from The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman


Lately, I've been considering how I old I really feel. When I was younger, I used to feel so much older and more mature than my age, but as time has went by, I think I've grown into my age. The thing I miss about those days is the feeling that I used to be in control, and if I'm learned anything in the past year or so, it's that I, or least my emotions, aren't always in control. I think it's been a humbling and healthy experience, but I think I'm ready to take charge of my life again and not let it pass by in front of my eyes. I have a motivator in my life now, and I want change.

Yet, I'm reminded of something I said to Stef in her room the other night, fits pretty well... "It sucks, because I have the motivation to study, but I'm too tired." And I am tired, I have been for quite some time, but it's...

Thank you for being so understanding and sympathetic with my mini-breakdown yesterday. That meant a lot. Supportive S.O.'s kick ass.

To anybody who's listening... please don't let me waste next week. It's a kind of test for me, to accomplish something during my break, and I refuse to fail.

I feel 20 right now, and I'm okay with that.

How do you have one entry dated the 25th, and then this one dated the 24th? Like you quote yourself, you dork;). Yeah, sorry about that one entry, I just kind of wrote it in the heat of the moment.

I changed the date when I was putting the entry in. I wrote in on the 24th, while I was in class, but didn't get around to typing it out until the 25th. I figured since my moods change so frequently, I'd better mark when I was feeling like that. :-P

Don't worry about "that one entry." I understand your frustration, I share it as well. Hell, I barely even remember what it was about. Hey, at least we get a break from this godforsaken institution...
