"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."

Furthermore

~I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things.... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself.
~Leo F. Buscaglia

To add to my last post concerning things I've given up on... clean dishes, an empty sink, a kitchen that smells good, a floor I can walk across without getting food stuck to my socks, and a door I can keep locked. Among other things :)

Let's see, it's only been a few hours. I know. I realized all my homework from here on out this week consists of one sixty page play, one regular assignment, three papers, two tests, and memorization. Not things that are easy to get done quickly... or to every really be done with-or done studying for.

*sigh* 24 hours ago I was home... I wish I could go back... no, that's not true. Cuz I was getting ready to leave then. No, I want to skip to Friday! Camping, Conference, family, clean house, sleeping in, a guaranteed parking spot, and, best of all, spending time with my boyfriend. I just have this feeling it's gonna be a long week.

For FHE we watched a really good video about a blue vase. I think that's the title too... it was worth watching. This guy spends hours trying to buy a blue vase because he gave his word. Just watching him I got frustrated with his task. I think I would have given up. Which is sad. But I think it's the truth. Haha, just look at me with my homework right about now. So looking forward to shorter semesters this summer and maybe a three-day weekend or two...

Anywayz, if you haven't seen the Kid History episodes on YouTube you should totally look them up! They're pretty funny. This one is probably the best and number one is pretty good too :)
