I realize it's been a very very long time since my last post, but so many things have happened. And to be perfectly honest, I haven't been in the best of moods lately. Trying to go to school, working a crappy paying part-time job, and dealing with boys can be a very frustrating thing. One day I was very overwhelmed with all these different things and my friend Mark called me up. While we were talking, I just broke down into tears. He was kind of fed up with my negative attitude and the fact that I was crying and he just told me to quit it. He said that it just didn't suit me and that I needed to stop focusing on the negative and look on the bright side of things.
He was completely right. Being negative and depressed does not go well with my otherwise bright and bubbly attitude. Not to mention, being negative gets you nowhere. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that my friend Mark is super-cool. He told me, "If you think you can do something, and I mean ANYTHING, you're right... you can. But if you think you can't, you're right... you can't."
Since then I have been trying my best to see the positive side of things, and let me tell you, it makes a world of difference. I've been a lot more productive with the various things that I have to do. And I've been a lot more like myself. So, to conclude my long, rambly-blog, let's all try our best to stay positive :)

Woot! Go Val! You are awesome. I think we all have a tendency to get ourselves in those ruts of negativity. Luckily we have good friends and family members to smack upside the head and tell us to shut up! Matt does it for me! So, just make the most out of every situation, and remember when you are having a bad day, just keep in your perspective people like our Aunt (you know), someone whose challenges make ours look like a sun-shiny day! Life will always give us crummy situations, and we have push on.
