Apathy: The New Stress

Well, I am smack in the middle of finals week. Which is why I am not studying, but choosing to write a few words that will do little for helping me remember Sociological theory or Piaget's theory of child development. Not to mention the fact that I cannot copy & paste these words and include them in the 12 page paper looming over my head. All the same, here I am :-)

I have two more finals tomorrow and that paper due via email by midnight on Saturday. I am so close to enjoying a 4 month summer, and yet so far from feeling like my studying is over! As I discussed with my dad last night, I am not stressed. Stress would involve a pinch of caring about school work, and the horrible truth is: I don't! Apathy is the new stress, at least in my world...

The things that keep me going this week:
1) MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD IS COMING TO CALIFORNIA AT THE END OF THE WEEK!!!!
2) Staff party tomorrow night
3) Dinner with my wonderful parents Thursday night, and possibly a night of mischief with Brenna later on...
4) Attending APU's graduation, and a graduation party, both of which I bought a slammin' new dress for
5) Brenna's 21st birthday. Uh oh is right :-)
6) A secret someone, that keeps getting into my head


I love reading lyrics to songs as the music plays in the background. I always wonder what prompted the writer to choose that word or that phrase. Here is part of a song from Anna Nalick called "In the Rough." I love these lyrics:

“You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands. ‘It's your fault for running, holding diamonds,’ I said. And I offer no sympathy for that, I hear that it was you who died alone. And I offer no sympathy for that. Better off I sparkle on my own.”

She goes on to say that love will find her... I relate to these words so deeply, as even I find myself between love. Maybe something new is brewing, and then again, maybe I just need to wait. Whatever the case is, I know I'll find what I am looking for.

Take care of yourselves, friends.
