Day 6.

Who I am hates who I've been. You might have heard these words before in a song by Relient K with that title. To me this phrase is talking about my growth as a child of God. Year after year I look over who I have been, what were my goals, and often I see things I am not proud of. Who I have been is not such the best thing, but still I take comfort in the fact that I am not all the way grown yet. Just as a child grows physically, God's children grow spiritually as well. I think God teaches me something in each of my failures, so I am constantly learning what he wants me to be. Obviously he has a plan; he's making me who I am and who I am going to be. But who does he want me to be? Well, as the Bible states, God wants me to mirror Christ (Himself! Isn't it amazing how there can be 3 beings in one?). So as I grow spiritually, I pray that I do hate who I was and instead become who God wants me to be. So that's sorta my thoughts today. :) Also, instead of a picture I got a link for some music!

Day 5.

My thoughts today have to do with dealing with lazy and/or unmotivated children (coughmybrothercoughcough). I like to call them the ones whose major/goal in life is to be a couch potato. He does not want to listen to you because he hates doing things that make him work. If it is not play, then he refuses to do it. I have learned through experience that this type of child continues to behave worse and worse UNLESS the child's way of thinking changes, or if someone of authority steps in. No, not just someone with authority, but someone whose authority is acknowledged by the child. Now if the parents are too easy on the child, much is not expected of him and therefore he will continue in his path of laziness. He will continue to believe that he cannot do anything work related because A. it has little to no reward, or B. it is too difficult for him.
Now here is the sad part, I only know all this and its effects so well because I used to be a lazy, unmotivated child. Although my laziness tended more towards reading instead of video games, it still was not right to ignore my responsibilities. So my question is do you let someone close to you continue to waste his time playing around, or do you keep on pressing the matter until he changes, even if it makes him hate you the whole way through?

Day 4.

If only sleeping on it did anything besides giving you neck pains..
At certain points of the day it seemed as if I had so much going through my mind and then I sit down to write and I go blank. I have decided that today is just one of those days when I am just so tired that the thoughts go in one ear and out the other. Now, if you have ever tried studying while you are tired and just out of it, then you might understand exactly how I felt today. This morning I didn't have classes so I figured it could be a study day. Only problem is last night I didn't go to bed exactly early, (yeah, typical teenager I suppose), and this morning I had a babysitting job real early. Basically, I was just downright tired before the day had barely begun. After the job, I realized my math homework was due tomorrow and I still needed to purchase my access code for the online thing. So obviously I couldn't start my homework just yet. Got the code after a long wait in line but only got home just in time to take the twins to another track practice. Finally, after dropping them off, I got a chance to study at the library... where I fell asleep! (Oops!) Remembering where I was, I woke myself up every now and then, and read more of my LBH to make sure I wasn't getting weird looks for being well... idk is that normal or strange to fall asleep at a library? Anyways, it wasn't even that restful, cause as soon as I got home I was hungry and tired. Like really hungry. After dinner I attempted my Math hw. I was still too tired even to get past the second problem. So I fell asleep with my book in my hands, (very uncomfortable on a narrow wooden bench), and with a borrowed laptop on the table next to me for when I woke up. Oh how I wish you could just sleep on those books and dream the information or somehow be rested while learning. *sigh* I suppose that is sorta the inspiration for what I finally decided for today's picture. Sorry for making this so long. Maybe I'll be too tired to write this much tomorrow. xD Bonsoir mes amis! 
p.s. haven't taken french in awhile, hope I'm still remembering correctly. lol

Day 3.

Day 3. DINNER!!!!
So today was the first day back to school. As usual nothing much was really done in class except introductions and rules. After my classes were over, I nicely found out I had been ditched by my wonderful brother, Russ. Meanwhile, my mom sends me a text saying I have to bring my sisters to track practice. By the time I got home they were already supposed to be at practice. So I got rid of my brother and took the girls out. Now, since their practice is only an hour long, I am sitting at the library right by their school. Lesson learned? Yes, always check your phone for text messages BEFORE you start playing soccer. Especially when you know it is your last class which has already been dismissed but you are just playing for fun, AND your big brother might get out of his last class early and not want to wait around for you. Basically COMMUNICATE. hmm I gotta put up the picture when I get home... ah home now. It is an hour later too. Now for what all this has to do with my picture. Due to being busy with all that stuff, I barely had any breakfast or lunch, I did not get a chance to eat when I picked up the twins; consequently, I am STARVING. All I could think about for the last 3 hours is FOOD. So there ya have it. I'm waiting for dinner. Adieu!

Day 1 and 2.

Day 1. Not just a necklace, each charm has meaning.
Day 2. New shoes!!
I meant to start this yesterday. The idea is this is a blog for me, myself, and I. If you have somehow managed to find this page, well actually I don't mind. I just hope it doesn't bore you to death. Anyways, back to what I am doing here. Every day of being back in school I am posting a new picture that represents whatever I am thinking about that day. Some pictures I might explain, some not. It really depends on my mood. Day 1 was sort of one of those days. Day 2 (today) on the other hand.. haha. My big brother got me new shoes!! It was really random but I like them! I did have other things on my mind, but I decided new shoes are more exciting than my new textbooks for school. Like really, sparkly shoes, or boring textbooks? Get my point? Yeah. Ummm I don't know what normal people do in their blogs, but I'm just being me and typing whatever I want. Ciao!
