(no subject)
My premed advisor had to head out of town so he can't make our appointment later today. It's a bit inconvenient because now I have to reschedule a couple of my other appointments and I don't get to see the academic advisor for psychology that I wanted to next week.
All is well, though.
It's weird how it's the little things that lift you up and make you smile - someone that you haven't seen in a while saying hello, warm days (though, recently they have been nonexistent), feeling like your going to do well in classes, being acknowledged by a old professor you really respected outside of class, being nice to other people, and being acknowledged (just in general)… realizing that there are some 5th graders out there that have better writing skills than you, but at least you can kick their ass...
Okay, so some of those things weren't so little, haha (if no one got my half assed attempt at a pun (that I only realized after I wrote it and most likely only makes sense in my mind) it's probably for the better).
I’ve had a specific conversation several times with my friend Jeff and I agree with him - people strive to be acknowledged, thought of as important, and respected. It drives a large portion of human nature and explains why a lot of people act the way they do.
In middle and high school I always wished that I had more confidence. I missed out on making a lot of cool friendships because of it - I was just too shy to reach outside of my group. I wanted to be friends but I was too scared of being thought of negatively. Like Graham, Wyatt, and that group. Do you guys know how much fun you looked on the outside? I don't know if I would have even gotten along with you all then, I was a much different person in high school and hindsight is 20/20. Though to say the least, I have a high amount of respect for both your accomplishments and your outlooks on life (well, at least the outlooks you have shared through LJ)
I don't really have a major group anymore, so meeting new people outside of the group no longer renders itself a problem.
Now that I’ve made myself sufficiently creepy. I think I’ll study some more and smile some more, and be content with life as it is.
Becca - you are a stallion (ha, I assume they are both pretty and strong but that could just be my connotations)… you just need to smile and things are will look brighter (not fixed, but brighter). I love you and I’m super bummed out I’m missing you over spring break! What happened to those incredibly tentative and very unlikely skiing plans? :P
