Already accomplishing lifetime goals . . .

Hey folks,

 I’m just as elated with my life as ever before , and I love to share the joy, in hopes of starting a happiness infection through the whole wide world 🌎! 😃

I’m still thinking about how awe-some my . . . Well, my everything is right now and the few things I can do to make it all even better.

I’m thinking, as the title of this post may lead you to believe, about all that I’ve accomplished in my life so far. 

I mean, if you would have told me (after I woke up from my coma) that I would be at this point in my life at this time of my life, I would have (along with many doctors and professionals) completely dismissed you as a fool. Sure, I’m over $49,000 in debt, but that’s just a bruise and bruises heal . . . Plus, they make someone’s muscles stronger. 💪🏼          And, anyway,  financial debt is temporary, being indebted to Him is forever.

The only thing that I could possibly do to make life better right now is secure a part time job until I start my full time job after college is over. That’s it! And i don’t know if that’s a good idea because I tend to stick with doing whatever I’m used to and I really don’t want to get used to something, then have to quit and get used to something else.

It’s just, unfortunately, right now (three family members’ Birthdays and Christmas) is when I really wish I had some extra money floating around.         🤔😜😂

But I told my family that I don’t really want presents (🎁) for Christmas (🎄) this year, I want to see them donating money to charities and other impactful things like that.

That’s a major part of my lifetime goals. I love to donate my time/money/energy into less fortunate beings (animals or people) and I just want to inspire that love in my family. 💋🌎💜

Along with any good that I, individually, can do. Of course that impact will keep growing larger and larger with every single action that I take, but I like to see that I’ve done good for another being, whether they realize it or not. In fact, I kind of prefer to not be realized as the one who has done a good deed. Anonymity is my goal. I’m just not very good at it yet. . . It’s a process. 😬

So, yes, I am continually accomplishing my lifetime goals, but they grow more and more numerous with every little goal I accomplish. I always want to do more. I will always want to do more. 

Quite recently, less than a month ago, in fact, I met someone with whom I deeply bonded  almost immediately after we had a brief conversation about our life goals and such. He and I are both kind of ‘free spirits’, but I think me less so. I believe that I am a bit more grounded because of the trauma that I faced six and a half years ago. I just feel that I am a bit more grounded in some ways , but still more of a ‘free spirit’ in others than before and I recognize the necessity of a full time job with exceptional benefits for the family that I hope to have someday. I hope and almost believe that this young man could help me to make that ‘hope’ come true. There are just three things holding me back from jumping into this relationship ‘heart first’.

The three things that make me so hesitant is the fact that this young man has not finished his college degree, but neither has my own father.  What also bothers me is  that he does not have his driver’s license yet because of a series of unfortunate events and circumstances in his past. 

The license can probably be changed or fixed in just a few months and the degree could easily be changed with some online courses and a year or two or three. The only other part of him that I know of so far which makes me hesitant is that he has no full time job at the moment, he is a waiter at one of a small chain of restaurants in his locale. I’m not really sure why he didn’t take up a full time job when he had the opportunity, or why he doesn’t look for one now, but it’s okay. I’m comfortable with being the main provider in a family or relationship. There’s also the part about him not believing in Christ, but I believe that God did not preserve my life for me to be idle. I feel that He wants my beliefs to be stretched out and deepened in doing so. I think having a nonreligious partner will make me grow and become more strong in my faith.

But, that is just one very small, yet somewhat important, aspect of my goals that I foresee myself accomplishing in the near-ish future. I am finishing college!!! I am (hopefully) getting a full time job at a bank!!! I am coming to a point where I almost feel comfortable saying I’m in a relationship!!! I am almost ready to start paying off my student loans!!! I am almost about to start saving up for my move to Europe!!! 

Yes, I’m still living at home (and saving $599 each month by doing so), but I am in a much better emotional and mental place in my life to honestly think about moving on from my parents’ house . . . . . for good. 🙃

Talk about accomplishing my goals fast! 

Needless to say, my friends, I am happy. 

Hey, what’s up?

Hello, dear readers,

Today, I’m just so happy that I don’t even know what to do with myself.

I am 23 and before this year of my life ends, I will have graduated with a bachelor of the arts degree in a foreign language, it’s custom, it’s cultural origins and it’s people, plus I have survived a nearly catastrophic brain injury and not only lived to tell the tale, but I intend to write a book about it for the whole world to see my journey, therefore experiencing it themselves. 

