The Final Analysis

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destory overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, the may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
--Mother Teresa of Calcutta

silly buttons

I wish this week were over already. I have the rough draft of my essay due tomorrow, the actual essay due Friday, and a Calculus test Thursday. And I don't know how to do calculus. It's evil. Sooooo yeah. My David is coming to see me this weekend! That makes me super happy. Next Monday is Valentines Day! I want chocolate!!! Yeah I'm being really spastic and avoiding writing my essay. But I really do want chocolate. Hehe. Last weekend was the WCF women's retreat. That was fun. It was near Gatlinberg, Tennessee, and it was supposed to take us only 4 hours to get there. Well, it took us 6. We kinda got lost when we were almost there. We missed the last turn (only because the directions didn't tell us to turn there) and ended up going up this long, curvy, dark, and scary mountain road for about 30 minutes. Then we got to the end. Yes. The end of the road. The cement stopped and the dirt began. There were some grave stones scattered about up there too. So we turned around. Really fast. And when we finally got good enough reception to call someone we found out where we went wrong. But it was fun. Kinda. Lol. And we made sock puppets! Mine is really cute. I forgot what I named her. But I guess I never really decided on a definite one. So if anyone wants to name my sock puppet feel free to. It's a girl, she has a red heart nose, wiggly eyes, a red bow, blue and purple hair, and christmas light earings (and some of the lights are hanging in her hair too). So there you go. The weather is has been really pretty since this weekend. It should be this way all the time! Well I guess I've spent enough time procrastinating. Ok lady I love you buh bye!

zippity doo da...

Today has been a really awesome day. I figured out how I can graduate in 4 years, which totally rocks. I actually understood stuff in calc recitation today. I had a really good lunch (and I know that sounds funny, but wait til you go to the dining hall one day and think, all this food looks like crap, but then find something and it turns out to be the best lunch ever). Then tonight I got to go "office space" (even though I haven't seen that movie yet, that how everyone who helped put it, but I do plan on seeing the movie) on an old copy machine. I took a bat to it and beat some of the guts out of it. It was lots of fun. And now I get to watch Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill (only semi-guilty pleasures). Yay for good days! I hope everyone else had one. If not I'll pass some of my happiness on to you. ;-)
