Make me Stronger

Today is March 31st, 2011. Melting snow, wet sidewalks, dirty roads; Today was sunshine and warmth. Today was the last day of my March Madness. Today should have been a great day.

Nope. I woke up feeling sore all over and my voice sounded like a 12 year old boy going through puberty. Throughout the day I felt so weak and I was trying hard to pull through my classes. Every step I took felt like an earthquake in my head. My body felt numb and achy, and worse of all, everything I ate tasted so bland. Half way through my last class, I couldn't do it no more, my classmates had noticed that my face had turned bright red and I felt my heart pumping really fast. I asked my prof to leave (its a very small class) and took a long bus ride home.

Man, great timing-just when I have a group presentation tomorrow morning and my group of "keeners" want to meet at 7:30AM to have a final run through. On the bright side, thank the Tylenol inventors and a good ole nap. I feel a little less drowsy and a tad more energized.

Its been a tiring month, I want to finish strong, just a few more assignments, just a few more odd and ends, just a few more days and I will be done classes.


Dear God, please help me to finish strong because I feel oh so weak right now.

March for Moody

This month needs to get out of my way, seriously. Though March has pass its half way point, and in my terms, I consider that near-but-not-close-enough towards the end, I hate it!!!

I just hate all the work I have to do and it makes me question so much about basically everything. I actually hate sitting in front of the computer for hours trying to get things done. I hate how, even though I was in the mall for a bit today, I felt that I should not have been there and should have been finishing some homework instead. I was not compelled to buy anything or look at anything! I've also been really moody lately, especially at home and I hate that too. I guess all this work and stress is getting to me. Ugh. Things aren't going the greatest with the family either, so I guess on top of my school disaster, I have another anxiety-prone matter.

I don't want to say life sucks, because I know it doesn't, and this is only temporary, and as much as I can complain, it doesn't compare to what people on the other side of the world are facing.

Man, there was literally a lot of 'hate' in this blog. I'm not going to end up anywhere if I keep this up
Suck it up Princess.

Giving up

It seems like its that time of year again. I didn't even know when Lent would start until I read a pancake recipe yesterday in the Metro. It was in honor of Shove Tuesday aka "Fat Tuesday," being today. I guess I still have a couple of hours to figure out what I will be lenting this year. Last year I gave up chocolate and I did surprisingly well. Though Sundays don't count as part of the 40 days, I didn't touch chocolate all through lent until Easter morning- You bet it was hard!

This year, I've had some ideas and I feel the urge to challenge myself to not be "excessive". In the past term I read and learned about people consuming excessively and I know sometimes I do it too-be it buying clothes, snacking, or just hoarding what not.

So maybe I will give up being excessive? I don't know how I will go about doing this because the boundaries seems fuzzy already. I guess I will be more conscious of my actions and perhaps this will make me reflect on my usage of time and money more. Recently, I find myself focusing on school excessively. I forecast this month to be cold, blue and foggy for me since I have so much to do. School is that gray cloud over my head and thus, I've been thinking and concentrating a lot on what I have to get done each day: what is due, which member of my group project(s) is doing what, etc.

Hopefully, this month will shed some light on me, not only to initiate Spring (if it comes), but also to add some sunshine to my days and welcome Easter.


What are You giving up for Lent?