I am looking at beginning a full time job at a bank in my hometown immediately upon graduation to pay off my debts and perhaps save a bit to begin my worldwide real estate-rental business, owning apartment buildings and renting them out to people all around Europe and the Americas. ☺️

There is a very short list of things that aren’t so great in my life;

• I am broke and job-less 
• I am single 
• I am still in college

But, a few of (most) those things will hopefully change soon after I graduate from college IN A FEW WEEKS! 😲 

I’m expecting that the first and last thing of that short list will be different. I’m not in a rush to be in a relationship just yet. I have $40,009.67 of student loans that prohibit me from dragging someone else into my life right now. 

Well, I will still be a few thousand dollars in debt, but I will have a job and I will be well on my way to a better lifestyle than I have right now because I will have a full time job. 😊

At 25 years old, I will receive a small bit of money (less than $15,000) to pay my college debts with, but I most certainly need to find a job that I can have while I write my book . . . and what could be better then working at a bank? It’s a full time job, but there are not too many hours and I will always have Sunday off. 😘🙏🏼🙃

It really does not get much better than this. 😊 I am so unbelievably blessed, it’s hard for me to keep up with!

I have not exactly been promised a position at this bank, but I am still very hopeful that I can fill the open stall at the bank on December 17th. ☺️ I am only so hopeful because the young woman that serves as a placement supervisor for the bank said that she would see what she could do for me once my schedule clears up. 🤔🙏🏼😊

Aghhhhh! I’m just eager for my first step into adulthood. I really hope this bank thing works out. 😊

My life is perfect, except for the debt, my relationship status and where I’m at with my education. 😜 Haha. Most of it is  going to be better in a few weeks. 😉 I am healthy, I am happy, I am blessed.

After I’m done with school, I will be a FREE WOMAN! Out to conquer the world -one day at a time-. 💋🙏🏼👠💪🏼💃🏽

Marcelle . . . ‘mon amie’ featuring Lille, France

After requesting that my friend in Lille, France help me with my presentation, featuring her city, Lille France she provided me with a lot of useful information to base my presentation based from!
Sorry for the poor image.

“Ok so for fun activities in Lille;

“There is a market every Sunday in the Vieux Lille and Wazemmes, people of all walks of life come there are you can buy a nice roasted chicken. The products are all regional and artisanal and people are proud to support local farmers.”

“There is the zoo, which is free, a big difference compared to other cities. As soon as we have a little bit of sun, we go out to the Citadelle which is a gem of biodiversity and architecture in the middle of the city.”

“We have the Gare Saint Sauveur that has free expositions of art and culture, you can also attend concerts there.”

“We have a really good concert hall, called Grand Mix in Tourcoing. It is special because even though it is really small, cool bands come through there! That’s because Lille is on the road between London, Paris and Brussels.”

“For eating, there are many, many restaurants and there is an old street in Vieux Lille called Rue de Gand. This is an entire street of restaurants and bars, most of which are quite good!”

“Every year we have the Braderie de Lille, the biggest flea market in Europe. 2 million converge on the city, which is entirely closed to cars for the weekend. A smaller festival is Festival de la Louche d’or, which is a big soup competition. It is free for the public to taste all the soups!”

 

Marcelle also provided her personal favorite aspects of Lille:

“I love that festival because everybody comes and has fun and unwinds.”

“What I love about Lille, is that even if it is a small city, there is always something to do, somewhere to go, somebody to meet. People are warm and welcoming, a typical trait of the Nord Pas de Calais region. Everybody I know who has come to live here has made many friends and we love to help each other out, there is a lot of solidarity in the city.”

“Life is also quite affordable in Lille compared to other cities. There are also few big buildings, the city center is mostly old houses with some interesting architecture. We build our homes and shops and offices into these old buildings.”

After mentioning my desire to one day move to Lille, the city that captured my heart, Marcelle said “They are always looking for English speakers here!”, encouraging my hope of one day moving to France.

 

The rest of my summer

Hey folks!

It’s the 5th of July and I’m still a bit confused as to how I’m going to spend the rest of my summer. I got back from a month in France about two weeks ago (I feel so classy, saying that, but I’m really just in bigger debt now) and my parents have given me good reason not to work for the rest of the summer. But, I intend to volunteer somewhere in or near my hometown for the rest of the summer.

The ideal spot for me to volunteer is a library near my town, the library in my town (my preference) or maybe a garden near my town.

