"Not looking back, not forgetting where I've been..." - Jason Aldean

But what a feeling chasing the sun, living my life like it shot from a gun, laughing a little bit more with every mile.  Oh what a freedom racing the wind, dying to know what's around the next bend, smiling as I watch the years roll by.  I'm learning how to take it day by day on my highway.
Those lyrics speak some truth.  I spend a second too much fretting the smaller things in life and not enjoying the drive.  I've made my mistakes and will make many more, but I'm done looking back.  Though I won't forget where I've been, I'm never going back.  I've learned my lessons.

Today was a not so good day at first.  The usual people problems and awkward situations, but once I left the area and started getting stuff done that I needed to, it got better.  I took many deep breaths of semi-fresh air and got on with my life.  I'm not one to repay bad slash stupid with more bad slash stupid, but I can.  This girl is real.  I'm standing up for myself nowadays.  I've got a list of things to do and a time frame to do it all; don't get in my way.  Now, I don't mean for that to sound negative; it's just a fact.  I know what I need to do to take care of myself, and I do not appreciate people trying to mess with me... not cool.  And if someone does try to pull one over on me and lie about it, oh, that's really bad news for them.  Two can play those games, sugadoll.  But anyways, so after the dipwads were taken care of, I went to class and taught a lesson.  However, there were a few peers who didn't want to do my lesson.  Tough poop!  It's my lesson and you need to do it.  I did yours just fine.  Give me some respect here people!  They get shocked when I fuss, but I have every right to.  I'm not always some nice, sweet, and quiet pushover.  Luckily, I survived that lesson even if it didn't turn out quite right.  So my next battle was to present my grammar card game.  Exterminate the Grammar Bugs!  Exciting, huh?  We wanted to present second, but turns out we had to draw numbers to find out when we presented.  We got fourth.  Not too shabby, but we had some good competition.  One group went to the campus printing services and had an actual game board -- very impresive and expensive.  I was still proud of us, and at least we got it over with today. That's one huge weight lifted off of my shoulders.  Now on to the next events -- ceremony practice and a "special meeting".  I've been waiting for this meeting for a while...

Oh, and an update on the printer: it worked this morning after being unplugged all night and a couple of tries this morning.  I do not understand that machine.

According to me, grab life by the horns and wrestle it until you just can't anymore.
