And today is the first day of Lent. I don't know what I should give up... I was thinking that I should give up chocolate (as it is my favourite food), however, on Friday I am going to my friend's 19th Birthday Party and there will be chocolate fondue. So I don't know how well that will work out. I can't really give up things like TV, caffiene, Credit Cards, etc. because I don't really use any of them. Maybe I should give up drinking juice boxes in my basement while on the computer - for I certainly to drink quite a few of them. Or maybe give up laziness. What are your thoughts? (open ended question to see if anyone - including you, Anne - read this :P)
Well I'm half way done my midterms. Yay! Physics was alright - I hope that I did not completely bomb or anything.
It's not good, for lately, I've been finding myself become really annoyed at things or people a lot faster than I have in the past. It's kind of frustrating. I guess it's because lately I've also been feeling more stressed out and haven't been getting enough sleep. Or maybe I'm just starting to crack. *gah*
I feel like watching horrendously sappy movies at this moment... but I can't really think of any. (Not that I really have time for them - but maybe on Friday or Saturday night) Any suggestions?
Well I am going to be a brave woman and wear these khaki pants that I bought - despite mum's warnings that I should not because I'll get them dirty due to current walking conditions... But I feel like wearing them, and take that chance and hope that they don't get dirty.
Sad day. my life is so terribly exciting.
Sometimes I feel like giving up... and just becoming a hermit. It would be a good life - you wouldn't have to worry about anyone else except yourself... I guess (and know) that it would become lonely, but you wouldn't have to worry about pressures from society, the corporate wheel, peers, families or anyone in fact! Only just yourself, the environment and God. And well if you die while being a hermit, it won't really matter, for (a) no one will miss you, for know one knows you and (b) you'll definitely be in a better place anyways.
Anyways, I should go and finish up my laundry then to go classes... I sort of wanted to go skating, but I was overcome with laziness. And now it's not worth it for by the time I would get there, I would have to go to class. Alas.

Ah Bean...I think we should both give up our negative attitudes for Lent (or maybe for always). Nothing like a feeling of disatisfaction (s/p?) with oneself and the world...or perhaps it's not a question of what to give up but what to add--maybe more quiet time for you and Jesus or being more conscious about giving things up to God...but now I'm getting all Dad-sounding ;-p
A good movie is "Singing in the Rain"...especially in German, but there may be better movies for you.
I'll be praying for you Bean...for *inspiration* and energy and less feelings of "bleh". Hope you have a nice evening. Denk an dich :-)
Uhmm, well, for Lent I gave up m y favourite non-productive and distracting online game; I'm going to try and avoid online games and distractions peroid! But you don't have to necessarily give something up--you could take something positive up! The main idea is that whatever you do, it betters you as a person and brings you closer to God. So I guess mine sorta does that, as it's supposed to keep me doing stuff I should be doing! HAH! *ahem* anyway ...
And an okay sappy movie is The Notebook; I downloaded it (bad me!) and it's not too bad. I think it'd be better if it was an actual video; some downloads are not good quality!
And yes, I read your blog!
