I should be sleeping, even though I don’t have school tomorrow. But I can’t, I’ve gotten my mind whirring too furiously, and my heart too worked up to even keep my eyes closed for long. This weekend has been a series of catastrophically dramatic ups and downs, from laughing with friends for hours, to working [...]

Can’t sleep, so I shall blog.

One week left?!

Goodbye, summer! I have less than a week before I head back to Ames for my sophomore year at Iowa State University. As excited as I am, I’m not sure if I’m completely ready yet. I’m more than ready to move into Presbyteria and leave my angry, angsty-teenager-full house, and I’m more than ready to [...]

Again, I have no idea where I’m going with this, so I might as well just start rambling. It’s been a pretty good weekend: almost exclusively lovely, in fact. I spent a bit more than I day driving to Iowa with my (non-biological) big Brother Ryan, helping him move stuff into storage in his new [...]

So, I don’t really know where I’m going with this. I haven’t blogged in far too long, probably because I can’t seem to get my thoughts in order for long enough to write something of interest. Also, a good chunk of these summer weeks have been wonderful — my depression and BPD were stable, I [...]

These past few weeks, as well as the next week, have been and will be incredibly busy for me. It’s the end of the semester, and everything is due. Last week alone contained four separate tests, a quiz, and two presentations. This week is papers and quizzes and projects, and more trying to figure out [...]
Sifting through piles and piles of thoughts…

It’s already 12 minutes into Thursday, and for some odd reason, it still feels like a Monday to me — maybe a generous Tuesday, tops. Couldn’t tell ya why, maybe I’m just losing it…
As far as weeks go, this one has been decent, but bumpy. I haven’t fallen asleep in any classes, the weather’s looking [...]
I survived another Wednesday…

This morning started off differently than usual, when my roommate’s alarm didn’t go off, and I woke her up about half an hour before her 8am class. Molly is a beast — this chick was out of bed, showered, dressed, and made it to class on time. Usually, she’s up before 7, and isn’t rushed. [...]

… and I’m (sorta) happy to report that things have changed a bit since the last time I wrote here. I can’t tell you any specific cause, but sometime last week, something gave me a boost. Thinking back on those few days, I can only smile.
I was on top of the world — I couldn’t [...]
Thoughts from the middle of the week

**Note: In attempt to cheer up the demeanor of this blog, I’ve added an “if you need a laugh” page, where I posted a bunch of YouTube videos that I find quite humorous. Let me know if there are others I should add! The quotes page is also pretty amusing, especially if you’ve been quoted… [...]
The ups and downs continue…

I think I need to come up with term for this insane, frustrating, exhausting up and down and up and down and up and down thing that my mind keeps doing. Up– sleeping in and lunch out with Nicole. Down– mom read my blog and calls, crying because she’s worried about me, I get so [...]
