<< I'm still standing after all those tests. >>

Okay, so I just returned from the Midterm Exam Schedule of Hell. No joke, I had exams from 9 to 12 today. I am so emotionally spent. Aside from not knowing some vocabulary, I think I did pretty well on my Anthropology and German tests. The Chemistry test totally effed my up the a. Thank God for curves. All I want to do is take a nap, but I am charged up from knowing that I am done for the week (as far as those classes are concerned). And after Thursday, I will be done for the week. Yeah for Fall Break even if it only is one day plus the weekend. Even though I am not coming home, it will be nice to be able to relax.

I'm so tired of reading my depressed entries...I'm sure you all are as well. Things could be so much worse here and I don't need to focus on the horrible stuff anymore. I have survived the first half of a semester at Miami. I made it through the first fourth of it and I know that I can make it through the next three. So far, this has been an incredible learning experience for me. I have had to learn how to cooperate with others and how to let things go. There are still people here that get on my last nerve, but it isn't anything I can't handle. I have some people here that, though I know I can't confide in them, are generally good people.

It could always be worse. But for now, I'm okay. The feelings of defeat and sadness have morphed into a feeling of hope. That is how I get through each day here now. I hope.

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

Elton John, "I'm Still Standing"

Later Days!
