weak at heart
its always fun to put on a game face and show everyone you're strong and undefeated. that way people stay away from you and would have to think twice about messing with you. its actually nice to have people respect you in some way because they are afraid of you. but then there are those times when you're alone and your greatest fears overpower you and u realize ur not as strong as u think you are and all the while ur just wearing a mask. a mask that fooled yourself as well.on a less serious note: sometimes those masks can never hide the pain brought about by having your wisdom teeth yanked out. believe me, if the study of law isnt for the weak at heart, neither is getting your wisdom teeth out. damnit. starting today, im adding this segment to each blog i make...people and things im thankful for:- getting to school safely
- not falling asleep in class
- seeing my friends especially doranne (yihee)
- those intervals when i dont feel pain in my mouth
- talking to mike..which put a smile on my face...

- my three piggy banks sitting by my french windows
- talking to mike..which put a smile on my face (oh wait, i put this one already..well, see how thankful i am for this one?)
- chatting with chuck who puts an even bigger smile on my face...
