"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."

Painful Shoes

~The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them.
~Stephen King

Pretty sure I won't be wearing my flats around campus again anytime soon. My presentation partner decided we needed to dress up. I have one pair of black flats, sandals, and... snow boots. So I went with the flats. I've never worn them for more than church really, and the skin on my heel was cut before I got to my first class. By the time I got to Devotional there was a line of dried blood going into my shoe.

I put medical tape on and walked to English for my presentation. I had to change the tape again cuz it was all bloody. Needless to say, it was a painful walk home :) My heel was covered in blood and I have a nice tender worn spot on the part of my foot where my bunion sticks out sometimes. Haha, I greatly admire girls who can wear heels around campus all day... at the same time I think they are pretty stupid for it.

The presentation went better than I expected, but not as good as it probably could/should have. Oh well. It's over and I'm completely relieved. So, I was almost done with the reading for that class for Thursday-and my teacher switched it with next Thursday's reading... so, I won't have any reading for that class next week and a lot this week :) But it's nice to be ahead.

I've thought of a million things to blog about in the last two days and I can't think of any of them now. I miss blogging more than once a day. I do. Haha, and then I think about you poor readers and I'm sorry you hear all my rants and boring explanations of my days. So feel free to read or not read whatever you want :)
