381- "Happiness is a choice."
It's been almost two months since my last post! How time flies...
Nothing much has been going on. Work and school have taken over my life, which is fine. I like being busy, and I'm doing really well at CSU so far. I have A's in all of my classes so far, so hopefully that continues!
I'm feeling a lot better, now that I've had my freak out. Wednesday night I treated myself to a movie, but then broke down when I got home and cried out some of the frustration and sadness I've been feeling over the past year. I feel more like myself now, and I've decided that I'm not going to use what has happened to me regarding my parents as a crutch anymore.
I think I'm going to try and take up a few more hobbies, if I have time. I told Michi that I want to start taking singing lessons again, which is true. I also want to look into doing some horseback riding again, or maybe I'll find something completely new! I want to start yoga and meditation again, as well. I don't know where I'm going to find the time to do this, but I will find a way! Maybe I will be able to make some new friends along the way.
I think I'm going to take up my entry title as one of my two personal mantras. I'm tired of being unhappy with myself, and I will start to remember that I can choose how I feel each day.
Anyway, Shannon found this 30 day meme relating to Resident Evil that she wants me to post. Hopefully it will encourage me to post more often, since I have been really bad about that during the past few years.
Day 1: Favorite RE game
I was talking to Shannon about this earlier, and I told her that I was having such a hard time choosing! Really, my favorite game is one that has Chris and/or Jill in it. 1, 3, and 5 are the ones that involve them the most, along with Umbrella Chronicles (a rehash of 0, 1, 3 and a new scenario) and Revelations (which I haven't played yet). Out of the ones I have played, I will have to say 3 is my favorite. I love that you can see what the T-virus can do to the population of a town, resulting in utter chaos. Jill is an awesome heroine and a total inspiration, Carlos is hilarious (to me) and sweet, and Nemesis is utterly terrifying. What's better than trying to escape a town full of zombies? Trying to escape a town full of zombies with a Tyrant hunting you down at every turn! It also has the old school camera angles, and was the first game in the series to have the "quick turn" feature that allowed the playable character to do a 180 turn. Plus, this game is the one that I've probably replayed the most, due to its awesomeness.
