Between The Lines Of Life

You know that moment when it's the night you've been waiting for? You've been planning on going dancing (country dancing in my case) and you know you're going. Then suddenly, it's time to get ready to go and you start procrastinating. Yep, I'm at that point right now. I want to go but I don't want to walk there. So now, I guess I need to decide if I'm going to stay in tonight and read a book (best homework ever!) or watch a movie and then go to bed early because I only got five hours of sleep last night. Unfortunately, it's time to decide. I think I'm leaning more toward not going this week. Even though last week when my roommate decided not to go I really wanted to go. I guess that's just the way things happen. Definitely going next week though! I'll make myself go! I really do love Country dancing, I'm gonna miss it this summer. Have a date this Saturday, that a friend set up. The guy is nice, so I hope it goes well. I don'

You ever feel like you want something so badly, but you don't want to get your hopes up because you're afraid it won't happen and you'll be crushed? And then your friends or family are expecting it to happen and you just have to say you know it won't, because otherwise you'll get your hopes up too high and they'll just crash down around you, but in the process you just seem to be making yourself depressed? I mean, does anyone know where the line is? Between not letting yourself get your hopes crushed but not bringing yourself so far down that you feel depression start to take over? It's like a tight rope act. One push either way and something bad will happen, and there's nothing you can do but not look down, because otherwise it'll push you one way or the other. I feel like that all the time, about the most mundane stuff. It's all fine and dandy to say one thing when you already have what you want me to have. It's even worse when so

It was a chance of fate... [Read More]

Life has been really hectic lately. I barely manage to keep up with my homework, tests, quizzes, essays, and projects and still have a social life. However, yesterday I mostly finished an essay I've been putting off for weeks, went cycling for a little over half an hour, and finish all my other homework and mostly get it in on time. Today, I woke up late, and yet here I am in the library where I finished a late assignment and am currently waiting to meet up with my group so we can work on a presentation for monday. Life is a great and marvelous work and I love it! Tomorrow I'm doing a lot more homework, including an essay exam, and then helping a friend index. So I'll be done with one project! I'm so excited! Anyway, that was a quick update. Find a way to love life! Trust me, it's worth it. <3Claire

Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 Richard Paul Evans This review is going to be slightly different than my usual. I read this over the summer, so I'm just quickly writing up a review for a class right now.  Previously, I read only one of Richard Paul Evan's books, The Christmas Box , in fact the only reason I even picked this book up is because my aunt loves Richard Paul Evans and she told me about this one over the summer when I was staying at her place. I didn't check it out right away, instead I went home and checked it out at my public library there. My mom immediately stole it from my stack of books, and then gave it back the next day, raving about how good it was. So I put aside the other books I was reading and started reading this one. I really loved the overall feel of the book. It had just the right mix of adventure and character development. Over the course of the story, I fell in love with the main character and his friends. E
