Thank goodness that Fall Break began Wednesday at 2:30. I may not have made it much longer! I know, I know - it is a bit dramatic - but Wednesday was darn rough. This weekend is going to be great! I spent today with my mom, shopping for Andrew's birthday. Tomorrow, I cannot wait to drive to see Andrew and help him celebrate his 20th. He came to Alma to see me last weekend and I am so happy that I can see him for a second weekend in a row. Furthermore, I need good quiet time. Being in Greenville is nice, but when I am with Andrew I am a lot more calm. On Saturday I am coming home, but I will get to visit with Gramps. I haven't had a chance to talk with him recently, and I am anxious to get his perspective on what is going on. His opinion means more to me than anyone else in my life. I'm grateful to have someone like him around. I'll be back in Alma Sunday, and I'll be catching up with Brett.
I hope everyone is enjoying their break! I'll see you all back at school!

Life
“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure” - Peter Marshall
I am tired. I feel like I have too much to do and much to little time. Today wasn't a bad day - not in the slightest. Compared to the last few weeks, today was amazing. My first oral exam in spanish was simpler than I had thought. I feel that I did well on my Econ exam. I am still on cloud nine from the flattery of KI's open bid. Nevertheless, I am tired. I am worn down by what I have done, but more daunting is what I have yet to do. Sometimes, I think I am part of a machine. I am a gear: molded just so, fitting with others just so, turning and turning - just so. Today, albeit a great day, was a haze. I simply march from one place to another, not thinking. I hate feeling like a drone.
I need something inspirational. I hoped Bob Dole or George McGovern might get me going, but no such luck. Maybe with time? Until then, I will keep working for what I think I want to do with my life.
