desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

*sigh* This week must have been the MOST hectic week in my entire life! I know I had been posting entries about how hectic my day/week was... and well...this is really the busiest week! I really do not know how i was able to handle all of these. All the things that have been happening. All the homeworks, quizzes, tests, and projects. They are just too much...they are actually getting overboard already,the teachers I mean. They're starting to bombard us with a lot of things to do! I dont know if I can still handle this kind of pressure...the headache that they are giving me.

I havent even had a decent sleep throughout the week! For almost everyday I slept at 12:30 thus giving me a terrible headache at school and at home. We had 4 UT1s this week and...1 major project. And I had to endure that headache while studying and making that project. And today...I just want to lie down on my bed and drift towards dreamland...where everything is just...so unrealistic.

I know I shouldnt be here typing an entry for this journal. I just cant help it. I need to release this. I know I should be studying for AP; memorizing prayers and the map of asia. And this calvary of mine doesnt just ends here...tomorrow. We still have to do many projects!! And they are so ...draining.

Oh please pray for me...for us. I dont know if i can remember all the things about colonization and stuff! Im studying with a tired brain!!

Its just too much for our tired minds...Why cant they just be considerate about our well-being? Theyre treating us as if were college students! And Ive heard that college is way easier than highschool in Assumption!

Oh God...
