Things are definitely better today. Life is pretty much back to normal. I've started to remember some of the cliches that I hate so much but are actually applicable to life. For example: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Very true. Although I'm sad that it's over, I definitely learned a lot about myself and what I am ( Read more... )

There are times in everyone's life when they question their existence. This is one of those times. I have had this conversation with my mom before, and now I'm having the battle with myself. People tell me that I'm only 18 and that I've accomplished so much by being valedictorian, president of every club, and #1 at every activity imaginable. ( Read more... )

I have come to the bitter yet inspiring revelation that this town is under me. As conceited or cocky as it may sound, I am way too good for this little community.

Even if it's just something really small that makes one of ( Read more... )

Well this was quite a day. I had initially intended to wake up at 10:30 and go to the band hall to get my final music before camp starts, but I didn't get out of bed until 12. That damn snooze button is way too big. But anyway, I finally dragged my lazy ass from under the covers and showered, finally going to the post office and band hall. I ( Read more... )

So this is my very first entry. I saw several of my friends with these LiveJournal things and figured I'd give it a shot. What the hell, right? Well I had the day off today and slept pretty late. I always feel guilty when I sleep late, but staying up so late last night was definitely worth it. I've been having a blast since Saturday with a ( Read more... )
