After this week's drama, I've been instructed to think positive, and record my accomplishments so that I can look back later and be proud of myself.
-Refrained from counting my steps
-Worked my average schedule, no overtime and no sick days
-Vented to Ella about normal things instead of bottling them up
-Made friends with Tony
-Completed 12 scholarship essays
-Overcame my nervousness and called an Infectious Disease research lab with questions
-Impressed a college professor that I will have at least one class with next year
-Survived a family get together
-Took time out of my day to relax and read. (Finished Ruby Red series, now I'm reading A Long Way Gone)
-Made this list, giving myself praise instead of being upset at myself for not doing more
-Slept at least ten hours so far
-Stayed hydrated enough to satisfy my doctor

Breath of fresh air :)
I really love this journal skin, so I felt like using it.
I'm actually really lucky. My life is good right now, and I'm happy about it.
I have an excellent job, and I will hopefully have a second excellent job soon. I have the stories, and they get me through everything.
I've been reading a lot. Isn't it amazing how a book can get you to a fantastic place, far away from your troubles?
I also have made the most epic college decisions ever. OIT is an awesome school. I love the climate, the challenging curriculum, the small(ish) student body, and they're letting me take Kiki! I'll be living on campus in an apartment with three other girls.
Bounce Back
I've been pushed down over and over and over again. Every time I feel like the world is ending, and I hate myself for not being better. Not being right for the job. Not being good enough for someone to choose me as a roommate. Not getting a better grade. Not, not, not.
But, every time I get back up, and you know what? I kick ASS.
I work so hard. So what if I get rejected again and again? I pick myself up eventually , and I give it my all.
Someone made a comment about me today. "Kate" they said, "You never give less than. 150%." It's true. I put every ounce of energy I have into what I'm doing.
Maybe I'll never prove those potential room
Busy, but nice
Life has been crazy lately, but it's all good. I'm working on housing applications and registration. I also have senior pictures rapidly approaching, so that'll be cool.
Everything that I'm working on right now is good and fun and all that, but it is a lot. I'm pretty run down, and with finals around the corner, I have four quartets staring down my throat and a lot of Venture homework.
Thankfully, I have support, and I appreciate how my friends have been helping me cope. :3
Brainpower
I'm not usually one to brag about my accomplishments, but the only positive thing I could ever say about myself is that I'm smart. Smarter than a lot of people, at least (not my friends... I have smart friends.) It's the only thing I like about myself, actually. I may not be beautiful, or skinny, but my brain is beautiful.
In second grade, we all got copies of the children's dictionary to take home. I was so thrilled. I took it home and kept it in my room, away from my destructive sister. I read the entire thing, and went back to tell my teacher, and she didn't believe me. No one does. I sat and read my older sister's college chemistry books
