Everything is gonna be alright, be strong, believe.

Last night, I committed academic suicide. I signed up for my third journalism class of the quarter.

It should be noted that I am also taking an English class and a film criticism class. All five classes require an insane amount of writing. All five classes are work-intensive. I have a project, if not two or three, due every week but one.

And I did this willingly. Cheerfully, even. Why? I'm not really sure.

I enjoy challenging myself. And although these classes will require a lot of work, most of it won't feel like work. Because these are the classes that will teach me how to do what I want to do for a living. I might even go so far as to call them "fun."

So here I am. It's 8:30 in the morning. I've been up this early all week. I haven't gone to bed before 1 am at all either. And I love it.

It'll be okay.

Cute vid. Doesn't really have anything to do with the post, but thanks for the laugh :)

it actually sums up you're blogging and what most of us think of it.

...so stop reading it? Seems simple enough.

Who is "most of us," anon?

She's allowed to post whatever she wants. Her response, that "stop reading;" that's as graceful a remark as any. It really is that simple.

You also spelled "your" wrong, but now I'm just being persnickety.

Thanks :)

Glad to see that there are some who don't just criticize for no reason.

(Nice catch with the "you're/your." I can't believe I missed that!)