Unfortunately, the library is overstaffed and I would not be able to volunteer there until this (fall) semester during my last semester of undergraduate courses. Now, because my life goal is to become a librarian, I feel that it is well worth it for me to volunteer at the library in the fall semester. However, after I complete that semester, I will probably be working full time somewhere that I can find benefits along with a full-time income.

Of course, it’s ideal for me to work IN my town, so that I can take my siblings to school, but I’m not sure how attainable that goal is. There are several places looking for full time employees in my hometown, so I might find luck with one of them, but I’m still unsure of that. So, I’m looking into joining up with Americorps. for the first year after I graduate from college. 🙃 Americorps. is a full time government job (benefits, and all!) so I’m pretty excited about that possibility.

In fact, it’s probably going to happen. I have an interview with my local Americorps. representative on Thursday afternoon to discuss more about me and why I belong in Americorps. ☺️

I’m pretty stoked! This is a government job, . . . minimal pay, but still. ! ! It’s a great way to possibly get involved in Nonprofit organizations in my future!

. 😃 I could give books away to less fortunate children and adults! 😃

I still want to end up as a librarian somewhere in Ireland, but this is a fantastic start to my getting there! 🙃

Just think . . . I spend 3 or 4 years expanding my network (volunteering/nonprofit work) in the states, I’ll make some money, make some friends in Ireland during my demi-annual (semi? every other/once every 2 years is what I mean) summer trip there and I’ll be off to Ireland before I know it! All I need to do is follow through with my crazy unrealistic and idealistic dreams! I just have to believe in myself all the way through the Atlantic Ocean to Ireland and . . . bam! . . . Dreams realized. 😘🇨🇮💜

All that I need to do is finish strong and work really hard with Americorps. after college to set myself up for librarianship in Ireland.    📚☘💋

Hah . . . I make it sound like it’s going to be super easy for me to do, but in reality, I am going to struggle through my last semester of college and I’m going to have to rapidly change my lifestyle after college in order to fit into America’s workforce. But, I can promise that all of this hard work during college is going to be so well worth it once I get into the professional world and start preparing to move to Ireland.

Once I get to Ireland, I promise, every single experience that I’ve had in my life will suddenly come full circle to be entirely worth it (if not essential) for me to have had. As I finish up paying off debts and preparing to move to Ireland, I am going to publish my book about recovering from Traumatic to Catastrophic Brain Injury and I will be working full time at a library near to where my parents live in order to cut living expenses. But, once I’ve paid off college debt and gathered enough for permanent residence in Ireland, I am definitely living there!

I’m not moving to Ireland to escape anything in the United States, I just belong there. That’s what my heart told me when I traveled there eight years ago with People to People, a recently disbanded student ambassador organization commenced by Dwight D Eisenhower a few decades ago. My friend could attest to the fact that I was glowing with joy and pure content when I was there before. He remembers it well. ☺️

I repeat. I am not escaping anything in the US, I am just following my calling. I belong in Ireland. I can not explain it, I could not tell you how I know, or why I belong there. But, that is where I belong.

The more I talk about it, (type it) the more I feel the truth in my heart. Ireland is my home, even though I met not have a home there yet. Ireland is my home.

With all of that, I’m going outside to help my Dad in the yard. I will hopefully be back sometime this summer! 😘😘

All of my love,

Alexandra Mae 💜

As the world goes ’round . . .

Hello, my lovely readers,

My love comes to you from the same computer, but an entirely different place today.

I am in Lille, France, about two hours from Brussels, Belgium and eight hours from Berlin, Germany. I am making friends with locals and I’m trying to set myself up for a possible career here in the future. I would absolutely ADORE it if I could find someone who is willing to move with me to Lille France. Like, for good. I love this small city so much and I’ve only been here for a little more than a week!! The locals are so incredibly nice, I can’t imagine being in a very dangerous situation (publicly harmed) in Lille, because I’m more than sure that someone would help me if I made noise. It’s incredibly safe (for example, as I was checking out at a Monoprix [small grocery store] the woman in front of me realized that she forgot something on the other side of the store when we were about six people back from the front of the line, and she dropped her purse and items to go get it without making sure anyone would watch over her things) and I absolutely ADORE how easily accessible everything is!!

I could get comfortable here really fast. All I would need is a job and a decent place to stay. From a recent search online, it appears that I can find a 2 bedroom apartment for less than € 600 a month in the city!! 😀 I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! ❤

I am definitely moving here at some point in the future. . Definitely. I miss my family, and I will miss them even more once I move over here, but I absolutely love this city!

