IT IS WHAT IT IS

It's come to my realization that I gotta stop moping around and get out of this slump that I am currently in. I've been no bueno these past couple days cuz of some personal shit.

& I know that I may just be saying this cuz I got a lot on my mind, but the real point is that life doesn't stop for ANYBODY, no matter how tragic things may get. In my situation, it got to the point where I wasn't going to class, wasn't doing my work, wasn't answering calls. But that's not the me that I love. You know? I just gotta keep workin the me that stays on her griind, and the me that keeps doing what she loves. And that's real shit (tho).

There's still no doubts as to how I'm feeling, and nothing can change that until I'm ready. But on the realest level I can't let that be at the center of my actions. I just gotta take the good in with the bad and hope (& know) that there will be better days.

Aaaaand as a result of that slump, I am now stuck writing my entire 5-page paper in one less-than-24-hour sitting. This is what I get. Haha. Self-punishment. My bad tho -_-. Soo I think I've learned my lesson, or at least have felt the repercussions of my actions/behavior/reactions. I cannot keep doing this to myself. I really gotta stay on my griind..


On a separate note, I was on Google in class (haha) and stumbled upon a "1001 List of Books to Read Before You Die" .. And I was going to adopt this as a personal thing to do.. I went through the list and saw that I've read like 20 or so of those books. But I decided against taking this list on as a personal goal because there is too great an emphasis on modern (late 1900s-2000s) books rather than an emphasis on the classics. Because there are sooo many classics that I would love to read! Don't get me wrong, there are a handful of modern books I love too, but I think I will start compiling my own list of books to read before I die (:

& on that note, any suggestions? Cuz I gotta get back in the reading game soooon. Almost forgot how much I love it..


Anyway. Back to writing this stupid paper. Haha. Just kidding. It's actually really not stupid. It's a really interesting topic about the modes of interpreting the Constitution (primarily Supreme Court Justices Scalia and Brennan). It's been a blast so far and I think I only have four more pages to go (haha).

LAAATE.
