So I think this is def. the worst week I've had in a LONG while. Three tests, quiz, and a project all due this week. *sigh* no fun...
I got to thinking about a post a friend of mine made. She quoted someone saying something to the effect that the way your day goes is only as good as what you put into it. Basically I took that to mean that, you can have a good/bad/exciting/amazing/horrible etc. day based only on what you put into that day. But do you ever consider the variables that play into it? Of course it's your choice on the attitude you have. But really, working today....how is that fun or how in the world can you make that fun? Juggle canned peas??? Taking a test today...WOOHOOO maybe I can tap the person in front of me to piss them off and try not to get caught...dun dun duuuuuuuun....exciting....no...no you can't...how do you turn everyday blah, into excitement? You look at the Olympic contestants and notice that they love what they do. Doing 360's and going airborne for what seems like forever! People that go exploring in the mountains, or people that find new species of whatever or plants or I don't know. It always seems like everyone else has a better life, more fun, more chances than yourself. I don't know how to put more into a day that seems to have been spent before it even started! Tomorrow for instance, have class at 8:30, 10:30, 2:30. I'm going to spend a great deal of time before, and after those classes in the Library trying to get my web page project done. Than after that I might go to XA since I haven't gone in forever and everyone keeps saying that the last one was SO AMAZING!!!!! Than I'll skip out on hanging out with anyone because yet again I have a test to study for...than I'll put my dog in bed with me....go to sleep...wake up at 7:15am on thurs. and start all over again. What can you add when it's all played out for you? I could skip tomorrow and miss nothing....There's something wrong with this picture.

I think there is a difference between having and exciting life and enjoying life. I also think a lot of this has to do with perspective and delayed gratification. There is a reason you take a test...to prove what you have learned and that you are capable of applying it so that you can eventually get a job. This isn't always what tests assess anymore, but that's my ideal anyway...but the point is, going to school can be endured because it's a means to an end. Hopefully you will somewhat like the job you eventually get. But again, I maintain that there's a difference between having excitement and having peace. Don't go looking for glam cuz there's always bigger and better to be had. Actually...I think to sum it up would be to say: seek God. If you don't have Him, then your life should be poo, and if you do have Him then whatever you're going through can be resolved to His glory. hm...that was kinda long. sorry.

I just think that to many of us take life for granted. You should use every moment that you have and make the best of it. Even if it is working. Just because we don't get to go out with our friends every night doesn't mean that life is pointless. You are working toward something and right now that should be the only thing that you think about. Having goals and acheiveing them. Sometimes I feel like I never have anything to do, but then I look back and I think well you can't go out every night.

Cool! Thanx for pointing me to this blog. Good thoughts, too. It would be nice to have a great day every day, but that's not possible. We have to just ride the boring stuff out, I guess. Ooh, here's a thought: would the good stuff still seem good if that's all we had? Maybe the contrast between good and boring days is what keeps life interesting.
