こんにちは～

今日、朝寝坊しました。。。
Today I overslept.

Over the weekend I didn't get much sleep and was up late. Last night I was on the phone a little late too so I thought that maybe I would have problems waking up.

じつは、目覚まし時計を聞こえませんでした。
In fact I didn't even hear my alarm clock go off.

The weekend went pretty well. On Friday I just sat up and talked with my friends for a couple hours. Saturday morning I went to the gym and later hung out with a couple friends.

We went to Applebees and then to a place to shoot some pool across the street. It was surprisingly fun! Although, I am really terrible at pool...

Sunday I hung out with my friend Wrenn and we went to the mall for a little then had some ice cream. When we got back to campus we both studied for a little while.

Usually my weekends are far from that busy...I almost always am hanging around the dorm with nothing much to do (which is fine with me too!)

I have been pretty thoughtful lately though...about the future, about my family, friends and boyfriend. I always worry about my mom and sister back home. It's hard, sometimes, being away from them and not knowing how things are going.

It just worries me...

As far as my boyfriend goes, I worry for him because he has so much he needs to do but is really at a disadvantage.

It sucks hearing about it and makes me wish I could wave a magic wand to take everyone's problems away.

I know that adversities result in growth but how long must someone suffer challenges before they see results?

Hm, I can't help but feel like I am a small part of the problem. If he wasn't using money to see me or time to see me then maybe he could use it in better ways to move forward.

Just my thoughts, just wish things were moving along better for him and my sister too.

So much of what feels so real, so difficult, so unpleasant, so amazing, so important is only a small percentage of our life in the long run. But, it's hard sometimes to see past the petty stuff now into the bigger picture.
