I’m slipping…

Thanks to a dumb English paper, I got three and a half hours of sleep last night, and I’ve been running around most of today, and yesterday. I’ve had two tests already this week, with another one on Friday, and then a whole weekend on a retreat with Cru, as part of the planning team. [...]

Am I doing better?

I think so.
Last weekend was really difficult, and I cried myself to sleep three nights in a row. I’ve been clean for nine days now, after a very emotional Thursday night, a week and a half ago. During that bad weekend, Ryan convinced me to vent to him, and I ended up leaking that I’d [...]

Busy busy busy Bunmi…

It’s week two of school, and somehow, I’m still managing to get sleep, stay awake in my classes, and be a competent employee 11 hours a week. I’ve been keeping on top of my homework, which I intend to continue, and I’ve been doing what I can to work ahead. I’ve even been able to [...]

Suddenly, I feel very small…

I don’t even know what’s the matter with my head. Today started off really really early, but this morning was good, and even with not nearly enough sleep, I managed to stay awake in both of my classes, and my appointment with counselor lady. I even took the initiative to go to a familiar quiet [...]

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… [...]

All these up and downs are making me ill…

The first week of classes has gone pretty well. My arm was healing, I made it to all my classes and bought all my books for less than half of what they cost last semester, I managed to stay warm in spite of the crazy midwestern freezing temperatures, I was keeping on top of what [...]

… dead week…

Life is pretty crazy, huh? This weekend, there was a double homicide in west Ames, the city where I’m going to school. I got a call from the ISU-alert number Saturday morning, and had to listen to the message about the killings and the person of interest twice before it sunk in. The story was [...]

Usually I’m not a fan of Mondays…

… but today was pretty nice. Lotsa sleeping, plenty of quiet time, nobody hovering around 24/7 like the last time I was home, no due dates looming in the near future, getting psyched up to meet with the Lifehouse Skit Team tomorrow (::extreme excitement::), sliding all over the kitchen floor in my socks…
I honestly can’t [...]

Thanksgiving Break, here I come!

Today’s To Do List:

Put the finishing touches on an English paper I was up until 1:30 working on
Go to Sociology (be proud I turned in my mini-essay days in advance)
Trek back to my room without chewing on my chapped lips
Put a bunch of documents on my flash drive
Go print everything
Drop off my [...]

… I won’t let this ruin my day.

Wednesday. Insanity. Exhaustion.
… I know it’s coming, every time, and it still knocks me over. Classes from 9-5:30 with two short breaks to finish homework, usually on less than 6 hours of sleep. I know I shouldn’t complain, but most of the time, it’s easy to. Today, an extra element was thrown in the mix: [...]
