The Good: Waterskiing trip. Very fun, even though I never successfully got up on the skis. But it was worth trying, and the tubing part was fun. I wouldn't mind doing this again. After I recover from being sore and sunburned. But I had a great time out there with everyone ( Read more... )

Focusing on the positive little things that made this a nice weekend ( Read more... )

It's pretty bad that I'm calculating how well my GPA can withstand a hit of getting a D in a class this semester. I guess the good part is that I've got As for sure in the others. I definitely don't like getting a low grade, especially for the first time, but being a perfectionist, striving and straining for an A in a very difficult class that's ( Read more... )

It can be so difficult to find motivation to actually start working on papers. But I found a little the past few days, and this one's going well. In fact, I'm having one of those wonderful times when one little idea evolves into something big. And even though my writing is slow, I feel like my ideas are brilliant. I'm actually excited about ( Read more... )

Went to a party on Saturday night. Like one of those real parties, not just the few friends getting together to hang out thing. I haven't been to one of those in over a year, I think. It was good, though. Interesting people (some in the good way, some in the very bad way), and fun things happening. So I had a nice time.

And I played Guitar ( Read more... )

So yesterday afternoon my car decided that it just didn't want to start any more, even though it had been running just 15 minutes before. Fortunately it did this while we were parked on campus just behind David's dorm, so it could have been worse. Anyway, we called some people for advice and messed with it, but nothing changed. So I called AAA ( Read more... )

I guess I'm getting something like senioritis, except I've still got a semester left. In any case, I have lost motivation and desire for a lot of my academic work. Like I had a paper due Tuesday and I still haven't finished it. I'm aiming to turn it in next Tuesday instead. It's really the first time I've turned in anything late. And the ( Read more... )

So now I have a pretty nasty case of the flu. I had a lot of plans for yesterday and today, so much that needed to be done, and now I'm pretty much stuck in bed. I've coughed so much I've lost my voice, have a fever, all of that. But on the positive side of things, it hasn't affected my stomach yet. As in I'm not particularly hungry, but I'm ( Read more... )

1) Why does it always come down to money? Why always about not having enough? I need to find another (well-paying!) job soon, because two is not enough, and work hard all summer, so that I can keep supporting myself and also help my family. I don't even care about money, except that it seems inescapable to worry about it, and about getting more ( Read more... )

So spring break was nice. It was worth it to go home with David, even if at times it was uncomfortable and I was so nervous about making good impressions on his parents ( Read more... )
