a case of the Mondays

So, it has been almost 3 months since I made a post. It has been far too long, so I decided to start this thing back up. I need to make myself take time out of my day to let my feelings out, to vent, but mostly just share my thoughts with you all. It has been a rough quarter. The weather has been great but the classes, not so much. Class is a lot harder than I expected and with being with an inseason sport, I just don't find time for myself any more. I talked to one of my best friends from home today, and he really made me realize that I havent seen him or the quad since december 31, 2008. It has been a long 4-5 months without them, and I thank my friends here for helping me through it. I am a very family oriented person, and a small town girl at heart and being in the big city for so long I can't help but get caught up in life. And it is days like these that I miss home more than ever. It is sunny, I have a little bit of studying to do. I did not have a long clinical day, so everything should be dandy right. Not quite. I just want to go home. Just for one night. Just to see my parents, and my grandma, have a home cooked meal and to sit on my porch.

My biggest fear right now is that I am getting burnt out of AT. I have let it consume my life for the past 6 weeks and worry about it constantly. I just need to move on out of this quarter and everything will be dandy. When Softball slows down, I can go home, and school is over, I will be one happy happy person.

I think the only thing that bugs me about softball here is that we have sunday game, meaning I cant go to mass early, and I have intramurals at night so I cannot go then either. So until next weekend, I will have to just pray on my own, and get through it. Just like I have all the other times before.

In Him, I find Strength to get through the day. In Him I find comfort. In Him I find my way home. In Him I find that things could always be worse.

Trying to keep the faith, Day by Day.
