I had never been so wired before tonight. I started the night sleepy and ready to just fall asleep rather than get anything done (why I'm always tired I don't know).

While on vacation in Peru with lots of great family, I came back resolved to not fuck up again. I would start again, go back to being the old me and raise my GPA. I was going to be proud of myself again ( Read more... )

I think I did pretty good on the History ( Read more... )
