I have passed my senior comprehensive exams, with honors (an extra bonus I just didn't expect, nor was I aiming for).  I was one of two people to receive an honors mark on my exam ( Read more... )

I am still so incredibly angry at her.  With her.  Which one makes the most sense to convey the underlying emotion I feel everyday?  Probably both.

I am so angry that I have become rather apathetic, as contradictory that sounds.  I think it might be my body's way of coping.

I have two exams tomorrow.  I haven't really begun studying.  It's two-in-the ( Read more... )

So, a definite change from the last. Birthdays will do that from time to time ( Read more... )
