Stress and Excitement

Today has been a hot, beautiful day. I woke up, went to class, went to work, and then went to an interview for an internship, which I got and am very excited about! I have a lot to look forward to this week, and so little time to myself, it's crazy. I really should get around to my homework and studying, but it's just so damn hard when all I do is go, go, go. It's also pretty hard to pay attention in a class taught in a completely different language at 9:30 in the morning. But oh well, I signed up for it, it is just another challenge that I am going to have to overcome myself.

Speaking of challenges, a friend of mine decided to stop smoking cigarettes. I am so freaking proud of him. However, that is one difficult challenge that he is going to have to overcome. I am just so thankful that few of my friends have a smoking addiction, or some other sort of addiction for that matter. It is an ugly thing addiction, and good can rarely come from it. Think about it, even the word addiction doesn't sound appealing. It sounds so clingy, so needy, and so helpless. I have known great people who have suffered from an addiction and lost in the battle. I truly hope that everyone can fight the urge to do something they will become addicted to; and I don't mean just drugs. Gambling, smoking, shooting up, over-working, alcohol, success, money, fame, someone, caffeine, gum. Anything.

Well that was another random rant. Sometimes I like just letting my fingers flow when I get in this sort of mood.

'til next time,

XOXO, B
