For You and Your Denial

It feels like it's been so long since I posted anything of any importance on this blog! I've been in a very large and murky rut when it comes to writing as of late. I had this one idea for a play, but that didn't go far. I also had a few other story ideas, but I never really sat down and put them into short story form or anything to see if they flow well. I'm not sure what happened, but all the same, I still haven't found an idea I've been able to stick with. Hopefully soon?

Now that I think about it, I will have plenty of time to write this semester of college, seeing as all of my classes have either a 75 minute or 150 minute break in between them. I have a lot of time to do eat lunch, do homework, read a book, conquer the world, etc., and I'm actually starting to worry about how I'm going to spend my time. Maybe I can master the art of napping, and train myself to take power naps in between classes! That would be so cool!

Along with this new semester comes a new alarm clock. I now have to get up at 7 in the morning every day. Now, that's actually not that big of a difference from last semester, as I usually got up at around 8, but there is one thing that is very important and completely different about these two wake-up times. That is the fact that one requires an alarm clock, while the other allowed me to wake up on my own. For some reason, even if it's at the same time as usual, if I am woken up by an alarm clock it feels like I have had much less sleep than usual. I don't know what it is, but I don't like it at all.

You know, I've also recently started dating one of my best friends, and while I won't go into any sort of detail for you, it's already made this year one to remember :)

Anyway, this post has reminded me of how much I enjoy writing, or typing, my thoughts out, even if others can see them. Maybe I'll try and work up something to post at least 2 or 3 times a week.

By the way, the title of this post is the newest song from the band Yellowcard, who recently have ended their hiatus and have announced a new album and tour for March. I. Am. So. Excited!!!

"Well, back to the old grind."

Yeah, here's another one of those posts where I really have nothing too interesting to say, but I feel like it's been too long since I posted, so here it is.

My second semester of college starts up in a few days, and it'll be back to basically the same schedule as last semester. I really liked my schedule for classes last fall, seeing as it was shorter and all around better than my schedule back in high school, so I'm looking forward to this semester as well! Plus, I'll be able to listen to my iPod on the way to school seeing as I FINALLY got an iPod connector!

And this makes me happy.

Other than that, things have been going great for me, and I hope this year continues on this lovely path that it has chosen to take!

A sudden clearness; a clarity.

This year has started off a little strange, if you ask me. Nothing like I would have expected. Personally, it's already been a good year. Funny how life's twists and turns sometimes don't throw you as much as you would suspect, and you end up finding out that they are actually enjoyable.

Other times, though, you get thrown so hard by these sudden changes that it seems it will be much too hard to recover. One, if not a few of my friends have already experience something like this in the first week of the year, and as much as you want to console them, you know that unless you've experienced it yourself, you really don't have much to go on.

So I'm just going to pray for those friends and watch what happens. I still stand by what I said that this year is going to be a good one, but having a good year doesn't mean everything going smoothly. That's how you learn.
