Grrr

I can't sleep. Too many stresses keeping me thinking. I just ate two cookies; maybe that will help. I would read, but I think it's a little late for bright light. I'm back to reading "Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music, and Why We Should, Like, Care". I was reading it a couple years ago, and then put it down. Now I'm reading it again and really enjoying it. I'll try to put a quote or two on here at some point. It makes me feel dumb in parts; I've had to look up a phrase, and a couple of words. I think the problem with today is it's making us all stupid...even though we have information at our fingertips. Something to think about...good night.

More pressure than writing in school

I am applying for a scholarship that would take $5,000 off my student loans. It involves three essay questions, and I have major writer's block. It's way more stressful than just writing for a grade...this is for MONEY! I already sent what I have so far to my mom and my friend, and they didn't seem too impressed. They seem to think I should have more specifics...like what I'll owe each month, etc. Two of the questions are about my financial situation, and one is like a personal statement. Wish me luck! I don't think I'll know for about three months AFTER I submit, and who knows when I'll be ready to do that. Hopefully soon, but I have until October. But I'll try to have it done in the next couple of days.

nice

I love when people invite me to stuff, or to do stuff. The happiness it gives me makes me feel like a little kid. Ok, dorky.

Fun

I had fun tonight at my first rooftop party. IT was a little scary getting up and down from the roof, but I did well. Seeing the fireworks from every direction was great! Very pretty! Grilled food is always delicious.

YAY!!!

I'm skeptical that I actually measured it correctly, but my blood pressure is down to 121/76. I have no idea why it is so much lower than the last time I measured it--that was a long time ago--maybe I'm that much more relaxed??? I don't know. I'm not really eating well, and I haven't lost weight. That's why I hope it is not an error. But anyway, Hurray!

...you know

hee hee!

I just went out in the pouring down rain. It was so invigorating. I got soaking wet and came inside and had to put on dry, warm pajama pants and t-shirt. I love how rain makes me so giddy.
