Writer's Block's Got Me Tongue-Tied

The words, they're in my soul, you know?

I think I've got them figured out.

But once my pen hits a fresh piece of paper,

My head, it clouds with doubt.

Emotions racing towards my hands, seeking absolution,

Reaching my determined fingertips now face a persecution.

Funny how that's the way I get whenever I see your face.

But my lips instead of my fingertips seem strange and out of place.

I think of clever things to say to see your smile - perfection.

But silence is all I can portray, so afraid of your rejection.

So I'll just keep being what I am to you and live my hidden lie.

Only wishing someday the way I feel would echo in your eyes.

Back to the Q.

Well, it's been awhile since my last post! I just got back to Quincy, and woke up yesterday thinking that this would be the very last time I would ever move back to Quincy. This makes me...well, sad. Many people who attend QU seem to harbor bad feelings towards it, but I have had quite the opposite experience. The thought of this being my last semester literally makes me cry. At Quincy, I have found my best friends, a love of learning, and a new view of the world and the importance of embracing others and their differences. Although I'm excited to see where the future will lead me, the memories and experiences that I have had at QU have definitely shaped the person that I am today, and I will treasure these four years in my heart forever. Okay, enough of that. Too depressing.

I have made a New Years resolution...like the rest of the world. Celie will vouch for me when I say that I am not the world's most organized person. I'm clean, but I'm messy. I can't ever seem to keep my room neat for an entire day, and I have yet to see the value of an assignment notebook...or a folder for that matter. This being said, my New Years resolution is to be more organized! I purchased an assignment notebook and I'm going to get a folder to put all of my papers in. This sounds really stupid, I know, but I think making these little changes might make a big difference! I'm also going to attempt to keep my room a little cleaner (maybe Celie won't have to tell me where my phone or lost left shoe is anymore ;) ).

Also, I will be selecting the winner of my blog following this week. And Tanner, I already owe you some cookies :) .
