I am very much dreading this next week. I'll be stressed to the core. Having a major test really sucks. It's kind of going to define my work ethic and my stance in this class and that just really sucks. Needless to say, I'll be pretty absent this week.
Spring Break is approaching. It's weird to think that it's almost over. It's just really bizarre. It's even more weird that this is my home now and I'll retreat to my "hometown" only to feel like a stranger in a once familiar place. VERY ODD. I am wondering how my Summer will be in that strange place. I wish it wasn't strange, but it has become sterile and guest-like.
SUMMER, should be fantastic. I'll be taking quite a bit of summer school and have hopes of working with my brother making some more money that I would be working at Glendale.
The weather here is crazy. It just comes out of nowheres. When it rains, it pours... Couldn't be farther from the truth. BIZARRE. The weather here is just so strange, but then again, so is this town. The people here are just so different and different in a good way. But then again, being on campus you realize that everyone in a sense is all the same.
I'm excited that Kelly Clarkson is coming to concert. SHUT UP, I love her. :)
I could never imagine being solely on my own. Talking with a friend last night, I see the struggle, but also the reward of being sufficient on your own. It's quite an accomplishment. It's evident that the steps I am taking in my life is to get there too. But I am 19 and I feel like my life is coming down on me. I feel as though I need to start making decisions now regarding my life. My brother was married at 23. He's now 30 and has himself set in a career and his wife and him are the happiest they have ever been. 30 years old. It usually takes people 25 years to get there. But people are doing it faster and faster. I feel the pressure to do the same. While I have no doubts in my abilities to be successful, it's a question of what I am going to be successful in. What will be my niche and where will I land on my own two feet. Will I be landing alone? Will I be landing side by side with someone who's going through the same journey? Time goes by so fast. DON'T GROW UP TOO FAST. Why must it be like this. I am through a fifth of a century and I'm starting to feel old, when I really shouldn't... I have nothing to feel old about. It's just an interesting dilemma.
COME WITH YOUR ARMS RAISED HIGH!!!
