"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."

So, I haven't slept very much lately. Oh, probably 3 1/2 or 4 hours a night... haha, but I don't mind. I accidentally take 3 hour naps several days a week, so I thought I was okay. Last night I fell asleep at 10:30, woke up and took out my contacts at 3:30, and didn't wake up until 12:30. I got 14 hours of sleep!

I'm at about 90% efficiency at work! But, that is when I'm trying my absolute hardest and pushing all day to keep up with my expectations-15 bundles by breakfast, 29 by lunch... etc. I don't know how I'm going to get to 100%. I wasn't too worried, since I was supposed to put in my two weeks notice yesterday, but now that I'm staying, I have to worry about such things.

Which leads to my next thing: I have decided not to go on the study abroad to France this fall. There are a lot of reasons but I feel a lot better about everything now. I wasn't ready, wasn't excited. I'll be staying home and working this semester-and I'm kind of excited about having money :)

Oh, and I'm nineteen now! I'm excited, just because whenever I told people how old I was this last year, they assumed I was a senior in high school... Dang summer birthdays :) Haha, I don't mind, really, just that I feel younger than everyone "my age." If that makes any sense. Everyone I graduated with will start turning twenty in a few weeks-holy cow! That's crazy! I know, twenty isn't that old. It just seems weird :)
