last night was a good night for many reasons. I'm glad, because it really does seem like a solid reason to believe we'll turn things around this time.
a few nights ago a friend reminded me of something I'd said not long before: "try to have hope, mate. if you let go of that, it's over." and all the while I said that to him, I was pitying myself because I thought something was lost. just having it repeated back, though, it clicks. well, of course it's gone forever if I decide I don't believe it will come back. hope and belief are strengths I very often fall short of. but things are going to be alright; that's equal parts hard work and believing.
today is for not getting enough sleep and being too busy >_< I'm completely failing at getting homework done, and daylight savings makes me sad, especially since it's been shortened, but my computer is still set to change on the first sunday in april, meaning it's going to confuse me twice a year from now on. I'm not sure I understand the point of a bill to change daylight savings time. nor do I understand why we can push those worthless pages through, but we can't decide to change something that's actually an issue, like, say,
hr857, the horse slaughter prevention act, which really ought to be a hands-down issue on the grounds of ending cruelty. such is the way of things.
