For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
And when we can get our heavy hearts to love lightly, this house of cards will become a home.
There was a time when I thought I knew what I was doing; a time when I thought I knew everyone around me so well. It wasn’t until the days started to go slower and the nights became a little bit longer, that I realized I didn’t know anything at all. I didn’t know you at all, you didn’t know me, and we just kept pretending to pass time. I still don’t know you now, but I hope you’re doing alright.
While going for a drive, whether it be to arrive at a destination or simply for leisure, have you ever stopped and really watched the snow? Driving along in a snowfall so delicate that it seems as if all of the city lights have turned into faint glows. Time suddenly slows as you are watching every flake float to its fate. You find yourself picturing your scenario captured in a snowglobe, shaken in the hands of an innocuous child.
Boy, do I love snow.
Killer coughs. Stuffy nose. Burning head. Freezing body. Being sick for almost two weeks straight is exasperating.
These past few days at the Global Trade Mission has consumed the majority of my time, overwhelming me with schoolwork, but it was worth it. In the end, my group’s business presentation outdid all of the others, winning first place. Currently feeling extremely accomplished, considering it was our first year in the event, our competition was tough, and most of the work was improvised. No solid plan was set, however, our “go-with-the-flow” method seemed to triumph. Along with the satisfactory feeling of success, the chemistry of my team was unassailable. Just two days ago, we met at a table, staring at each other with blank expressions. Now, we’re cracking jokes and making faces as if we became friends in kindergarten.
Oh, and on top of that, I guess my “slacker” habits exist only in my eyes. Yeah, I procrastinate, and I suppose I could work on fixing that, but I manage to get all of my work done in time and maintain my 4.0GPA. I was freaking out about completing assignments on time this morning, but I managed to finish everything at the last second, literally.
Good mood. Glad to know I made a sagacious decision in choosing business as my major. Looks like my future’s still shining bright. :)
