Analogy of early hand over to Iraq made by my government teacher:

"Surprise! Here's the key to the brand new car but you can't drive it...or you can drive around the block but you can't go anywhere else...or think of it as a learner's permit!"

The Monroe Doctrine explained by my government teacher:

"This is our pie, you have your pie. We won't take a piece of your pie and you can't take a piece of ours. If you try to take a piece of our pie, we will slap."

"If a man is happy in his work, exerting himself to the full extent of his capabilities, and enjoying it, I'd say he's a success."

-William Romain

The definition of success is misinterpreted by many.

"Success is determined by how determined you are to succeed."

-Geofrey R. Lorenz

Another definition of success, which I've come to thnk is my favorite word. :0

I'm so excited about this weekend. I just want to see, touch, and yeah yeah taste the happiness. Just four more days. I don't think I could be anymore excited. Maybe I'll just see about tomorrow haha...

I love being a woman. It's just so chic!

You know it always takes someone else's troubles to make you realize how good you have it. I'm grateful for God's love.

Hahaha... don't you wish you had the guts to say that? I wish I could say something like that AND back it up. I love people sometimes.

I love it at Halliburton... the people are so nice, the atmosphere is so friendly. Oh so small and cozy!!

There's something about getting things accomplished that puts a little pep in my step,

a smirk on my face,

and some milk in my shake :)

"I'm not confused. I'm just well Mixed."

-Robert Frost

I feel so motivated, I feel like... myself. What is the meaning of this?

I'm tired...

I was leaving class and I saw the most wonderful thing!!
A rainbow!! It really made my day. It's been so long since I've seen one. It was so beautiful.

I just stood their and watched in the sprinkles of the rain... *sigh*

I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

Cohort 2!!! You guys were so great!!! :-}

This past week has been so crazy. I've met so many people who made me happy to be me. I love me. I also love cohort 2!!! Yaayyy Second place in the marketing competition. I really missed Austin and I think Austin missed me. I could tell. So much love in one week. I really needed that. It was soooo good to see Jen, Alex, and Rose. I've made alot of crazy decisions but being in Austin, I realized that they were all the right ones. What a way to go Alexis!!!

The bootylicious award??? Guys I really do love you, but it's not that big.

The last night...aww I missed Adam. Adam you were my ace...even though you called me a buick. And Quincy thank you for explaining to me why you think everyone always talk about my butt. Kelly you were right and all that matters is that you got it done and it was fantastic!!! Go Kelly! Phil was the best, I hope I didn't ruin your life, lol. Whitney, Alex, Charlie, Sophie, Claudia, Tara, and April... I've got so much love for you guys!

I still love you, I'm just tired. So I'll wait instead...

Some people take on the wrong roles. Some people cannot be the head of big projects.
Sometimes you just can't win. But that's life. Life sucks sometimes...but then there are the beautiful things.

I love the beautiful things.

Good Communication is as stimulating as black coffee,
and just as hard to sleep after.

I used to know exactly what I wanted.

Who I wanted, what I wanted...
I knew what I wanted.

I knew where I wanted to go.
What's next? I knew.

Now I don't.
I feel lost.
I reach out for some kind of help, cause now it's like I finally need it...but then I come up empty. And it amazes me, even astounds me. Then it makes me angry. What are friends for anyway. What the hell is going on. But then...

I feel sad. Cause I'm right back not knowing.
