but it is hard to study for something when you don't even know what you are to be studying for. Cannot wait for this class to be over!
Since its been a while, couple quotes today...

“The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.”-Laura Ingalls Wilder

“The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.” -Stephanie Perkins

thinking ahead

Is it weird and slightly wrong to be thinking about christmas ideas? I know we haven't approached thanksgiving yet so that is why I feel that it isn't right. Yet on the other hand, it is better to get a jump start so I won't have to do last minute gifts. I think I am gonna do homemade gifts this year. I try to do a couple every year but I am going to try and do majority, if not all my gifts myself. So far, it is not much of a challenge. I have a general idea of what I am gonna do for most people on my list. Making the gifts will prove to be the challenging part.

Quote of the day: “It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it's so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn't coma back. You're left so alone that you can't explain. Damn, there's nothing like that, is there? I've been there and you have too. You're nodding your head.” -Henry Rollins, The Portable Henry Rollins

officially winter

Well it is officially winter. I'm ok with snow. I don't mind it. Ice is another story. I HATE ice. I am so afraid of wiping out. Pathetic I know but I can't help it. I do not like lack of control when it comes to my feet. Staying here for the weekend. I feel like I have gotten nothing accomplished. I don't have much homework so that's a good thing but maybe it would be better if I did. I might actually feel productive. Maybe tomorrow will be better. A couple quotes today for fun...

Quotes of the Day: “Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall.”-Jodi Picoult

“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."-E.E. Cummings

great weekend

Decided to go home for the weekend. I am glad I did. I got to spend time with my Godchild and my other cousins. Also, had a "date" with my dad. He took me out for breakfast and I had Pumpkin pancakes-amazing! I actually did homework this weekend so I was happy about that. Not that I normally don't, but usually I find it hard to concentrate and find desire to do my homework when I am home visiting my family. I got my scheduled figured out for next spring so I am super excited about that. Not to mention relieved.
Went to the library for five hours yesterday and spent about four hours on homework today. I'm glad I did-I got so much done! I feel like a weight is lifted. I'm excited about reading the last story-I think it will be interesting.

Quote of the Day:“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”-John Lennon

Randomness....

To go home this weekend or not to go home? That is currently the question of the moment....along with what am I gonna do for classes next spring on top of potentially changing my major. Any one know if you can take Comp. II and Literature at the same time? Or is that not advised? Or creative writing instead of comp?
I'm enjoying the current unit so far in class. I enjoy stories and breaking them down to discover the meanings within. I'm not sure how much I will care for it when it comes time to write my literary analysis. But there's not much I can do about it I suppose....

Quote of the Day: “People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.”-Lemony Snicket

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."-Arundhati Roy

what to do with my life

I'm glad the RBAA draft is done! Feels like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. I was worried how it would turn out and if I would meet the word count. I actually went over the 1800 word count so I was relieved about that. Now to working on my schedule for next semester. I'm planning on changing my major so it will be less than exciting. Trouble is what exactly I'm changing to. I'm currently a nursing major but I am having major second thoughts about it. I want to work with children in some way but I don't think that teaching is right for me. I feel like I just turned to nursing because I didn't know what else to chose. Now, I am researching different careers involving children and the ones I am looking at require a Master's degree. It is frustrating and confusing to say the least.
Quote of the Day: “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”-Ayn Rand
