inside the residence hall, i sat down and blogged

i began reading paolo coehlo's by the river piedra, i sat down and wept. the first few pages were kinda awkward since i have this strange feeling that i shouldn't be reading anything that has to do with romance for the time being. moreover, the book i'm reading is highlighted, so it's hard to miss the "important lines"

Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment helps us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments [m dash] but all of this is transitory; it leaves no permanent mark. ANd one day we will look back with ptide and faith at the journey we have taken.

- Paulo Coehlo, By the River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept


today fate finally took a turn for the better and gave my sister a dormitory. sure, it involved little help from me, but i can still be proud of myself for actually being the right person at the right time to make some difference. (much about every good thing i do in life involves no planning). she will be under close observation, but after she gets in, her staying should not be any of my concern anymore. my deal with my parents was simply to TRY to get her in a dorm. now that i have done something, i should care less, right?

public apology:
i'm sorry for being a jerk. hope to be friends again sometime soon.
