This Crazy Thing We Call Life!

Once upon a time I had like 150ish homework problems due in my math class. So I went to the library and worked on it and then I had to go to work. After work I started doing homework back at my house about 11:00pm...and worked all through the night...I didn't go to sleep at all, just went to class this morning and then somehow made it through the day until I had my math test this afternoon! I haven't seen my bed since I woke up yesterday and let me just say, I am exhausted. This was definitely not one of my better ideas. I didn't even get all of my homework done before it was due today, and I have been struggling all day long. I bought some "no sleep" pills from the Quickstop on campus (basically a caffeine pill and while I would not usually just go straight to that, I had no other choice today.) I took one about 45 min before my test and I am so grateful because I was awake and alert and there is no way I could have been without it. But I have yet to sleep beca

A hopeless romantic. Yep. That is me, right down to my core. I love love. I love the idea of caring so much for someone that you would quite literally do anything in the world just to make them happy. Consequently I am going to take a moment to talk about that cute little four letter word, since after all it is that time of year when love is in the air!;) And because it is that one certain time of year, I have been thinking a lot about what exactly is love. My sweet roommate who also is a blogger was asked to participate in another bloggers "14 Days of Love" which has had me reading and crying and pondering for the past hour and a half or so. All of the thoughts and feelings shared by those invited to write on this lovely blog have been running through my head and causing so many emotions to run through me. "What would I write if I were asked to participate in this blogger's series about love?" was the question that ran through my mind the entire time. And actu

Sometimes I just feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life, who love and support me in all that I do. Aside from my family, I have truly been blessed with a handful of tremendous people to help me down this sort of scary path called life. I often find myself wondering what I did to deserve such wonderful friends, and although we tease each other like there is no tomorrow, I know without a shadow of a doubt that there wont be a single situation where I wont be able to turn to any of them for help. They are all so different but so patient and kind and wonderful. Each one is teaching me something different and blessing my life in a different way and I absolutely love it. Talking with one dear friend tonight I made the comment that we were like one big happy family. I quickly said actually we're like one big dysfunctional family, which may sound like a negative thing but is actually something positive. Perfect is boring. Normal is boring. And we tease and joke because we

Sometimes, my heart misses you. And it aches. For Once Upon A Time, and a little bit of sunshine.
