So, it's only nine days into the semester and I already want it to be over.
I want to take classes that I like with professors that don't intimidate me out of my skin. I want more sleep (right this minute). I want to not be stressed out all the time. I really want to not be such a procrastinator. I want to be a better studier. I want to be articulate in conversations with people I respect but don't know well. I want to really buckle down this weekend and NFTBA. I want to have healthy eating habits. I want to not get sick to my stomach. I want to be better at replying to people's messages in a timely fashion. I want to learn to take experienced people's advice (e.g., implement it, not just say, "What a good idea!" and forget about it). I want French to make as much sense when I'm doing the homework as it did in class. I want to know how to use a graphing calculator. I want my woefully limited time to not be running away from me faster than I can figure out how to keep up. I want to not feel guilty for opting not to murder myself with a ridiculously packed workload like some other honors students I know. I want to not have to rely on the Internet for a third of my GPA. I want to sit down somewhere and have a good cry and a cup of tea and then go accomplish Things. I want my friends all to live nearby and be tangibly huggable. I want to not have overdue library books that I didn't even get to finish. I want to be motivated to seek God, every day, above all else. I want to be consistent about praying for the people I promised to.
(I want to find better ways to get my point across when I'm depressed than using the semi-dubious syntax of most of the above sentences.)
I want to have ONE GOOD DAY (at minimum.) instead of days that are purely drab, or days that start well and go sour, or days that start sour and take until evening to cheer up, or days that are just awkward as heck. I'm still waiting for one. I haven't had one in some time (meaning, months. I'm pretty sure. I think there's a Switchfoot song about this).
I love you a whole lot, and I'm sorry things are so stressful right now. I'll be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteI think we should go have a good day, Kiersten.
ReplyDeleteAlso, graphing calculators are the shiz. I can show you how to do the basic stuff if you need any help, but I'm not too advanced in it. I am pretty boss at the games on it though.
