My past year has been one emotion roller coaster after another. However, I think I had a lesson or two to learn from this troubling time. I think my main lesson has to be trust myself. I am learning to trust my abilities. I am learning I can live alone when and if the time comes. I am learning to further refine my ability to be a rock during a crisis. The other night, my father told me I'm getting the house when he dies. Of course, he's planning on living another 30 or more years. However, he's decided that I'm the child of his that's the most capable of handling finances. I've earn his trust in that regards.

My other title for this post could have been "I didn't win the booby prize; I won the grand prize." In a way, I did. My goal in life at the moment is to get out of school and do the best in the final few classes I have left. When I finish, I'll have a Bachelor's Degree. One day, when I'm ready, I can go back and get a Master's Degree. I only have promise in my life at the moment.

However, I do need to rest. I have this fever blister on my lip that's I've had since Thursday. It's having trouble healing because it cracks open and bleeds whenever I open my mouth. My Special Topics professor saw it on my lip yesterday and told me to get some rest since I looked sick. I'm trying. I only had PHP class today and did an hour of work. I'm taking today easy. At the moment, I'm typing the page or so I wrote for the Film paper due on Monday. Tomorrow, I only have tests in my classes. Friday will be spent in PHP class, again, and working on the ACM site. My weekend will be spent on homework. Once I get past turning in this essay, I'll have some pressure off my back.

Yesterday, I did pick up the new Amy Grant live album. Great pick up. If was refreshing to hear old songs in a new light. Shame Best Buy didn't have the DVD companion when I was there. I was lucky just to find the album behind all the other Amy Grant CDs.
