"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 miss taking my laundry home

~Every day is conquerable by its hours, and every hour by its minutes.

I don't really feel like blogging today. No motivation to do homework-well, mostly cuz all I have left this week is a paper to start and three tests to study for. And, despite yesterday's devotional, I do cram before a test. Three midterms tomorrow... why would I study now when I'm just going to forget???

Can I just say how much I love country music?! It's so amazing. I've missed listening to the radio in my car everyday and my MP3 Player for eight hours a day... alright, I just miss a half hour or so of that :) But I listen to music on YouTube now... which means I have to remember songs, think of ones I might want to listen to.

Haha, the other day I ended up listening to Disney music. I realized I missed a lot of Disney-or I just really forgot a lot of it. I remember girls camps and Oakcrests when we sang the songs or that's all we could listen to so we had dance parties to it in our cabins late at night. And half the time I didn't know the words. Really, sometimes I didn't even remember hearing those songs before in my life. So that was pretty fun, to listen to some...

Gah! I'm sitting here trying to write and as I'm typing sentences I am parsing them out in my head to see if there are any major errors. I guess that could be good-practice for tomorrow's test. But then, since I really don't think I know what I'm doing, I don't know how helpful it really is :)

Oh, so, yesterday I finished two loads of laundry. So dang frustrating. I actually found two machines that worked on my first trip to the laundry room. And I even had $1 bills to get quarters. Just enough really-after how many times I had to run the dryers. I put the loads in the washers without a problem. I came back a half hour later and the one was done-so I put it in a dryer and started that. I avoided the one that didn't work last Friday...

The other machine was different so I had to go back twenty minutes later. And... every dryer that was done was full of dry clothes-all, like, four of them. I hadn't taken my basket-so I carried a pile of wet clothes back to my apartment. I went back to put them in the machine after I took out my other load and everything here gets fuzzy...

One time I went back and my wet clothes from the dryer were on the dirty table-someone had taken over my machine-haha, that apparently hadn't even worked! I managed to get both loads in different machines at the same time-pretty sure I dried each one at least twice. I'm going to make a chart for myself and keep track of which dryers don't work so well. One time I went back there was a girl in there I talked to-she said she felt like it was a puzzle she had to figure out each time-which ones worked. She'd just put a load in one I don't think dried my load that day...

Okay, long, pointless, maybe confusing story... but, it is my blog. So there you go :)
