My Life is in Shambles

1. Douche-bag Professor decides not to go to class, but has a totally different TA (since the class doesn't have one) teach the class.
2. He still makes this large assignment due at midnight that night. Needless to say I didn't do very well on it.
3. This assignment took me the whole day to get as far as I got, and I still wasn't finished.
4. This assignment took all enjoyment out of my Capital Green rehearsal.
5. I woke up with an infection that has caused my right index finger, a very important finger I might add, to swell and hurt a lot.
6. The pharmacist took 4 years to fill my 10.99 proscription.
7. I am not ready for my first Anatomy and Physiology exam on Wednesday.
8. My father is angry at me because I don't know how to handle my credit card.
9. I am still homesick.
10. I miss my mom, dad, brother, and cat.
11. I am starting to think that I am not cut out for college.
12. I have not read anything for my ISS class.
13. I think I have gained even more weight than I thought I possibly could.
14. I miss having my best friend be my best friend.
15. I miss my real best friend.
16. I miss being on top of things.
17. I miss being truly happy.

Looking back...


This is the beginning of a new day.
I have been given this day to use as my will.
I can waste it, or use it for good.
What I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, not loss; good, not evil; success, not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it.
For the future is just a whole string of nows.



I thought this was said by one of (if not the most) influential person in my entire life.

Even though I did not know it very well, this saying was the closest thing I have had to true prayer.

Maybe that's because it's a positive saying that is productive in achieving a good self-image.

Even though she gave me a lot of grief, she gave me much of what is made of my self-image today, and I could never completely thank her for that.

I just think this is one of the best ways to look at life.
