Like Garfield on a Monday

Monday's, they definitely are an anomaly. Its the first official day of the week, that day you begrudgingly go back to work or school. For me, in high school at least, it was that day that felt like an obstacle. The odd thing is though, that Tuesdays aren't much better, they tend to be just as boring. Wednesday is the day in the week where time gets tolerable, its that hump day, from there on out you know that the weekend is almost their. But nothing beats the feeling you get on Friday. Rebbecca Black may get a lot of flack for her song, but in truth it does capture the feeling of Friday almost spot on. Friday's give you that feeling of accomplishment, you survived another week. Not to mention its the day that the party part of the week begins. Its the peak of the week.

On to what happened in my day. It started off as many of my days have for the last few weeks, late. I woke up, brushed my teeth, and began sitting and watching TV with my mom and step dad. I made lunch, and then sat and read the manga "Ouran High School Host Club".

Speaking of which, I might as well discuss my love for this series. This last week I came across it on Netflix while browsing, and with having had good experience with a few animes before, I decided to watch it. By the end of the next day I had finished both seasons, realizing how good it was. The show ended rather abruptly, and I was of course interested in what happened next. Initially I intended to go to Barnes and Noble and buy a few of the manga, but I got impatient and decided to look it up online. To my utter joy I found it, and now I am on chapter 42, which I think is in the eighth volume. I still plan to by hard copies of it, because I know I will want to read it again someday.

The first anime I watched was Inuyasha, a first time watchers go to. I enjoyed it as well. But after watching Love Hena, I realized that I liked comedic based ones far more then the drama.

Now I am waiting for the missionaries to come and go, and maybe to watch some prime time television with my family. Just another day in my life.

M is for mornings, which I wish wouldn't come.

O is for over, which I wish it would be.

N is for never-ending, which is how it feels.

D is for daydream, which I know I will do.

A is for antsy, which I know that I am all day.

Y is for yawn, which happens several times.

Miss USA Pageant

As you can probably tell from the title, I, like many other Americans right now, am watching the Miss USA Pageant, I already know who wins, but its still fun to watch. And I am happy to announce my favorite wins, which is something that oddly happens a lot. I kind of love the concept of the Miss USA pageant, its a good idea. I think its a commendable thing to acknowledge these women for being poised, talented, and beautiful. So many people bash on this competition, and it makes me sad that people totally miss the point. I know I couldn't do what these women do, so I am amazed.

Today was a nice day. We had a BBQ for fathers day and my step brothers, who I rarely get to see, came over. We all ate a nice meal and laughed and joked. It made me happy.

Other then that I don't really have much to say.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

Confidence is the key.

Love yourself and be bolder,

And then everyone will see.

New Beginnings

Wow, new beginnings. . . That's a phrase I have seemed to use a lot today. I guess that is mostly what I am hoping for: a fresh start. This last year feels almost non-existent, like it did not happen. I know why it feels this way too. Honestly, what did I accomplish in this last year? I took unimportant classes, only a single college level course to be exact. Nothing rather impressive there.

I managed to spend a majority of my time by myself, with the exception of my family, and a pretty much weekly visit from Sierra. I most definitely have been a social recluse. Its not completely my fault, but I know I need to take some responsibility for my lack of a social life this past year. I thought graduating from high school was going to be a mind boggling thing.

I assumed that my life would take off, and I was disappointed to say the least when it didn't. But here I am, only days from turning nineteen. With this birthday I am ready to embark on a new journey in my life. By the end of this month I will have started in a new school, University of Phoenix online. But that is not the only change that's going to happen. I am also stepping foot into a new career path.

Do not think though that I haven't given much thought to my new major, because I have. To be honest, it is a career I have considered since I was in elementary school. Psychology is a great field, with so many options for me to choose from. At this moment in time I am leaning towards becoming a social worker, but who knows how I will feel in a year from now.

Something else is on the horizon for me as well, I don't know exactly what it is, but I can feel it. I am nervous and excited for what the future holds for me, but I am ready to embrace it like an old friend. So I will leave you with a little poem,

I see my path,

Now shrouded in mist,

And I walk into it blindly.

Although I do not know

Where this road will lead,

I hope it will treat me kindly.
