S for "Salute".

I had a great idea yesterday. What if I put my alarm to 05:35 instead of 05:40? That'll give me time enough to take a shower. Talk about being hopeful - at 05:35 my head was still detached from my body and I had loads of trouble finding it. I suppose this is what I get for spending the whole evening in front of the computer. In my defence - the course is going rather well though. I'm actually ahead, which feels really good and quite reassuring. Of course, I haven't gotten any tasks yet, but I think the fact that I can read the books with a genuine interest helps me a lot. It makes it so much easier to take in and store the information and I think that the best I can do is to just focus and actually believe that I can do. To "have faith in myself" as one of my friends would put it.

It's quite funny actually. You can never know how people will enter your life and how they will become your friends. Nor can you know for how long they'll stay or how much they'll mean to you. A phone call here, a "hello" there, a silly comment in the passing. I remember one of my friends commenting my comment about looking like Cartman as "that's sexy in my book", which just put him on instant plus. The friendship with him eventually cost me the friendship with another, but it was worth it - because if I have to choose between two people, I will always choose the one who makes me feel like I can do anything.
