Coming to Terms

[flamesinger]

I guess it's about time I came to terms with my inability whatsoever to balance my time. I thought that if I took two seemingly "Easy A" classes, I'd be able to balance my work schedule with everything else. Now, I realize that one of said "Easy A" classes has become the hardest class I have...and took way too much of my time this semester. In

Why worry so much about what others think?

If people aren't willing to accept you for what you are, f@#$ them. You have to realize that being yourself, being true to yourself is what is really important. If it takes a semester or a decade, you will get there. There are those of us who have faith in you. It doesn't do to take life too seriously, you'll never make it out of it alive.

Thank you.

I'm certain just about everyone now has noticed that I have major issues with expectations. They were instilled continually into me from an early age. It's a hard habit to break, especially when so many people constantly ask me when I'm going to finish. Many times, it just makes me want to become more of a recluse. I'm not necessarily certain why.

You could decide to run off and join the circus tomorrow and I would still be your friend and support you. But you're right, sometimes family can unintentionally pressure when they think they're encouraging. You have to be okay with it though, its your life. The only expectations you have to meet are your own. As for being a recluse, its natural to pull back when you feel attacked. Being constantly asked when you're going to be done is an attack of sorts.

I recommend Fencing! I took in the summer, and for just showing up and making a fool of myself with a foil, I got a 4.0 that helped my cumulative GPA tremendously. Hey, AND it was cool.

Just watch out for the pulling of groin muscles you didn't know you had until you broke them. :)

Hang in there... *support*

As you've put it, "People Suck!!!!!!! They'll piss you off!" Don't let anyone tell you what you should and shouldn't do. Be yourself, and screw the rest.

Do what you want and be who you are.
