Yeah, today definitely didn't live up to yesterday. But...I guess that's to be expected.
I've been takin' care of my mom today...it's so sad. There's so many hurt people by this whole thing. That woman committed suicide, and that is such a sensitive subject. Man. Rough.
But tonight in class Deryk talked to us about suicide for a while...I hate that subject so much. And then we did this class about stress, and it actually made me feel a lot better about some things that have been on my mind. I didn't sign up to be an SHS officer or an NHS officer, and I had been feeling regretful about those decisions, but I made them because I don't wanna be overloaded next year. My senior year is gonna be such an important time for me emotionally and spiritually and I'm gonna be dealing with a lot of tough decisions about college and stuff, and even though those offices would look good on my resume, I can't see myself being able to throw myself 100% into them. The lesson talked about not putting ourselves into "stress environments" in our lives so that we don't freak out when things get busy. It also mentioned Matthew 16:26, which struck me more than usual tonight. I've read it so many times, but it seemed so applicable with this subject. Here it is: "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" Man. You go, Jesus. The lesson really helped me put things into perspective.
Michael called me today. Weird to talk on the phone with him again. Glad it's under better circumstances with no feelings for each other whatsoever. Glad that's alllll over.
I heard that Mr. Dyer made a joke in Chorale about me and Andrew. Anyone care to share? Not funny. Ok, it is. Liiiiiiiiiisaaaaaaaaaaa.....
I'm off for some much-needed quality time with my piano.