I came here very cautious of the fact that I would not be used to it for about a week or so, then I’d love it, then I’d hate it. But, I honestly feel that there is nothing that could possibly make me not like this incredible city! I belong here. absoluement. This place is where I should be for my adult life. Yes, I will miss my family more than words could possibly say, but I am certain that this city is where my heart and soul belongs.

Plus, me living here will be great for my family . . . in way. It will give them a great excuse to travel MUCH more often, even to France [pour moi! 🙂 ]. 🙂 I am so curious as to what kind of jobs I could get around here.

I will have to ask my local friend about that tomorrow at brunch/ while touring the beautiful locale of this incredible city! . . . It never gets old to me how lovely this place is!! While it may seem like an incredibly long way away, I should only take a year or two to finish my degree and pay off a little debt. Just a few months to go. 🙂

Ideally, I will be able to communicate about a million times better by the end of this trip, but that’s very unlikely. So, I’ll just have to make some friends and improve my communication abilities once I get home, while working on my degree and paying off debt. Then I can move over here and set my life up. 🙂

I’m getting tired, it IS almost 22;00 (10 pm) here in Lille, France.

So, with that babble about how much I love Lille, I leave you . . .

Jusqu’à la prochaine temps! :*

Love

Hello beloved readers,

Today I’m in Lille France and I just got back from spending a few hours at a local museum with some famous paintings. I’m exhausted from walking so much, but I’ve been hanging out in the community room (for wifi purposes only). But, I sincerely hope to change that tomorrow morning or afternoon. . . . Whenever I can get to it.

I truly want to be sleeping . . . all the time this month. Why don’t I get to hibernate? Ugh. 😜 

Haha. I’m such a college student. 😏

I am definitely ready to be done next winter. I really can’t wait to be finished with college and searching for or doing a job that I love. 😊😘

I’m just going to struggle finding something that I really excellent at because I’m not really GREAT at anything in particular. I’m just good at a decent number of various things. Maybe I should try to make a living by traveling and writing about it. But, I would need a side job, or two to make sure the cash flow was relatively steady.

Oh my! My dreams are too big for this little thing called reality. 😂

It’s unfortunate that I was so well studied before college because now I know of so many thoughts things and I have an extremely hard time finding one thing to be passionate about. I love serving others. I love feeding others. I love loving others. I love caring for others. I love meeting other people around the world. I love.

If you’re reading this right now, and a job is popping into your head for me, I encourage you (BEG YOU!) to message me and tell me what it is!!

Seriously people!! I don’t know where I want to be, or what I want to do with my life! 🌍 💜💜💜💜 help?! 

I’ve been so busy trying to get settled into my residence at Lille that I haven’t had much time for blogging, or writing in my journal. 

With the wifi that I REALLY hope to get tomorrow, I hope to radically change that. I haven’t been myself for the last week, and I couldn’t figure out why until I picked up my journal earlier, but I noticed how much better I felt after writing for about ten minutes. After writing some of this blog, I feel fan-freaking-tastic! So I’m more determined than ever to make this work for me! ☺️

I feel kinda like it’ll be a little difficult to buy a router with a big enough for the whole building. I just want to be a provider of Internet for all of my friends and fellow Catho-Summer-2016 students. 

I just realized that I can write on WordPress and it’ll save for me without a wifi connection. 

WORDPRESS IS THE BEST!! 😘💜

I’m laying here in bed, typing this post with one finger while my music plays in the background. 😜 Haha.  I should probably go downstairs and get some wifi on my computer so that I don’t make my finger sore. 😏 Haha. I’m hungry, I think I’ll grab a banana. 🙃 

The banana was joined by a croissant [krwa-sont] and some sweet wine (because I’m in France, so why not?! ).   😘🍷🍞🍌💜 

Haha! I LOVE being able to buy my own alcohol! It’s so much easier than when I wasn’t old enough! 😘🍷💜💋 

Plus, being in a city and literally 10-20 meters from a European grocery store with beer and wine makes it take me only about 15 minutes to go pick out some raspberry (favorite flavor) wine. ☺️

I love my family and friends more than words can describe, but I sincerely can not wait until I’m living on my own, trying to keep my life together all by myself!! 😘

Oh my gooodness, this is fun!

