So my mom and aunts came up for the weekend.  It was good to see them, and the weekend was definitely more eventful than it would have been if they hadn't come up.  We didn't do anything real exciting, did some shopping, went out to eat, played some games, and just talked.  I got a webcam, it doesn't really matter to me what you think about that, I'm happy I have it.  And something I was really excited about was while we were walking down the main street in Alexandria we were going into all the little shops and we went into a used book store and I found a copy of my favorite book, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, by Betty Smith.  I was really excited, it's an awesome book, I've probably only read it like 4 times so far, but that's just because I've had to get it from the library and stuff.  That might be my book for nights I can't sleep.

Tonight might be one of those nights.  My mind gets ahead of my life, gets things planned out, when in all actuality there is no basis for the future I have in my head.  When things start to happen and I realize the contradiction between reality and my hopes, I get really disappointed.  That's where I'm at right now, I don't really want to get into it.  But I'm just down, I don't know how long it will take me to make the hopes in my head disappear, but until then you'll just have to bear with me.

I have an Intro to Music test tomorrow, our first one.  I'm not too worried about it, I think without looking anything over I could have gotten a solid B at least... I've looked some stuff over, I'm going to review key signatures in the morning cause sometimes those are tricky for me.  I want good grades, but my motivation level this year is tons lower.  That's just life I spose, it's like a rollercoaster in the way it has ups and downs.

Life in general is like a rollercoaster.  I would say right now I'm at a low point, but I think the incline is in sight.  I'm really looking forward to next weekend when I go to UND.  The weekend after that is homecoming, so there should be stuff going on.  Then FINALLY it will be fall break.  I think things will be getting better soon, and I just have to hope that my motivation returns to me.  It's never failied me before.
