In the past few weeks, I've realized who my real friends are. They're not the ones who necessarily hang/hung out with you the most, tell you everything about themselves and their problems, or use you as a pawn for their own purposes. They are the ones who you can call when you're scared of what you might do, or what you're thinking about, or your ( Read more... )

I've been reading alot about courage, which is something I've had difficulty with in the past concerning roommate and other issues. According to the quote, you can't have courage unless you're scared, which I am. I hate creating conflict, expecially with people I live with, but sometimes it needs to be done. I've also been speaking with several ( Read more... )

So that old adage 'those who can't do, teach' seems somewhat inaccurate. Teachers I've had are mostly experts in their fields, quite contrary to the aforementioned saying that one action automatically eliminates any value of the other. Then again, perhaps the better phrase would be, 'those who can't do, criticize.' I've admittedly fallen victim ( Read more... )

Settling into the house has been easy and peaceful, for the most part. But I'm actually getting more quickly adjusted to it than I did to Clairmont. I'm psyched about certain new friends, as well as really making the effort to make the most of those I already have. This summer and coming year will probably be excellent makings for a new outlook ( Read more... )

The new house is working out very well. So far it's a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, my room is about as organized as it's going to get, and soon we will have internet! Although, the lack of current internet might have been a good thing, I've been needing to wean myself of the addiction. Now that finals have ended, I've been alot more able to ( Read more... )

My furniture is being assembled as I speak, and soon my room will be finished! I'm glad to be getting out of Clairmont for the following reasons ( Read more... )

The party on Friday kind of sucked...even though a bunch of awesome people, including DeVon, were there, but I missed him. Brooke and I went back to my pad and hung out for a few hours, then Andrew came over and it was good. I bought furtniture yesterday at Ikea with my mom and Katie, had dinner with Lauren and Andy from Oxford, and then hung out ( Read more... )

It would appear that my prospects are now coming to light and more real than I originally thought them to be. I have been designated by a certain friend as her 'coming out' guide, for which I am grateful of her respect for me. There have been superficial flirtations from others, but nothing yet solid. However, sometimes superficiality is only ( Read more... )

Ok, maybe I spoke too soon. Oh well ( Read more... )

So...I don't deal with stress very well, I tend to employ destructive methods for seeking relief and wish to change this seemingly unknowing habit. I believe progress has been made though...rather than wanting to feel completely different or absent, I've decided to not allow the problem itself to get to me...why so much anxiety? Well, ( Read more... )