Ohhhh, my dear readers. . . . I am free. No obligations until I leave for Europe!

*in my head that means I’ll do yoga like 13 hours of each day. That’s all but four hours that I am generally awake for in any given day.

You see, every single night is a Friday night for me until I go to visit my friends in England. Then it’s a Friday night for about ten days, then every night will be like a Sunday or Monday night because I’ll have class about six days a week.

Haha. Wow, this summer is going to be the best summer that I’ve had in a very, very, very long time . . . I’m looking at working at a café in my college town, or hometown, or near-ish to my home on weekdays and possibly working at a travel agency on weekends, depending on how life works out . .  . . . .  . . I’m going to visit old friends, I’m going to expand my little knowledge of one of the most beautiful languages I’ve ever heard,  and I am going to be saving SOOOOOO much money by living with my folks. ;P
I really don’t like to call my parents that, it makes me feel like I am old and like I’m calling them old . . .

Today was my first ‘free’ day after my semester because I was busy with a final exam/essay and french redactions (essays) yesterday. So, today I went into town and I printed my résumé and handed it to the coffee shop that I really, really, really want to work at after my trip this summer and on my days off from class next semester and after I graduate from college in December (maybe/possibly/hopefully), but that’s getting WAY ahead of myself. I’m going to be extremely blessed to get tomorrow, next week, my trip to Europe, or next month let alone the next phase of my life after college. So many things could go wrong between now and when I leave for Europe. I should try to set up plans, as I have, and just pray that I’m able to continue on to fulfill and ‘seize’ them! #carpédiem

As I wrote in my About Me (Sur Moi), my family motto is “to live is to conquer” and I should really stop taking it for granted that I have been saved by Christ to live this beautifully complicated life that I have. I have lived, despite all reasoning, and I have conquered by doing so. Now, I don’t know what is next for me, but God always puts His chosen ones through struggle as He did with Jacob,  Ruth, Saul, David, Job, Judas and Peter. All of those notoriously strong and devout people of God (hosen by Him) suffered immensely in literal, physical and/or emotional pain.

While, yes it may be argued that I have struggled enough for one person, none of those people only had one experience of struggle, especially as short of a struggle as mine was. I only truly struggled physically/mentally/socially and emotionally for about three years. Some of His people suffered for several decades. What makes me exempt from the suffering of His trials? I do not intend to say that I am (or that I probably ever will be) as good and or  holy as any of the aforementioned Divinely chosen people, I just acknowledge that God wants to use me for something. I don’t know what it is, but I don’t think He is going to let me get too old (forgetful) before I do whatever it is that He wants done.

I have a feeling that He wants to use me as an example to future Traumatic Injury Victims and their families, .  .and there’s something else, . . . . . . . but I honestly have no clue what it is. I am so incredibly happy to meet other survivors of Traumatic Injuries and I absolutely loveeee connecting my family with theirs, and talking to their family members about how I felt in certain situations or phases of recovery to help their loved ones understand the situation from a Traumatic Injury survivor’s perspective. So, that’s probably definitely part of my calling. Honestly, I will be okay with not knowing the other part of my purpose, or even if there is another part to my purpose.

I sincerely don’t mean to be obnoxious here, but I have always felt that I was special in some way (not the mentally challenged way) because of how easily I can connect with absolutely anyone . . of any age. At current, my biggest struggle in many scenarios is language and the inability to comprehend and or respond to languages that I am unfamiliar with. . . . Haha, I also have a hard time with some people that are extremely shy. Because of my extremely extroverted personality some people immediately write me off as one of those rude snobby girls that doesn’t actually care, she just pretends to care. . . Once I can convince them of my genuine care, I don’t really have such a hard time. But, there are a few people, now and then, who don’t get that I genuinely care and they generally don’t want to hear it anyway, which makes me very sad. But, as my Momma always told me . . “You can’t be EVERYONE’S  friend all the time.” I learned that not all people want me to be their friend. 😥

As the French say “C’est la vie.” (“Such is life”) and I’ve learned to move on.

But, most people don’t mind me wanting to be their friend, or even reciprocate that desire entirely!

Oh, I love people! I love them as a whole. I love them individually! I love the gifts each one of us has been granted and I love it when people know their gift and aren’t afraid to share it with the world. ❤ I love it when people give themselves time to discover their personal gift(s) and learn how to properly share with others. Those people are the best leaders. The world needs more of those people.

Well, that’s enough rambling for me tonight, loves.

