You know, I say every year that I'm going to do well in school and try harder, but then I get bogged down and feel like doing absolutely nothing.

I NEED to change whatever I'm doing wrong and keep that original mindset involved in my daily life.

Exercise, homework, minimal computer-ing (says the nerd writing a blog)!

It might have something to do with the fact that the school is so dark, and lower daily sunlight exposure causes me to slide into my Winter Blues. They say "you" don't feel like doing much when you're depressed--
They're right.

Maybe fluorescent lights can fool plants into growing, but they can't fool me! Uh, go self!

Either way.

Kierra's birthday was this weekend. She's been my very best friend for YEARS, now, and I can't imagine my life without her in it. People say they're best friends forever and then end up going to different colleges and forgetting about each other. That ain't us. :| She and I are bonded by our high passion and reciprocal (platonic) love, and that's all there is to it. We're willing to be honest with one another and to work to maintain this friendship, despite the distance. It's easy for us, I guess, because I used to only see her once every couple months (if I was lucky). She didn't have instant messenger, she didn't have texting, and she wasn't allowed to call except for a certain time. We spoke mostly by notes, and even that was taken away from us, after a while.

And it was rough, but worth it.

So I figure, if she and I can figure that out, adulthood won't be so terribly problematic. We'll have to worry about family, yeah, but we'll have our own phones, our own computers, our own residences. We'll have more than we started with, you know?


Anyway.

She and I were able to hang out, yesterday, for a few hours. It definitely made the top ten for Best Day Ever, if not top five. To be able to hang out with her on her eighteenth birthday? Total honor. Completely. :]

Now I'm off to plan this whole Halloween thing. Steigen and I are hoping to throw another party like last year, but this time we're going to send out invites early. Whee!
