And then there was light

I am looking a little hopeful today. It's crazy how a few changes in life can make such a difference.

First thing, I have received better information from the university. What used to say 'pending' now says 'missing information.' Well all that means was that they couldn't find my transcript and I have to give it to them. Well at least I know they got the application and stuff and that it's being considered.

Second, I've realized some of the things that make me depressed or unhappy. I think my constant headaches are caused by stress! Something I'd never thought before. I know that sun, heat, squinting and hits to the head gave me headaches, but now I can add stress to the list. Things I can avoid to get rid of headaches!

Third is a comforting word from my brother. There are three driving instructors at the licencing place. Two are female, one is male. And I vaguely remember now, and Jason remembers clearly: Kathy, amethyst driving instructor and great lady had warned us about the man. According to her, he fails 86% of everyone he rides with. My brother had him as well and my brother had failed the first time. He said that this guy doesn't care about road conditions or what have you. He merely cares about signs and rules. And he doesn't hesitate to fail people - obviously.

Fourth, I didn't lose that $75 I paid for another test. Mom put $100 on my VISA yesterday. It's nice that she cares - even if it's always showing it in a material sense.

And lastly, some insight to my depression. I feel most depressed when I'm tired/bored and/or when it's late at night. The boredom may stem from the night. I find myself so bored at night and doing weird things, like organizing my inventory on secondlife. I often sit and think 'what should I do now?' This is a thought that enters smy mind all the time. When I run out of things to do, I get depressed. I start looking for stupid pointless things to do that doesn't improve my mood.

Just a couple small things, but I feel better today. Though I'm seriously hungry, I'm going shopping instead with Jo. I got a Penningtons giftcard for christmas. Better go use it.
