Immaculata University: Sarah McClean

This new semester just picked right up!! I have so much to do already~~ it feels like Christmas never even happened. It's hard to keep going sometimes--it seems like, jeez, this is what I've been doing with my whole life, all just so I can have a piece of paper in my hand that says, I didn't quit. It feels like my real life is on hold, like I'm living in some sort of suspended reality (or, occassionally, that I took a time machine back to high school :/ ). But I just hold on. I'm here for a reason. There is some good I am meant to do here, something I'm holding on to that's worth every late night and exam and paper and the drama and upset and happiness and enjoyment and stupid but fun times. And that's what's going to keep me here. I refuse to be the one who could have, who might have, who had so much potential, but gave up. That's not me, it's never been me, and I won't turn into that.
I have Christian Ethics today, and then Sr. Elaine's English class, and then World Civ with Watson. I like all my classes today, and then I have a big long stretch tonight of no work or night classes in which I guess I'd better do homework. And sleep. Things always look brighter when you're getting enough sleep.

Well, we're back for the new semester!! I moved into the newly renovated Marian on Sunday. It's great--it smells like a hotel and we have ROOM!! New roommate-Alice. We are perfect together-I love it.
My birthday was yesterday. Nobody except for my family, of course, friends from home, and two people here remembered. I had a less-than-stellar day, but then everyone who knew made it awesome, so it turned out alright in the end. It just kind of makes me mad when I go so far out of way for other people and no one does for me.
