finish my degree (read all 2 entries…)
I DID IT!! 2 years ago

(this is important enough for an all-caps title, right?)

i finally, finally, finally found out that i’m getting my diploma. woo-frickin-hoo! i’ve been working on this – finishing – for 2 years, and it seems like it’s hard.

there have been moments since i’ve found out that i’ve felt pretty sad. it just feels like it’s been such a struggle to get to this place. but i believe i’ll start feeling relieved and excited and happy about this in the near future.



communicate with my teachers (read all 2 entries…)
got my notes 4 years ago

picked up my notes so i can give them to my teachers on thursday. they state my disability and why it sometimes hinders me in the semester. i hate that, y’know – having to admit my weaknesses and seem less than good, but i guess that’s something i’ve been given in life to build character or something.

at least this way, my teachers will be aware of it before it occurs. well actually, hopefully it won’t occur. but just in case it does, i’ll have let my teachers be aware of it ahead of time so i seem more responsible rather than making an excuse and trying to do damage control.



end a relationship (read all 3 entries…)
another down 4 years ago

yep, like a carpenter cutting down trees…

i sent a note to another guy saying that i didn’t want to talk anymore. i guess that’s fine, considering we only talked via email and occasionally by phone. it’s just more effort than it’s worth, y’know.

so i’m on the road to… maybe to none. that would be comfortable.
