“You can’t be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on...”
– Paul Newman
Well, the GRAMMY's were today.
And I loved them a lot. Especially when Elton took the stage with Gaga. I have to admit, I love Elton WAY more than the Lady, but I’m glad she appreciated him. Ha.
And of course. The MJ Tribute was a tear-jerker. I was choking up the whole time, Earth Song has always been one of my favorites. And his children looked lovely.
I’ll be honest and say I was hoping Gaga or Beyoncé would...

Today was amazing,
I went to St. Mary’s Catholic Church today to scope out the soup kitchen and talk to one of the supervisors about volunteering there because it is something I have wanted to do for a really long time and it was wonderful. All of the homeless people smiled at me and were so sweet and considerate. They inspired me so much. I have these days where I come home from school in a crappy mood,...
J.D. Salinger passed away today...
Which, to be completely honest, isn’t incredibly sad for me, but it makes me want to re-read ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ for the 3rd time. I love that book. It is one of my all time favorites, and Holden Caulfield has to be one of the best people ever culled from a persons imagination. He is like my best friend and as creepy and maybe psychotic as that sounds, it really isn’t....

How depressing can one get?!
I don’t understand the things I say sometimes, I really don’t. It’s like I am a whole other person. I was in one of those “moods”, I suppose. It is true, I am lonely, but I am young still.
“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips...”
– Judy Garland
I'm so tired...
Of finals, I can’t wait to just relax over the long weekend, spend time with my friends and start over new in this next semester. I’ve been keeping a journal and writing down all of these things I just get so overwhelmed by, but I find myself not even wanting to do that because it takes up too much energy. I just read and read and read and absorb my self in these people’s...

Success and hope,
Are very wonderful feelings. I feel like I have an okay chance of passing all of my classes this semester, and for some people that is something that they have never had to worry about, but for me it is a big deal. For whatever reason I have always struggled in school, and it is not due to illiteracy or lack of intelligence, I have just never truly cared enough to put even 50% of myself into my...

School, shmule...
School is so old, it’s really getting on my nerves. I’ve felt like a huge sack of crap all day and the last thing I want to do is homework, but what is the first thing I see when I go to lie down in bed? French homework, and my study sheet for the OPT that I am in no way ready for. And that OPT happens to be tomorrow. Wow, this is horrible. If I fail my OPT I get one less credit and I...
Oh man,
Life is really strange right now, school seems almost bearable and I am pretty happy right now. Been talking to my cousin and it’s really good for me. I am getting my room cleaned, sort of, it is such a pig stye from Christmas. It feels good to get all of my books and record albums organized. Polishing my desk, finding places for my Christmas presents. A bit of a boring time right now, ha.

Last day of the winter holidays...
School is, of course, imminent and I am less than thrilled to say the least. I’ve detested school since about 4th grade, I’m not sure why. Also I am just sad in general that Christmas is over and 2010 has come. It all happened so fast it feels like I didn’t get to savor it the way I used to when I was younger. Getting older is one of the most horrible experiences of my life....
