Do you want it on your collard greens?
I respect math. There, I said it.
If my life were a line graph, the past year and a bit before that would be jagged lines going this way and that. Right now I feel as though I've flat-lined, literally and figuratively. Nothing is changing. I do the same thing, day in and day out, and all I know is that things will only get worse come fall semester. I know what I need to do now in order to succeed in my classes, but I feel like I won't be able to apply this knew knowledge because I'll be too busy getting no sleep.
I'm afraid to ask my grandparents to co-sign a student loan for me. They're the kind of people that say 'yes' one moment and then before you know it they're taking it all back on account of "thinking it over more thoroughly." I hate that.
And if they say no, I have no one left to ask. And that means I'll have to drop a few classes because there is no way I'll be able to take classes full time and work enough hours to pay rent and sleep.
If I could have one wish granted, I would wish for the ability to write a best-selling novel. At least that way, my trashy romance novel could pay my way through college and I'd have one hell of a side job.
I should sleep. I do get to sleep in tomorrow, but with my luck, my toilet will explode at 4 am and ruin any hopes of getting more than the average 5 hours of sleep I've been getting this past week or seven...
Happy Sunday.

Sometimes things flat-line, son. I doubt things will be this steady for that long, so I suggest enjoying it. Whenever I start complaining that nothing is changing, things DO start changing (and not in a good way). At least things aren't HORRIBLE, right? I dunno, maybe I'm just a pessimist who believes that things could easily get worse, or maybe I'm an optimist for believing that things aren't that bad because they could always be worse.
Either way... the best thing to do is to try and enjoy life as it is, even if it isn't great, and try and take small steps to make it better.
