please accept incredibly sincere apologies for not updating for about a year. This semester officially killed me. I feel so incredibly drained physically and emotionally, just everything feels gone. I'm happy to say it's pretty much over. I only have 2 finals, and all of my major projects are done, so now I just need to study for said finals and

I AM GLAD

even though you're stressing, and not feeling like yourself, and it's awful . . . i'm glad you wrote about it to get it out of your head and into writing. for a while i was feeling extremely similar. i still feel like there's a lot of people who think they know what i'm about, but will sadly never understand. i think what made my situation better is that i started doing my own thing and being me no matter what else was gong on. i looked at the people i actually cared about, who appreciated me, and then cut as many unimportant people out of my life as possible. then i ended up making some new friends who i wish i would have given more time earlier, because now they're some of my best friends here. it's important to find people who appreciate you as you are, as much as you appreciate them. you should never feel like you can't be you. especially if you're as cool as shannon. and i'm pretty sure you are. THE GOOD NEWS is: this damn semester is over and now you get to come home where everybody appreciates you for being your

I only hang out with cool people who aren't afraid to be themselves....why, you ask? Because, clearly, I am 'Cathy the cool person'. That being said, when are we hanging out? Iced tea anyone?

alright first off i love the fact that the last sentence of this post is, "Here is a picture of a dinosaur." i don't know why but i laughed for at least 15 seconds... i can not wait for us to get home, i really hope that we get out and do some outrageous things this summer, i think we need to venture farther away from where we usually hang out, i don't know where yet, but we need to do AMAZING things this summer, and meet new people!

P.S. i think your dinosaur is cute ;)

First off, sorry you're feeling down. Second, I will say that I had been going through a similar deal about a month or so ago (see my journal for details), and I was struggling to figure out what was wrong. Eventually, I eliminated the people/things that were stressing me out, and then suddenly, I became myself. I met new people, experienced what I should have been experiencing all semester, and made connections with people which will last into the future. Honestly, it's a great experience, and surprisingly, it's one of those moments when you can actually sense when it happens, so maybe give it a try, see what happens.

Besides that, hope your semester turned out well grades-wise, and great dinosaur pic.
