Some Days...

Wow...it's been a while since my last post...mostly cuz my host was down and I didn't want to post anything to a non-layouted blog. T_T I know, I'm weird. But anyhow, I felt like posting today.

It happens to be my 19th birthday today, w00t! Also, I'm looking to have a host for my site, so if anyone [which is no one since no one reads this T_T] knows anyone who's willing to host a sistah, well...hit me up. =P

College and work both start for me on Monday...oh joy. T_T What a lovely [not] birthday present. Overall, the day's been good. =) Umm...not much more to say...I had a ton of things but have mostly forgotten them all.

For the quote of the day, I did a rough translation that tried to capture the poetry of the original. =)

voh zamaanaa kah rahaa hai...
ki fasaanaa-
ki fasaanaa ban ga'ii hai."

Picky Little Me

I do not really like my life right now.  ='(

Right Feelings

This- this is the feeling I associate with summertime.  This peace beyond bliss.  It is amazing.  The weather is beyond description in its serenity and heavenliness.  I feel light and at ease.

There's no "one" thing that leads to this but I will say that it's been a long time in coming!  Still, can't complain.  School is going fairly awesomely.  Everything else is chugging along.  My bank account is pretty upset with me lol, but hey- what can I say?  Stuff happens.  o_o

Yup- that's all I wanted to say.  ^__^  Hope all of you are doing at least half as well as I am =P

I have learned that in order to find happiness, you cannot chase happiness itself.  It is a byproduct of rightness.  Chase the right choices, strive to reach them and you will find happiness somewhere along the way.

College

Had my first day of classes today, and it started off quite well.  Got there an hour early to give myself time and just to chill.  My first class (Math 1218) is really full and stuff but that's okay it's math.  XD  I had no trouble finding that one, even had a half hour left over and grabbed a hot chocolate (haven't had that in a while).

Next class was Speech 1100, and that was all the way over in blinkin' building M, which is like a bajillion miles away if you're walking, which I was.  T_T  But no matter, my feet are kinda crying (wrong shoes -_-'), but they will be fine.

Afterwards, I hit the library (FINALLY!  I was going into withdrawal symptoms!  >< !)  Got myself two books and ordered two more that weren't there.  Best of all, as I was waiting for my ride, and reading, someone tapped me on the shoulder and it was MY BEST FRIEND FROM GRADE SCHOOL!

Well, it's not as amazing as it sounds since she was with me through all four years of high school, too, but it feels great knowing we've known each other since we were so widdle!  ^__^  We both initially had plans to attend different universities but somehow ended up at our current college (of dreams XDD  lil inside joke there).

Anyhow, it was great.  =)  Afterwards, I went around car shopping for a bit and drove (shh, no permit or license! &nsbp;XD &nsbp;I'm a good driver though, no worries.  Inshallah that car dealy will work itself out...I really need it to.  O.o)

The quote of the day for today is from one of books I checked out (which is full of awesome quotage, by the way.)  I checked it out towards the end of my senior year but didn't get more than...ugh, I don't even remember the first page.  I think it was too close to the end of the year and I had to return it.  x_o  Oh, well, so far it's a good read.  =)  For the benefit of semi-back story, I'll type out the extended quote.


Quote of the Day:

"And I would see her...before me, a shimmering, precious creature soon to grow old, soon to die, soon to lose these moments that in their intangiblity promised to us, wrongly...wrongly, an immortality.  As if it were our birthright, which we could not come to grasp the meaning of until this time of middle life when we looked on only as many years ahead as already lay behind us.  When every moment, every moment must be first known and then savored." --Louis, from Anne Rice's, Interview With The Vampire

Food For Thought

I have so much on my plate I wonder where it all goes.  I have to start college in less than a week.  I need a job.  I need a car.  I need a license to drive said car to college.  I have no transportation currently to my educational institute.  I need a job.  I haven't heard back from the places I applied to yet ><   I have no credit.  I am extremely stressed out.

-breathes-

I am going to make a To-Do List.  Then I will systematically attempt to get everything on it, done.  Or most of it at least.  I will further look at more job options.  And pray, gotta do a lot of that still.

You all can pray for me too.

Additionally, I haven't been able to update in so long because my ftp won't connect!  ><  It's really starting to piss me off, maybe I'll just shove Filezilla down a toilet and flush it into oblivion.

Apparently, being the primitive idiot that I am, I accidentally wrote this post OVER my previous post which was titled, "Buddy Lists"  Windows Live Writer is pissing me off, as it doesn't have the template feature that Blogger does, but being the supremely lazy being that I incidentally enough, also am, I am probably going to continue using it because it means I don't have to log in to Blogger for every post- even though as soon as I'm done posting, I'll probably log into it anyways and try to fix it up to my liking.  >.<
