i think i have an older sister. it sure seems like it! she pays for me when she's in a good mood and gives me sound Life Advice. so glad that at the end of the day, we feel for each other deep deep. studying really hasn't been that torturous. i've been blessed with kind study buddies! the fast food is killing me but the company makes up for it. i think i could keep this up for pretty long, in the strangest of ways i'm actually enjoying this... :) grateful to people who genuinely care, i can see it in their extra sparkly eyes. some things have returned to the way they always were. this brings alot of comfort to me, because for the longest time i thought i'd lost it forever. it must be a God thing. i read my sec 2 diary last night, that was entertaining! the orange ink was frustrating to look at. the three of us have been having tv parties every night, daddy fats had a field day at the supermart last night and bought a gazillion packets of chips and other junk. it's been so much funnn and i love coming home each day to write, having me time and God time and time with friends. also, i actually have ca$h in my wallet! so many things to carry out after this round of exams, i've made these promises which i hope will last. most of all, i can't wait to get back to my art. fingers feel uneasy without the grasp of copic markers.

take heart, friends. everything will be OK.
