This and that

All I have to write is made up of fragmented thoughts. Christmas is coming very soon and I'm out of school for the semester. Hallelujah! I've been up late and gotten up late recently and that has thrown me off a little bit. It's really nice not having to run about everywhere as it was with last semester. I hope I end up with the same schedule because to try to adjust to a new one would be next to torture. I have so many things to do and hardly enough time to do them in.
Tomorrow my teeth will be imprisoned. They might get parole after a year and a half if they behave themselves. I'm trying to look at this experience positively but in some ways it is depressing. I'm going to dye my hair with some temporary stuff I got tonight at a party. I hope it doesn't turn out like Anne of Green Gables' hair did. That would be sad, I expecting it shall look pretty good though. I calculated today and I think I have about 3 weeks of school break. It is so pleasant- you have no idea. Anyway, it is way too late to be on here and I really should go to bed.
I cleaned house today. It felt nice to have things cleaned up. I really do need to work on my Mock Trial stuff. We are going to try and have a scrimmage on our next meeting. I hope I can get on the ball. Some times it just takes getting over that mental hump in one's mind and just do it. Usually it is the "starting" part of doing it that is the hardest.
Thoughts for the day:
Criticizing doesn't do a bit of good. No one is going to criticize him or herself, so for someone else to do it for them will only cause them to justify their actions, even if they are wrong. Criticizing doesn't motivate people. Appreciation motivates people. The most common desire among people it the desire to be great/important.
*sigh*
I'm going to bed now. Thanks for reading my ramblings.

Oh- I will definitely be praying for your teeth. I'm sorry we haven't talked in so long. I miss you at Knox this year! I hope that you are doing well. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement when I got my "lovely" braces. :-) It helped a lot. Have a wonderful day and Merry Christmas!

Your sister in Christ,
Heather

Aygh, braces. It hurts my teeth to think of it. But it's not that bad.

I do believe that criticism is necessary at times. Paul did it to the church some. But, I also think he held himself back a lot, which was the better choice. And yes, criticism is used at wrong times and a lot of the time it does nothing.

Oh heavens I need to work on mock trial too. I've been taking a few days off, but plan to do a lot next week.

-Merry Christmas!
