SORROW

As I think of all the time and years invested into this college, I think of how sad all must be. When I think of the obstacles and triumphs, I think of how sad all must be. When I imagine the tears and the smiles locked up in people's memories, I think of how sad all must be. When I think of the sign off the 405 freeway and the day it is taken down, I think of how sad all must be. I picture the hope given to so many, the joy so many shared, the exchange of hoplesness for a promising future, I think of how sad all must be. I look at the faces of those finishing and those beginning and I see how sad all must be. Brooks may be gone, but not forgotten. I refuse to bury who I've become or what I have discovered about myself because of a business decision that was made. This decision cannot dictate who I am, or for that matter what I am to become!! To all of those who have invested time and effort into my life, who have taken the time to inspire and influence, for all of those who have taken a moment from their personal time to make sure that I am on the right track, I not only thank you, but I refuse to be meteocre or stay as I am today. I will triumph and sacrifice just as they have, and although Brooks will physically no longer exist, it will always stay alive in me and through me!!

I Didn't Finish Yet!!!

The pressures of homework are worse than the pressures of having a family! I can't stand knowing that I haven't finished it yet and I have a whole day of real life ahead of me! Staying up late and burning the midnight oil is a dread, I look way too far ahead and generally incorporate obstacles into my to-do-list, "just in case". That alone is stress and there are so many times that I wonder what the heck I'm doing adding to my multy faceted life, my colorful world of stress, my hectic, chaotic life!! I imagine that within these next 9 weeks I will disover where it is I am to go from here. I endure, afterall at this point it is sink or swim, I CHOOSE to swim, the finish line is a blink away. Until next time blog world, keep your dreams in sight and press on 'til you get there.

I LOVED IT!!

I watched "Hairspray" today. On my trip to New York in March I saw it on Broadway, I thought that it had so much energy because it was live, you know, Broadway. Not a chance, the movie had just as much energy and inspiration. The costumes and color scheme was so amazing. It took place in 1962 and some of the pieces used back then, I have recently scene in collections for this fall. I can't wait to wear those dresses!
