As I got older, I realized how much I try to be an overachiever. I get stressed over the littlest things-although sometimes, I wonder if I have the "right" to be stressed about it. My days seem to be busy especially with my last week of my summer class which is good but jeez the work load is seriously 20-30 hrs a week like my professor had mentioned on the day to day handout.
Anyway, I signed up for 6 classes for Fall, but it is only 16 units due to science lab, but I am debating if I should drop the 7-9:45 pm class since being at school at night...seems like a no no to be and because of what had happened growing up. But, I don't know, one of my friends took night classes and said it was a bit creepy to walk around campus at night. She is a girl too.
I am still keeping my fingers crossed for a film internship (have one I really want and finally got through) and will drop a class if I get one or I will be too overwhelmed.
Sometimes, too, I still get upset because someone my age should not be a work-alcoholic or feel "unsafe" or "uncomfortable" when the time comes when I ever have a boyfriend. But, I know I cannot regret it because in all honesty, I know that in order to be where I am today, I had to go through some of the stuff that had happened.
I do feel as though I am trying my best to "accept" what had happened and to not only forgive them and just people in general, not hold grudges, but to forgive myself as well. I am guilty of saying and doing a lot I had done but still learning on how this all works.
Anyway, I am still reading my summer book and I have noticed that every time I read it, I get bummed because of the protagonist's past. He reminds me of myself, but thankful that other writers are bringing a subject like this out. People need to open their eyes more.
