"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."

Library

~Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow.
~Douglas Pagels

So, it did snow-sad day :/ No, it's fine, and it melted! So, I am officially done with classes! Haha, the next time I will go to class will be in mid-September in Paris!

As I am having a hard time focusing on studying, I decided to go to the library today. I usually get a lot done there but lately I've had a hard time. I haven't ever wandered the library looking for the best place to study but generally the first floor is pretty quiet. I would guess that's why I fell asleep after only forty-five minutes of studying.

Now, I thought I was safe. I have fallen asleep in class once in my entire life. And I've always thought it was a little weird that people fall asleep in class-and all over campus. I just wouldn't be comfortable. And the class always gets a laugh out of a snoring classmate. I only slept for about ten minutes but then I couldn't focus and all I could think about was taking a nap.

It didn't help that there was a couple at the next table whispering and sitting all close and being annoying. Call me bitter if you want but I think it's really irritating when couples come to a silent section of the library and don't shut up. Back scratching also drives me insane-in church, in class, in the library, and even at volleyball games. Ya know, I should probably just stop there.
