A Poem and Some Haikus

I wrote these not too long ago, but I somehow forgot to post them so here they are now.

You-1.26.2010
In darkness there is light
In blindness there is sight
In sorrow there is joy
Just as moral is in ploy

Sometimes I cry and moan
Sometimes I cry alone
Sometimes I cry, I'm mean
Sometimes I cry a scene

But though I feel sorrow
I have great hope for tomorrow
'Cause you will dry my tears
Because of you I have no fears

So I'll go through life's trials
Knowing you will give me piles
Of my dreams and wishes come true
And I know it's all because of you

I love you God.


And the Haikus, all of which were written 5.14.2010

Fear
Something is coming
A quiet ache fills my heart
Is that thing not fear?

Air
The wind in the trees
Creating a dancing breeze
Puts my mind at ease

Stars
Tiny pricks of light
Gleaming through an inky night
Stars, a wondrous sight

Heavy
Inching ever up
Hopelessness will consume me
All for obsession

Choice
A fork in my path
One to fortune, other, death
Which one shall I choose?

See
See through the blank stare
See a picture of a life
Clouded in mystery

Total Change of Plans

So, AZ is a no-go. Dad says "Next year." I say, "I'll have to live it to believe it."

The reason we are not going to AZ is because Mom decided she wants to go someplace she has never been. However, they made a deal with me so they and I will be going off to Seattle and Portland from June 5th to June 12th.

I will also be venturing to Victoria, BC (yes, in Canada!) on my own for one day to give them some time without me. They would be coming too, but they just applied for their passports and won't have them in time for the trip.

I am excited, but not as excited as I would have been if this trip had not replaced another trip. I wanted to go back to the state I was born so badly because I miss it so much, but I guess that will have to wait until next year. The Grand Canyon will still be there, and I will be just as eager to climb down it.

Besides, the drinking age in Canada is 19, so I think I might buy something there just because I can. =)

Troubles and Drama...

Almost lost my trip today. I really need to learn how to channel my negativity and jealousy to turn it into gold. Two weeks until AZ!

Eek!!!

Time is so slow...in one month I will be in Arizona!!!

Dad's making me go wild...we're going to be doing a lot for this trip and I am very very excited about the prospects!  As it turns out, he wants to visit more than I realized, so I am of course, incredibly excited!!!

In other news, I got my grades in, and everything was as expected.  All As and Bs!  Now I just have to get everything ready for GCSU and I'll be good to go.  I have Orientation on June 25th, five days after I get back home to GA.

Done.

So I'm officially halfway finished with my Bachelor's Degree!!!

It's been a crazy CRAZY week.  I wonder if I should have taken a little more time off from work for finals, but the fact of the matter is that I am finished.

I've had a nice couple of years at KSU, but now it's time to start a new adventure at GCSU.  I'm excited and at the same time scared out of my mind, but it's now or never.
