It is such a dark day today. The clouds look so angry. I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was look outside and say, “It’s going to be an ugly day.” I was walking down to the library and I heard the bell that signals 8 o’clock. But it sounded different; it sounded like a funeral bell. I was surprised, because I’ve never heard it like that before. I had never noticed how the day could affect how you hear something. I know it affects a lot of people’s moods, but that it could change a sound…like I said, I was surprised. I wish it was sunny; then people and sounds would be happier.

There’s something different about me this year. I don’t really know what it is or what caused it, but I do know there’s something different. I have two jobs, which takes up quite a bit of my time. I have four English classes, which means that I always have a paper to do. I’m having major problems with my dad, which is a long story that I will probably never go into. I have to make sure that I divide my time equally between my roomy whom I love and the guy in my life. So why, with all these stress factors, am I so mellow? Why am I not in a constant hurry to finish everything? Why am I not going to bed at three every morning so I can finish my homework? Last blog, I mentioned time management, but even with good time management skills, so much stuff would be stressful. Maybe when I figure it out, I’ll share my secret. This world could use some more relaxation.
