Its Been Alright...

Maybe its because today was the "first day" of Spring...or maybe its because I got 8 full hours of sleep last night....

Maybe its because school is almost over...and I feel really in control and on top of my workload. Maybe this is why I'm actually looking forward to handing in my final assignments...and writing those final exams. I'm looking FORWARD to it...hmmm...(yeah, weird I know).

Something has come into my life and I don't know what it is yet. Something has also left my life...and for once...I'm "breathing."

I've been hearing back from some of the potential professors I may be working with on my Masters...and they sound so passionate about their research. Furthermore, all of them have been so incredibly nice and their kindness has really given me so much encouragement and hope.

Even though I got into a bitch fight with that stupid, smelly whore at Jacks the other night (cause she nearly killed my roommate)...I still have hope in humanity (yes, even in those gross, white-trashy girls with white blonde hair). Even though I stepped into this huge puddle this afternoon, I was thinking (while my shoe filled with ice cold water) how nice it actually felt, rather than slipping on ice like I usually do...and I was reminded of the sun today.

I opened up a fortune cookie tonight and it said: "You find beauty in ordinary things. Do not lose this ability." And its true. Just take a moment to actually think about something thats so beautiful to you, even though its so simple. For example, as I was walking home from class this afternoon....I saw my philosopher professor waving at me from across the street and I was so happy that he actually acknowledged me, because to be honest..I didn't even think he knew I existed. His smile and wave was such a kind gesture..that it made me smile the entire walk home. I thought: "wow, what a nice, sweet old man. the entire time i thought he was an arrogant prick...but he likes me!!! he REALLY likes me!" It was the smallest thing..but at the same time it was something so huge to me!!!

Cheers,
Annie!
