So far we've done yoga on the kitchen floor, sung our hearts out to Bruno mars, planned going away parties, copious amounts of zedbra print, rushed showers, established nic-names, bought 1 kg of Brie which has so far taken 3 days to eat half of, had long talks about religion, adventureous grocery trips, girl talks, texting mayhem, invitations to rock concerts, and tomorrow me and the billet sister are hitting up the sales at UO!
Today I had quite a stressful two hour disagreement with someone and it actually really upset me, but after I talked to my beautiful mother, my halarious billets, and amazing friends, I'm learning to look at things with a bit more perspective. I'm trying to see how staying calm and keeping control will fool them into thinking they haven't won, and to stay strong and not waste my emotions on people who don't deserve them because they disrespect me and my emotions and opinions. I know going back to the Katima house will be stressful, but I am a mature, rational 18 year old girl with amazing friends, a second home in Quebec City, and great parents who let me cry to them on pay phones on random street corners in a different province.
Thanks for reading, and stay positive. We all deserve to be happy, as long as it's not at the expense of someone else.
I'm glad you're keeping things in perspective ... even when it is hard. I still call my mom on days when life seems so unfair. She always reminds me who I am. We love you!
