"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I'm just not creative with titles...

~I find I always have to write something on a steamed mirror.
~Elaine Dundy

All right, so I'm not doing very well at writing every day. I dropped everything this weekend-besides watching TV shows-to do a course project for my Modern American Usage class. It was very enlightening reading Deborah Tannen's You Just Don't Understand! but took way too long :)

I am so ready to be done with school. Sadly, I know I will miss it very soon. I am officially done with homework! All I have left are three classes and six finals... which means a lot of studying. And while I can make myself get all of my assignments and essays done, studying is not my strong point. Studying gives me nothing because, honestly, the things I study just don't show up on tests. And somehow I always manage to talk myself out of studying as much as I know I should. Tests are all about guessing what the teacher wants-yes, even essay ones-they look for the four key points they wanted or whatever else.

So, I have started early on my procrastinating! I'm just so proud! ~rolls eyes~ It's kind of ridiculous really. But, as always, I will manage somehow.

I move back home in less than two weeks! Yes, I was excited to move out, but I am excited about family and the clean floors and the clean dishes and the locked doors... and it means school is out for a while :)

Oh, and I started to get excited about wearing shorts-and it rains :) Of course! But I love rain too and right now I would love to go play in it and not care if I get soaked! Sounds like so much fun... and, as long as it doesn't snow, I'll live :)
