Bearing the cost

I wish she would grow up. She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can. - Lewis, "The Last Battle" - about Susan and how silly she is being, saying that Narnia is for children

Life, the Universe, and Everything

You know how one sadness or frustration can completely color a whole day, sometimes even a whole week? I don't think that one joy has ever done that for me before. Maybe I'm too used to being sad or frustrated that I can stay in that groove; I'm out of practice for joy. Or peace. Well, maybe for fruit in general.

But, that aside, graduation is next week. Wow, that seems so huge to me. I'm in the inbetween now - no more classes, only three finals and a paper. I'm so excited, but at the same time very anxious and sad. I've been dealing with anxiety really poorly this semester, and especially in the past couple of weeks as I have discovered that I am bad with money. Money and parents, parents and money. Both great things that seem impossible for me to figure out. Oh well.

Good luck to finals takers!

    Hey Annie. I understand what you have to say about sadness, joy and fruit. But sadness isn't always bad.

    I'm sad about this year ending, and I've only been here one year! I don't want to leave the community here. I know returning home will include some inevitable conflict with both my family and some friends.

    Regarding money, my father has been trying to talk to me about investing for some time now. I've tended to push aside such discussions, but now I'm starting to realize they probably have some value. If you like, I could pass some information on to you later in the summer.

    Dearest Annie! Future roomate, I too am horrible with money. We will help each other next year to not be horrible with money. Though, for me it will be easy, because I will not have any... :)
