May it bite like a dog, sting like a bee, but be soft like a flower, and sing along with me

The first day back to school (kinda)! To start off, you know me: gotta have some music. : )


Rodney Atkins, "If You're Going Through Hell"

I think this will be one of the songs that I live to during this school year. Because really, if you're going through hell in school:

"If you're going through hell,
Keep on going!
Don't slow down!
If you're scared,
Don't show it!
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there!"

And for any of you that have a Europe map test like me for AP Euro, here's a handy dandy map quiz. Now I'm ready! Yea! I have to be hopeful that with hard work, I can do anything. Ginnie tells me that Lise finished the AP Euro test in half an hour (I wonder how much she was joking about), and Lise says that the studying that she did was just reading through the whole book, even the parts that weren't assigned, and she got a four out of five. Ha ha... guess one of my studying strategies for this year?

Looking forward to tomorrow for creative writing! It seems like it will be an awesome class, and it's the first class since fifth grade that I've had with Kenna! It shall be crazy. : )

Looking forward to Friday! Psychology!! Sure, there's just about six sophomores in there, but so far it seems like it will be the most interesting class that I've ever taken in my life... and maybe I'm just being uber hopeful, but what's wrong with that?? No wonder everyone tells me I should be a therapist... I can't wait to learn more about the human psyche!! Ahhhh! So excited!! X )

I hope that everyone else will be having a fantastic school year too. : )
And now, some inspirational quotes for the school year.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." --Dr. Seuss

"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." --Eleanor Roosevelt

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." --Albert Camus

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." --Eleanor Roosevelt

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." --Thomas Edison

"It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not." -- André Gide

"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer" --Douglass Adams

Peace, love, and good luck
