Me again. I know it's been a while, but everyone else is doin it, and not all peer pressure is bad.
So, classes have started up, and already I can't wait for this semester to end. I am taking a 5 1/2 week accounting course that is really going to kick my ass. Everything goes so quickly. Next tuesday I already have a midterm in that class. It's crazy. RIT is very different to me and frustrating. It's frustrating because it's different. I am not a big fan of change, and I get overwhelmed when I can't figure things out quickly. The thing about RIT is that once you figure it out, you don't need it anymore, because the trimester system makes everything move so quickly. I guess it is a lot like life. Just when you think you have everything figured out, a new challenge comes along for you to conquer. I guess what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.

Shawn's brother David called us tonight and told us that the baby they are expecting is going to be a boy. They are really excited about that. They really wanted a boy. Makes me anxious to reach that point in my life. NOT that I want a baby right now, but when the time does come it will be very exciting.

Expanding on Tara's blog, I have to say that the 9/11 coverage definately sparked some emotions in me too. I was watching specials on the families that were left behind, and I just couldn't bear it. It was too heart wrenching to experience all over again. Very emotional. It reminded me of Uncle Tim as well. I think about him every day. And, when something challenging stands looking me in the eye, I always stop and think about what Uncle Tim would say to encourage me, or how he would handle the situation himself. My public speaking has improved tremendously thanks to him. I am sure that he stood behind me on the day that we gave our speech at his funeral, and I know that if I can do that, I can do anything. I used to fear speaking in public, and as a business major, that is a huge requirement. That is just one trivial thing that he taught me out of many greater lessons. Life is not lived unless it is lived with all of your heart and soul. Dare. Dream. Discover. That is what life is all about.
