May 10, 2011
I guess I have just been super busy and a little lazy.
I'm waiting to go to mi clase de espanol which I hope goes by fast so that I can go home. I love Wensdays because I only have one class and pretty much the rest of the day is chilled. It's such a nice morning out, the sun is out, it's really warm and I'm wearing shorts to school, so I think i'm going to go for a really long run today. :)
I'm excited for the weekend. I came home from school yesterday and mom told me that the Argonne Library is having a booksale on Saturday. I love booksales. I'm a little worried though because I have to Coach the U-10's games on Saturday and they don't get over until 11 and the book sale starts at 10am so I hope not all the good boooks are gone. I will have to drive there fast after the games. Haha ok not to fast that I get a ticket though.
Also I saw some flyers at school, that there is a Native American Powwow this weekend that I think I might check out. It looks like fun. Sunday I'm carpooling to church with Senaida and then we are going to run from church to her house which is about 10 miles, but downhill do will see if I survive.
Speaking of running, I'm putting together a "Let's Climb a Mt Race" team this summer and I'm really excited for that. I haven't raced in it since Sophmore year of high school. It's 32 miles from the clock tower down town to the top of Mt. Spokane. Oh don't worry! Nobody run's the whole 32 miles...ok, well maybe some crazy, loco people do, but the race is split up into six different legs, each team member running a different amount of distance. You get really cool t-shirts too. So I've got to get the paper work done and get it sent in.
Well, I've got to head to class........

Killing time before Chinese club and then I can go home.
I made it through this week without anything drastic happening and i was able to keep busy that this weeek has actually gone by fast.
what's been going on this week?
Well, I got the wierdest hair cut this week, something I normally don't do. I got bangs and to be really honest, I liked them for a day and now I want my hair back!
yeah, I even googled how long it takes for hair to grow and it say's by next year my bangs will have grown only six inches. =( still not long enough sadly.
I had a test in Spanish today and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Spanish is pretty easy, but now i've got to switch gears and work on chemistry all weekend. Blah!
I'm craving M&M's right now and I really just want to get out of here but were making food in chinese club and I kind of want to stick around for that.
Ok I'm tired of this,
lol

Change

Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul.” | |
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.”"To keep the body in good health is a duty . . . otherwise we shall not be able to keep our minds strong and clear." Buddha no matter who we are, where we're going, or where we've been, we all struggle. everyone has battles. everyone, at one time or another, faces the every moment, to day, to year, trials of existence. such is life.sometimes simple. sometimes complicated. when we wake up with challenges, we wake up with choices. to either overcome all that holds us down by going against what opposes us - or to continue sitting quietly in the foul stench of our own shit, while at the same time surendering ourselves to dear and failure. life shifts, spins, and relocates. as we do. we all have the ability to switch our fear of failure into an energy to overcome any trial. just a sure as we all have a spine. |
A New Ending:
No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
There isn't promise of days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain,
but can promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!
When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight, and be happy.
There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, and the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
Never abandon an old friend.
You will never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.

Montgomery Gentry - Something To Be Proud Of
Monday mornings are usually the worst day of the week..
I wanted to kind of recap on what happened yesterday. I was pretty down on myself yesterday and my self esteem hit an all time low. I've had those days before and yesterday I wanted to kind of get it off my chest and write it all down. I've been thinking alot about yesterday and have realized that I don't every want to do that again. I don't like feeling this way.
For awhile now, i've been feeling...I guess you could say empty. Ok, again I don't want to come off as some wierd chick who's just looking for attention, being dramatic, whatever you want to think of it because that's just not it. For the most part, I am a content individual who has great freinds, great family, what more could I ever ask for.
But I feel like there is something missing.??
I always think about when i'm out running is what my purpose in this life is? I mean I feel like I wake up everymorning going through the motions. My life had become a routine that starts from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed and then it starts all over again. I feel like I am searching for something. Something life changing maybe? that will get me out of this rutt i'm in. I feel like I need some change in my life, some excitement, I don't exactly know what. But I don't know how to make that change.
I feel Like I should be doing more with my life. I go to school, workout, do my homework and occasionally if I have time read a book because any more that's the only thing I enjoy doing. I'm not like most kids who hang out with their friends on the weekends, go to parties, the movies of whatever it is they do. When I do something I always do it alone.
Geezzz... Honestly I'm rambling now writing whatever it is that comes to my mind so I don't even know if any of this makes sense and I really don't have the time or the energy to go back through it and edit it so this is what you get. Raw! lol
My point is, I'm tired beating myself down all the time and feeling like crap. I need to make some changes and I need to start doing more things i enjoy. I need to focus on myself and making me happy. Which is why I wanted to tell whoever is reading this that I'm going continue with writing my book. After watching my mom for six months write every night, creating something I hope some day millions of people will enjoy, I want to do the same. I already had a couple of long chapters typed out already and pulled those out last night and started to rewrite Chapter one.
I think it's pretty good and I hope I can stick with it. Along with keeping up with my school work lol
Anyways, this morning I'm doing better, not great, but better and i'm going to fight harder to get out of this funk that i've been stuck in for way too long.
No worries
=)
