So I've been in New Zealand for around two and a half months now, and thus pretty much over the halfway mark of how long I am here. I don't know what about today has made me introspective, but I feel like documenting some of the things I like about New Zealand ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here in my room, just feeling content. Do you ever just feel content? Like everything is right with the world, if only just in this moment? I feel like the last semester has been a long blur, just images and feelings floating by as I tried to ground myself. I used to be such a happy person, all naivete and off in my own world. I ( Read more... )

So recently, I've been pretty angry about pretty much everything. I don't know why, but it has been really unhealthy for me, and I have definitely not been expressing my anger in a positive way. Why have I been getting so so angry, almost angry enough to curse (which is not something I do) about things that are out of my control? I know that ( Read more... )

Today was the national Day of Silence for people with Pro-life beliefs, so my friend Sara and I pledged to be silent all day and to wear red duct tape on our arm that said life, in remembrance of the many babies that are aborted each day. It was only a small demonstration, but I feel like I got some prolife information around a little bit. I'm ( Read more... )

I finished my portfolio on Friday and turned it in! No more working on a part of it every night for the last two months, I almost cried tears of happiness when I handed it off. Now I can get started on the thousand things of homework of have for next week. Yay, me. Anyway, I'm still so happy it's done :D

So here's the situation. Last night, it's midnight, and I decide to go to sleep early for once and work on my porfolio later (the deadline is becoming closer and closer...) so I am slipping into bed when I hear a strange sound. It sounded like something scratching at the ceiling tile right above my bed, trying frantically to get in. Of course, I ( Read more... )

They're making a movie for the series of books, His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman!!!!! I'm so excited, although I'm a little worried that they won't be as wonderful as the books. I actually just reread them for the first time since freshman year of high school, and they were completely delightful! I adore these books.
