When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun, then you grow up and learn to be cautious; you could break a bone, or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there is no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

Row Row Row your Boat...
Ok here it is - the finished product. I must say I'm pretty happy with it. Although I could spend probably another year making changes to it and I will never be happy. I know this about myself, so I have to tell myself to put down the paintbrush before I really mess it up.
I am giving this painting to my roommate for her birthday tomorrow. She loves boats and pictures of boats, hence what I decided to paint for her. But I like it because it is cropped and it's not typical.
Anyways, work is becoming more and more exhausting. I really don't know how to help this child and I have almost accepted the fact that it's not going to happen on my watch. But I have to hope that one day it will get better - at least for the parents' sake. He's a tough kid and has some deep rooted issues. What it is, I'm not sure really, but I know that it's a lot bigger than not wanting to do his homework or being irresponsible. There is a rage there. And hopefully one day he will be able to conquer that. He is truly a smart and good kid. I can see that. Anyone can see that. I just pray that one day his attitude will improve.
I'm really looking forward to coming home this weekend! It will be a nice break right before exams start. But I'm happy to say that I'm really not that worried about my exams.
Ok who noticed my awesome music player over there ------------------>
Pretty sweet eh? Now you can listen to the music that I love!
Oh snap.
