"wednesdays are the worst"

it's true. that random middle of the week day... the limbo between the beginning of the week and the weekend. i suppose the name "hump day" is appropriate. it's the day that makes or breaks the week, you can continue on and keep working hard to have a successful and accomplished week or you can ruin it all before noon.

this particular wednesday i didn't want to get up in the morning. though extremely sleep deprived, i wasn't particularly exhausted, just bored. at 6:3o i woke up this morning, an hour before my alarm was to go off, and lied there thinking of how boring my life is now. i feel like all of my adventures are behind me and there is nothing to look forward to besides a life time of work.

the truth is, i miss australia. i miss the adventure i had while i lived there and the fact that my life there had meaning. here back in the states, my life is directionless.

ahhh....... maybe it's one of those days i should just indulge in candy and call it good :-)

I have no idea what I am doing with my life...

So, here it goes...
because my life seems to lack direction (not lack of motivation, because believe me I am motivated!) I have decided to blog about it... perhaps, in effort to find the meaning of what I am supposed to do on this earth.

I really have no idea what I am doing with my life... university diploma is on it's way (or so I hope), I've got a lovely, yet "eccentric" family that loves me, and friends in all corners of the world. Anyways, though my life has no probable direction at this point, I'll amuse you with the three things that I do know (and swear by), and perhaps you should cherish as much as I do.

1) Hot showers. Seriously, next time you're lathering up and grimacing about your work day, remember how spoiled you are with that warm water. I grew up with an older brother and a younger sister, both of whom have a love for hogging the hot water. And there are plenty of people out there who don't even get the chance to shower on a regular basis, so enjoy it :-)

2) Family. Though they're not always "your cup of tea", be happy you come from a loving group of people. I have two wonderful siblings, a brother and sister, both of whom annoyed the hell out of me growing up... but years later, I wouldn't trade them for the world. And my parents - they fought like crazy and finally split up, but they taught me a lot and have supported me through and through. Remember, no one is perfect, but family is forever :-)

3) Candy. Everyone's day is better when they eat candy. I'm not saying go and ruin your diet by stuffing your mouth with m&m's and sour patch kids, but do have a piece of candy daily. And not sugar free stuff either... really indulge for that 30 seconds it takes you to eat the piece of licorice. (and for those horrible days where you should have stayed in bed, there is nothing wrong with the candy remedy... all tears can be dried with mike n' ikes, milk duds, m&m's, and skittles)
