it's been awhile since i posted, so i figured i better update my blog!

now that it's a new year i figured i would try to make healthier choices in my life. although i am still incredibly stressed, i am trying my best to relax and make time for myself. in addition, i am trying to eat healthier and make smarter decisions about what i eat. i found out recently that i'm allergic to wheat, so i am making an effort to reduce the amount of wheat items i consume.

however, my classes are fairly stressful, and i find myself preoccupied at night while i'm trying to fall asleep, and all i can think about is the amount of work i need to complete

my math and urban sociology classes are definitely going to be my toughest classes, and per usual i feel as though i am going to do poorly in them. i just need to keep telling myself that i've had plenty of tough classes, with buddhism probably being my most trying class, and the lowest grade i've ever received was an A-
i know i'm being irrational, but i can't help constantly doubting my abilities. i feel like i'm afraid to try new things, but it's those things that help make me a more well-rounded person

i thought buddhism was going to be fun, but it ended up being really tough, and i was able to get an A-, a grade i wasn't necessarily happy with, but i was able to at least become a better writer in the process

as time goes on, however, i find myself missing my dad more and more. i guess i just took advantage of the time he was here, and never really appreciated what he did for us. for example, he would always plan these cool family vacations, that were really memorable, and i didn't realize how much planning and time this planning took, and i just really appreciate everything he did for me to become the person i am today
