YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET? VISITING WITH YOUR PROFESSOR AND GETTING HIM TO "GUIDE" YOU THROUGH YOUR PAPER *COUGH BASICALLY DO IT COUGH* CAN BE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL.

"I CAN'T RUN, MY EARRINGS ARE TOO HEAVY!!"

Today went from bad to alright to okay to fine to good to great to good to fine to okay to alright to bad to worse and then to feeling like absolute crap; I feel completely drained.

"It may seem odd to think of having a relationship with ourselves, but we do. Some people can’t get along with themselves. They criticize and belittle themselves all day long until they begin to hate themselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to know yourself better. Walk in nature, watch a sunrise, enjoy God’s creations, ponder the truths of the restored gospel, and find out what they mean for you personally. Learn to see yourself as Heavenly Father sees you—as His precious daughter or son with divine potential... If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most."

I FEEL LIKE I JUST WANT TO BE A SUPER STELLAR, LAID BACK, SUNNY 'SUMMER' TYPE GIRL RIGHT NOW.

MAYBE THE BEST WORDS TO DESCRIBE TODAY ARE: IT WAS QUITE ALRIGHT.

LET'S NOT LIE TO OURSELVES TODAY; I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING HERE.

I CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS FUNK; I DO NOT FEEL GOOD AT ALL.

WELL, TODAY WAS DEFINITELY VERY, VERY TIRING. STAYING UP UNTIL WAAYY LATE LAST NIGHT WITH HOMEWORK, WAKING UP WAAAY EARLY TODAY FOR WORK (AND WORKING ALL DAY) AND THEN HANGING OUT WITH JACKIE... YEAH, I'M EXHAUSTED.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS WERE I DON'T FEEL REALLY BAD OR ANYTHING, BUT JUST REALLY BURNED OUT.

SO, TODAY WAS GREAT-- HONESTLY, I WAS JUST HAPPY ALL DAY LONG.

IF ALMA COULD TAKE A BREAK AFTER ALL HIS WORK AND GO HOME TO RELAX, THAN I CAN TOO. <--- SHOOT. HOW'S *THAT* FOR BOOK OF MORMON KNOWLEDGE? BOO-YA!

WOW. 68% ON MY BOOK OF MORMON TEST; I'M GETTING THERE! HA HA...haaa.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROLINE, I HOPE IT WAS A GOOD ONE.

YOU WOULD THINK THAT BECAUSE I HAD SUCH A BUSY AND TIRING DAY, VERY LITTLE SLEEP LAST NIGHT, AND BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I NEED TO WAKE UP EARLY TOMORROW (NOT TO MENTION THAT IT'S DAYLIGHT SAVINGS SO I NEED TO WAKE UP EVEN EARLIER), THAT I WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GO TO SLEEP, NOW WOULDN'T YOU? ALTHOUGH, HERE I AM, TIRED BUT RESTLESS.

IT'S INCREDIBLY ANNOYING THAT THIS SEMESTER HAS ACTUALLY MANAGED TO MAKE ME *NOT* ENJOY SCHOOL.

ALRIGHT, YEAH, THIS WHOLE 'LOVING MYSELF' THING IS surprisingly REALLY HARD TO DO...

FIRST YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN LOVE ANY ONE ELSE... I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF SELF-LOATHING LATELY, AND I'M GOING TO CHANGE.

IT SEEMS LIKE I'M GETTING IN OVER MY HEAD HERE WITH SCHOOL, WORK, FAMILY AND FRIENDS.... I'VE GOTTA GET A HOLD OF ALL THIS AND STOP TELLING MYSELF, "DON'T WORRY, IT WILL ALL BE FINE WHEN SUMMER COMES AROUND..." BECAUSE SUMMER IS TOO FAR AWAY.

YOU KNOW THAT MAN YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH? YEAH, WELL HE'S MINE.

NO MATTER WHAT, EVER SINGLE WOUND HEALS; YOU CAN QUICKEN THE PROCESS WITH THE APPROPRIATE REMEDIES, CARING AND PATIENCE.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE THE ABSOLUTE SCUM OF THE EARTH? WELL, THANK YOU, BRYCE, FOR MAKING ME FEEL THAT WAY TONIGHT.

MY ABSOLUTE WORST ENEMY IN THE WORLD: SLEEP. IF ONLY MY BODY WOULD AGREE WITH ME THAT SLEEP IS A POINTLESS WASTE OF TIME... GR!
