I don't mean to complain or anything, but school really blows right now.

We have a really, really, really hard class crammed into two weeks. Brilliant move on the part of the administration.

Can't do anything about it besides suck it up, though. Lots of studying and little motivation.

Need break!

Ever since I got back after Christmas, I have just faced one catastrophe or stressor after another. don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for this opportunity. But it's the external stuff that's bringing me down. The DB Debacle is pretty high on the list of crappy things to happen. Then there's my friend who is very ill right now. And don't forget the constant stress of school that makes life oh so cheery.

Blah! I need some time to recharge. This break will be nice, but I'm afraid it's too short. Exactly how long does it take to get one's head screwed back on properly?

And how do I know when it's securely there? In other words, how do I know when I'm me again? Trust is going to be a major theme in my life for a time to come.

"Anyone is capable of anything." A friend of mine told me that a long time ago. It almost indicates that nobody can be trusted. At any second, the people who you thought you could trust could turn out to be conning you all along.

But, more recently he added, "...and that anything can be something really wonderful."

Yeah, I like that philosophy.
