"You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day." - Marian Wright Edelman

Okay, let me go through good things first...

SO, remember how I said Seth couldn't come up to SRU? Well, he surprised me and came up!!
:-) I received a knock at my door during a nap on Saturday afternoon, and I got up and opened the door to find nobody... but a teddy bear. So I picked it up (extremely confused) and it had a shirt on it that read: "Somebody who loves me very much went to Las Vegas and brought me this teddy bear." So of course I'm sort of perplexed and I looked down the hall to find nobody there. I looked down once more... and there was Seth!!! It made me so happy and I was really excited. We had a great time, but I didn't get any work done, unfortunately.

It's okay though, 'cause yesterday I worked for about 12-13 hours straight getting all of my work completed. I hope it paid off!! I had my test and presentation this morning, and I turned in my huge paper. So I feel a lot less stressed now.

Happy birthday to my daddy!!! I won't post his age here ;-), but I can't wait to celebrate with him!!

Aaand that pretty much completes the good stuff.

I need to vent again. I don't know what it is, but it seems as though in every single part of my life right now, there's something going wrong! Let me just say this: I HATE when people don't give me the same respect that I give them. I have problems with hypocrites and people who are just too insecure to stand up for themselves. I don't really know how long I can take all of this... I just feel that I'm getting challenged (in a bad way) by people who have no clue what it's like to be on my side of things. I hate when people aren't honest with me, and I seriously am getting sick of all of it. I just don't know what's worth all of my stressing out, especially at this time of year. People just need to get a grip and worry about their own lives. OR, just come talk to me about something in a MATURE manner. Don't give me the silent treatment or cop an attitude with me. I treat people with a ton of respect for a reason: it's who I am and it's the way I want to be treated, too!!! So dammit, just grow up already. I don't need any stupid, petty drama in my life.

"What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core." - Hannah Arendt
