Like soldiers, march on
"If we can make it through the night we'll see the sun
March on, march on
Even when there's no one there for you march on
Even when the days are long for you march on
Like soldiers March on" So, I suppose you could say that I've developed a liking for Good Charlotte's new cd "Good Morning Revival"... Anyways, I bet most of you thought that I had committed suicide since my last entry was about my "Birthday Blues" but I'm not dead (unless I really am dead and my soul has gone to some alternate universe/dimentiona/plane where I am able to continue my life without knowing that it has, in fact, come to an end..weird..who knows..). Anywho, life has been good. School's come to an end and I passed every class...straight B's..I wasn't too pleased with that but I know alot of people who'd love to have those grades so I'm thankful. I'll try to apply myself more next semester. I also got into Focus on the Family Institute--if i haven't already mentioned that before. I'm turning it down. I'd love to go, but right now I don't think it's what I'm supposed to be doing. The timing is off. I'd like to go my Senior year (fall 08').But, who knows what the future entails.. I've been hanging out with friends here at home--alot more than last year. It's been good. I've been able to read, which is a blessing in itself. Ya...I know. I'm really a nerd deep down, but I must say, who can resist a good Dean Koontz novel? Not I! I've read about three books thus far and I recently bought three more books: The Catcher and the Rye by J.D. Salinger, Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, and Ticktock by Dean Koontz. Books are great and I'm okay with being a nerd. Work has been...interesting. I'm doing case assistant work again, which is transporting children to have weekly visits with their parents because they're been taken into custody by DCFS. You'd never imagine how many parents neglect their children for drugs and so on...and the sad thing is that most of these people look like everyone else. You'd never suspect that their children have been taken into custody. It's sad. But the +'s of my job is that the office consists of 99% women and they find any occassion to throw a Potluck or Pizza Party for...it's great! Girls....they're cool  I'm just being patient like always...In the words of my dear friend Talen Gerber, "My mom say's I'm the full package!!!" Other than that I've been pretty much happy. Towards the end of this past school year I decided that it was time to stop looking back into the past wishing that I could change it and instead learn and grow from it so that I can better my future. It's a work in progress but definitely a great thing. It's good to be able to look back and reminisce without the attributing emotions...the past is the past...the future is what you make of it (alongside God's will for your life). I like this whole new outlook though...the man upstairs is really taking good care of me.. |
