So the test is done. Whew. They're definitely not ones that I'll be framing or putting on the fridge, but I made it through. And given the way I handled getting started, I can't stand here and complain a bit.
I spent the whole afternoon today redoing my bedroom. Time for a full fresh start. Everything's in a different place, old certificates are taken off the wall, new paint (well, for touch-ups) is in place. I'm pretty excited. Tomorrow I'm going to head to the thrift store to see if they've got any nice couches there. I had the perfect one - Grandpapa's - but I just couldn't squeeze it through the door. Believe you me, I tried! We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Whoa!!!
OK, so here we are on October 3, and I haven't updated since July 23? What's that about? Ha!
So yeah, apologies are in order. I've been neglecting my "reflection time." See, as much fun as it was for you guys to read this, it was even better for me, on a therapeutic level. I miss that. And I'm ready to have it back. The past few weeks have been rough. I guess it's that I haven't adjusted to being back in school all that well, but I'm starting to hit the upswing.
One thing that I need to work on fixing is my people skills. For some reason I've sort of lost my ability to deal with other people. How sad is that? I'm finding myself getting frustrated way too easily and it's starting to really take away from my happy demeanor. It's time for that to stop, though. I need to get my smile back. Any thoughts?
I've never found myself at a point where I just wanted to break down when around my friends, but that happened to me the other night. And I have to say that I didn't like it. Not one bit. Literally, I didn't say a single word because I knew if I even thought of talking that I'd break down. And honestly I had no real reason to. But, I do owe it to my friends for following up with me to make sure that I was in an alright place. I guess that's why I've got them in my life. And thank God for that!
Then again, there's a whole lot to thank Him for. During this whole phase, it's not that I ever doubted He was with me, but I was having the hardest time finding Him. Then, my bro kindly reminded me that God does that for a reason - He never leaves, but He does take a step back to see just how you'll respond. And that's the key - to respond by pursuing Him more. So that's what I've set my heart toward, which is technically where it should have been all along, but to actively chasing after Him. He can run, but He sure can't hide. :)
Alright, time for me to make my way towards bed. I've got a LONG study day ahead tomorrow, so pray that this stuff actually sinks in my head.
Until next time...
