I feel my feet at the edge of big change. There is a movement going on in Detroit. The will of the people is coming alive before my eyes. I am not alone in my head! I (we) really am going to change the world, and it doesn't stop at teaching inside a classroom ( Read more... )

so the time comes again. every time i post in this journal something in my life is going wrong. I am constantly comparing myself to others. This is not a valid way to perceive one's self. I am me, not them. Yet everyday all I do is compare. I will NEVER compare to the ones I pick out to compare myself with. The people who stick out, that I end up ( Read more... )

one of the worst feelings is trying hard to achieve something only to watch your efforts crash and burn in the end. The harsh blow of failure is almost too much for me to deal with. Even though I am awake and moving and talking and thinking, i just want to cease to exist for awhile. I can hardly face myself and it causes my self perception to do a ( Read more... )

It's so common to go to a party and talk to someone about their astrological sign but not so common for someone to ask another how the viking lander is progressing in giving us images of mars. Or how humans have electron microscopes and can see even a snowflake up SOOO close. I wonder about the general public sometimes. what if a comet, soaring ( Read more... )

fall semester 2008 starts. I haven't had a break since last summer. However, i'm ready to keep progressing through. i have absolutely no money hence no where to go. This is such a weird feeling i haven't felt in awhile. I have homework to do but so much time to do it all. With no money to do anything and all my friends dispersed around doing their ( Read more... )

So I'm at the school library right now because I thought my classes for the day started at 8:30 a.m. but I forgot I only have one class starting at 10:30 today. I have such bad heart burn. I look forward to going back to sleep tonight. What a week its been. Saturday I took mark to my family reunion at the metro park. It was pretty lame. My extended ( Read more... )

no matter how early I get to bed, pressing the snooze button a million times is still a continued tradition. Since math class is requiring me to use the alarm this spring, i'll really have work on that. Math has not offered any challenges for me yet. Which is a good thing in a way but I'm kind of excited to learn new concepts ( Read more... )

things are a lot better this week. Bio isn't so hard and i now offer guitar lessons for money. If you know anyone that wants cheap guitar lessons, let me know. i had a great past four days. I owe a lot of it to mark. I have to go because we are going swimming now. :)

I got back from Seattle yesterday morning. I went skiing for the second time in my life. We went to the mountains in a little town two hours away from Seattle. The sights I could see from those heights were gorgeous. I also tried snowboarding for the first time on the second day we went out there. I face planted as soon as my feet clipped into the ( Read more... )
