I drink good coffee every morning.

Here's a non-downer, short blog for you.
Warm beverages make me happy, especially these two:

Scream my lungs out to try to get to you.

Hey blog.  I always forget to blog when I'm happy.  Sorry about that.  This one is probably another downer.

Life has been overwhelming lately.  It seems like no matter what, I can't keep up with what I always could.  Like cleaning my house.  I'll get started one day, then I'll have something to leave the house for.  Even if it's for a minute, an interruption means I'll never finish.  Yesterday I swept the floor, so I'm pretty pumped about that.  Just getting the dog hair up keeps me sane sometimes.

I think maybe it's school that's making me crazy.  I really like my classes this semester, but they require a lot of reading.  Reading takes a lot of time.  Time is generally something I don't have much of.  I actually already had to drop one class because I completely forgot to take the first test.  It was a computer lab test, and the week I was supposed to schedule it was a week that my personal life took a major blow.  And so I forgot about it.  And I didn't realize until the next week.  So clearly that class had to be dropped.  That ended up helping me out, though, because that was the class that had a service learning project attached to it, which probably would have been the death of me.  I enjoyed the work involved, but I would not have enjoyed the paper I would have had to write at the end of the semester.  Lord knows I already have enough of those.

Money is super stressing me out, too.  I LOVE my friends, but there are a lot of birthdays and weddings this month.  And I LOVE buying people gifts, but my bank account is pretty upset with me right now.  And the buying isn't over yet.  And I just want to have money to travel.

My love life is doing well (I think).  But even that comes with its issues.  I just don't know how permanent things are, and it terrifies me a little.  I'm getting much deeper into this than I intended to, and I'm having so much fun.  The examples I've had of lasting relationships lately, however, have led me to believe that I can't trust anyone.  And I don't want to be that person, that bitter, untrusting, jaded girl.  But it's REALLY hard not to be right now.

I just want to be at a place where I can hope for something.
