The Educating of Miss Daisy in the land of the Lilies

I’m Taking inventory of where our real priorities lie- there’s a big difference between where they ARE and where they should be. I think I’m maybe the best example of this- I was up until 2am the other day finishing an assignment, and I was banking on have a STRONG cup of coffee in the morning. Long story short, there was no time for coffee- and I was a cranky little brat all morning because of it. I let my daily dose of caffiene, or lack there of, ruin my morning. How insignificant it turned out to be in the long run- but I still managed to let it start my morning off on the wrong foot. I’ve got to get over the little things, and learn to take these little details in stride. However, when I need to get over being a brat, so does the rest of the world. Just yesterday, I got called to the dean of students for not turning a library book in on time. The dean of students at prep is not someone you want to get called to by any means- she either expels you, gives you JUG, or just repremands you for your petty crime. When I think of going to see the dean of students- it’s usually for no weak offense. The typicial offenders at that office are usually the heavy partiers, the cheaters and the more serious offenders. NOT people who keep a library book past it’s due date. maybe I’m making a big deal out of nothing, but I think it was a little over the top.

I’m sorry to complain so much- I’m on a rant again, I know. I think I’ve just been very restless lately, I cant’ really say why, I just wish i could stop stressing.

There just has to be more than all of these things that seem so insignificant and lame. What’s stressing me out?- stuff that doesn’t matter!- My dance teacher is not so happy with me, and I’m stressing over our show coming up. She expects dance to be my life and the only thing that I care about. There was a time when this was the case in my life and whenever I had a free afteroon it would be spent in the studio working because I loved what I did and couldn’t get enough of it. Now, there is so much more to love. Over time and as you grow the things that once fulilled you no longer fill the void, you must broaden your horizons and move on. It is fact, that these days there are bigger fish to fry than dance and the studio. I must readjust my stressors according to my priorities. Hopefully then I can relax a bit, and actually do what I want to.
