Dangerous Minds..

First off I think that Dangerous Minds might just be my favorite movie of all times. I don't know why but I can watch that movie again and again and not get sick of it. Each time I still have to turn away when Emilio goes missing cause I can't stand knowing what happened. Sending a student away for not knocking...who does that? Seriously. It makes me so mad every time.

Secondly, I think that my mind is dangerous. It really never stops. Even when I'm sleeping I think my mind is rolling...which would explain why there are times I wake up feeling more mentally exhausted than when I went to bed. Sometimes it's school, sometimes it's food, sometimes it's nonsense, sometimes it just is life, and sometimes it is nothing at all. But for the most part it always seems to be littered with thoughts.


Usually I don't like Sunday's too much. But this time it's different. First off, today is Easter - Happy Easter. Secondly, I did have a great supper and am still full, although for some strange reason I am having an intesnse craving for peaches - the canned kind, plump and juicy! Third, I think my school work is prepped for tomorrow meaning I have the remaining hours to watch some Oprah's Big Give and curling. Fourth, yesterday was good (except I almost hit a biker..how many points is that?) so that makes today better. Finally, it's only one week till spring break. So knowing that I have 5 early mornings left before a long anticipated break just makes me want to get things rolling.

I have some goals for spring break.
1. Get my second bedroom cleaned up - I hate clutter and my organization cart broke when I moved last summer so there has just been stuff sitting on the floor - man I hate that.
2. Buy a blue recycling box - cause I always forget!
3. Create some opportunities for myself and adhere to pre-planned deadlines...maybe...yes I must
4. I want to shop - and I don't usually want to shop, but for some reason I do. A two-night getaway would be just about awesome.
5. Massage time! I think I'm broken - but I still think my huge bruises are really quite attractive.

So with everything that has happened this past week I once again just have to stop to take notice and be thankful for all I've been blessed with. Some food for thought:
  • A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change
  • We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope. - Martin Luther King Jr.
  • If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.- Rosalyn Carter
