"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."

Papers, papers...

~Always jump in the puddles! Always skip alongside the flowers. The only fights worth fighting are the pillow and food varieties.

I am having the hardest time focusing. Stupid thing is, I only had one class today. And all I really have to do is write two papers. I think the problem is that my options are so wide. I want to get all the research I can and write the best papers... thus I feel overwhelmed and have barely started. Even though I'm excited about my D&C paper.

I know that I'll have to write my three final research papers eventually. They have to be done. Just like every other bit of homework that I get every day of my life! And I know how good I'll feel when I'm done. Which is why I don't understand why I can't just sit down and write them! What the heck?!

Partly I feel like I have plenty of time. I got home from school at eleven today. I had 13 hours to work on homework. It is now four and I've managed to do some French and some things that I want to do. I am trying to work out a schedule for this fall and praying my account won't have a hold on it when I register next week because I haven't done my ecclesiastical endorsement...

I think I'm really starting to give up on this semester... 14 days left of class! In a month I'll be on my "Spring Break" in between semesters! I'm so excited!
