autumn

Today was a perfect fall day. I never want this season to end

“Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you.” -Elsie de Wolfe

Such a stressful week...I want to cry. I feel like everything for my future is crashing into this week and I don't know how to handle it. Erghhhh. At least it is starting to become fall and the world looks beautiful. It is the only thing keeping me going. I can't wait for sweater weather. Now back to working on my resume...

One Week!

I can't wait for Modern Family to come back on next week! Funniest show of all time.

Never forget

I cannot believe that 10 years has passed since the terrorist attacks on the twin towers. I remember the day so well--sitting in my 5th grade classroom, not being allowed to go outside for recess, and coming home from school to watch hours of footage on the news of the World Train Center being hit by 2 planes. It was awful. Everyone was in disbelief and I still cannot believe that such evil and violence exists in the world that someone would want to harm so many innocent people. Yet I know tons of people who are cruel to each other every day. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy, and I hope everyone can remember what happened and try to spread more kindness throughout the world to fight these acts of terror. Never forget.

New semester resolutions

I love the start of a new school year. It's more like New Year's for me than January 1st. I always feel like I can change all of my habits and become a great student. I've been doing homework everynight, so, so far, so good! Hopefully I can keep this up the whole semester. It's such a rainy day today, I almost feel like taking a nap, but I'm forcing myself to go to class and be productive. Maybe I can make myself go to the gym tonight, but we'll see. I bought a Jillian Michaels workout video the other day, so maybe I can just do that instead!

back to escuela

Well, it is Wednesday and classes started Monday. I've had almost no time to write! I love going back to school. Writing in my organizer, getting new notebooks and folders. I have so much hope in the beginning of the semester that I can get good grades and be a whole new person. Hopefully it can actually happen this time. There is just so much to do already and things are crazy, this year feels SO different from last year. But hopefully I can just stay grounded and focus on what's important.
