Growth?

I have been in love with this man's music for quite a while now. Never gets old.

Unfortunately, it hasn't been a particularly easy last couple weeks.
First, my car (even though we haven't gotten along well the last 2+ years anyway) is practically worthless, since I let the engine seize. Moral of the story is: Don't ignore oil lights, even if they are only on for 20 minutes. You will be sorry.
So now I have to find a new car. My parents are being great about the situation, allowing me to borrow my Dad's car until I find a new one. Its just frustrating, since I finally paid this thing off, and let me tell you, with all the repairs, it hasn't been cheap.

Additionally, I haven't been enjoying school at all. I don't usually love it, but I like it less this semester. I haven't been doing quite as well as I might like, and I'm not interested in any of my classes.

Time is just slipping out of my hands. I can't even comprehend how quickly it passes. I don't feel like I get anything done and I don't have any free time. I'm in a time warp.

When I really think about all these essentially minor concerns, I just have to realize how much I still have to be thankful for. Things could be infinitely times worse. I definitely need to learn how to deal with loss, no matter how minor it is.
Its just not something I like to practice, I guess.

LIVI, i love you! i know your school is so hard but you're right, we have a lot to be thankful for... such as an education. i have to remind myself of that all the time, especially when i am annoyed with homework. and you're also right, it will be over too soon. but you're smart and lovely for considering these things. you'll be better off for it :)