Jusqu’à la prochaine fois!

De tout mon Cœur! :*

Ce soir, je vais a une faculté tenue étudiant diner et je fis le cookies! J’aime la nourriture et j’aime la cuisson.

La traduction: (The translation:)

Hello, my loves! I can’t think of the best way to say how crazy my life is right now. I’m constantly moving and trying to make sure that I have a good future. It’s very tiring, I’m very tired.

BUT!! I will be done with school in a year! Right now in school I’m learning present participle. We learned about past participle and different forms of plus que parfait and inversion from negative or positive sentences. It’s very difficult and I’m not sure how I will do on the test next week.

AND!! My friend from a long time ago might come to France with me this summer! Oh! The possibilities for me this summer are endless.

Tonight, I’m going to a faculty-held student-dinner and I made cookies! I love to cook and bake! I also love to clean. I would have been a good housewife / stay at home Mom.  Oh well, my future will be better because of my degree and  my love of knowledge.

So, I’m tired from thinking in French now, I’ll go now.

All of my love!

Bonjour, tout le monde! ❤

J’aime français! ❤

I wish that I could write a whole post in another language. . . Maybe next year.  I’m not quite that skilled in the French Language.  Until then, I’ll just keep practicing my French, and attempting to improve my literacy. That’s a long stressful road. But, I am more than willing to take on that challenge. In fact, I would love to learn Arabic and German, Greek, Portuguese, among a number of other languages. The best way to learn a language, they say, is to be in the culture of said language, so I must do a lot of traveling to learn all of these wonderful languages. ❤

I am a traveler at heart. I am a lost soul, searching for the perfect spot to spend my life. I just hope that when my ‘friend’ finally decides to become more that my friend, that he will be able to hold me down (to one geographical location) somewhere in Europe, or on the coastline. ❤

Oh, how I love the beach! ❤

Today is a Thursday, so I attended three classes today. I had an early morning class (9 am) then at 11:30, my ‘friend’ and I had lunch, then he came with me to my class, where we sat and he tickled me until other students started coming in and he had to leave. The other students then gave me the Spanish inquisition’s worth of questions about my relationship with him.  :p

Well, I care for him, and I believe that he cares for me. I just don’t know if he realizes that just yet. . . . I’m still working on it with him. :p

His room mates love me. I think that his parents like me and I am fairly certain that my parents like him enough. I know that my Dad likes him.  A lot. I think my cousins will like him. He is a very smart young man, and he’s common-sense-wise enough to keep me happy. 🙂
I don’t feel like I’m compromising with him, I just think he doesn’t realize how wonderful our relationship has the potential to be. . . As I’ve said, I’m still working on him. 😉

After that, for my ‘Rhetoric of Professional Writing’ class, we waited for 15 minutes for the supposed substitute professor to come in. . . .Which never happened, so we all left.

Yep, call us irresponsible. Call us bad students. I’m sorry Dr. M. There was nothing for us to do, really. We all know where the class is headed, however ambiguous the syllabus is. :p

So, we all went our separate ways.

Me? I went to go longue in the building I generally have to rush to right after that class. I mentally prepared myself for Biology. It must have worked because I came home and took the quiz to receive a %100!! 😀

YAY ME!!  😀 ❤

This semester has some good people in it. ❤

I have met so many people this semester that I think will end up helping me in some way in my career in the not-so-distant future. ❤

As it is a Thursday, today usually would be a day that I spend at meetings until 8:30, but my first meeting is not technically mandatory (as I am only a writer, not an editor), so I did not attend.  The second meeting is Gospel Choir, which I had planned to attend for some video for my class project. But it was cancelled. So, I could not acquire the video anyway.

Hmm. I do not have any idea why the rehearsal was cancelled. I’ll just have to wait until next week to get some footage. :p

Bah, humbug. Oh well. Life goes on, I suppose.

Is it problematic that it’s not even 7 pm here in this time zone, and I am absolutely exhausted?

Hmm, I don’t know what to do about that. :p

I only have one class tomorrow, it’s at 2:00 pm, and I’m actually kinda hoping that it gets cancelled due to the crazy snowstorm that is supposedly going to hit my part of the world in a few hours. :p

The question is: “Should I go to sleep now, and worry about the consequences later [whenever I wake up] , or should I force my body to remain awake for three more hours?

I think that I’m going to sleep now, and deal with reprimands of that later.

Jusqu’à prochaine temps.
