two good things this week Mood

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Wow, well, 2 good things happened yesterday I was not expecting.

First; The YMCA called and set me up to volunteer every Tuesday from 11-1pm, and since the kabs bus only costs $1.50 per way to go every week, I'll just do that, then I get a membership for free that way. That was cool.

Also graduation's coming up, May 9th, I found someone at school who is going to take me, one of my instructors, so I'm going to pick up my cap and gown Wednesday, most awesome.

Also my guidance counselor at school, set me up with an internship this summer, at a place called Vision it Now. They are a local web design company here in town. I'll be doing that on a volunteer basis too, unless they hire me after the internship is over, which is a possibility, right now I just have to pray about it hoping for the best. wooohooo!! :)

I just can't imagine a better week then I've had this week. I just need to get on the ball with my homework. I'm struggling with it right now is why I'm so far behind, I've got a few hard classes this semester, but all my instructors say I've done enough homework to at least pass with a D this semester, so regardless of how much I get done, I'll definitely graduate. Since its been 18 years trying to get a 2 year degree, I think thats something to be proud of, thats why one of my instructors volunteered to take me to graduation, she says after 18 years I should go thru the ceremony, so I'm doing it :)

Tom, I am so proud of you! Everything is starting to look up for you, and, you certainly do deserve some happier times in your life! Just think, soon you will be a graduate, and, you will have all your schooling behind, and, finally you will be able to show the world what you can do with your education. You should be so proud of your accomplishments. Way to Go!!! Wishing you more wonderful days and weeks ahead. Jami

thanks guys, I hope so. I just feel so alone is the only thing. Its not about a girlfriend, I know when you stop looking one seems to fall right in your lap and everything, but I feel like I just don't have a friend in the world.

I mean, think about how you'd feel if everyone you walked by in real life, guys, girls everybody, ran away from you like you were a criminal or something. wouldn't you feel alone too? Positivity is easier said then done in those situations. It makes me feel like nobody finds me attractive, like an alien from outer space or something, I get so sick of it, to the point where I have suicidal thoughts sometimes. I think how God would feel about that, and the fear of just hurting myself, are the only two things stopping me from doing it, and I don't like feeling like that, it scares me sometimes to think my self-esteem has gotten so low because of how other people look at me. The "who cares" attitude is easier said then done when it seems like everybody. :(
