Things Are Beginning To Turn Around (2)
What did I tell you, things just keep getting better and better!
Our apartment complex is now under new management! For some ungodly reason, our old landlord got moved up in status, but on a brighter note, that means we have a new landlord! Me and Sam visited her a few days ago, and she's this sweet little old lady, who's seems so happy! We asked if she had a laundry key for us, and she immediately pulled one out from behind the desk and handed it over! I'm not sure whether to be overjoyed that we finally have a key, or suspicious as to the fact that she had a box full of them sitting behind the desk, and out old landlord continued to inform us that there were none... oh well, I'm just glad that we don't have to deal with her anymore!
We told the new landlord about the things that were wrong with the apartment, and she seemed so shocked! She told us that was terrible, wrote it all down and informed us that she'd get to it right away. I'm so incredibly happy we have new management! Also, since this landlord seems to be more trustworthy than the last one, me and Sam are considering renewing our lease. To tell you the truth, we both like the apartment, even with its flaws, and we like the area. Plus, if we were to move, we'd have to have a new bus route, pack up all our stuff, find someone to help us move all our stuff, and then go through the entire leasing process again, which neither of us is looking forward to. I have a feeling that we'll probably be hanging around here for a little longer.

Things Are Beginning To Turn Around
Finally, things are starting to make sense to me. School has been good for the most part, I attended work-study orientation, so now I can start applying for w.s. jobs. Bad things still happen every now and then, but they're not affecting me as much anymore. Now if I could only get a freaking laundry key, my life would be just plain peachy! Wish me luck on that one!

Nothing Surprises Me These Days
I dunno what to think anymore. Life right now is so confusing, and I'm struggling to make sense of it all. Lets just say nothing anyone told me right now would surprise me. Seriously, you could tell me that you're secretly a Nazi worshiper and I wouldn't be phased. Okay, I probably would be a little weirded out, but you get my point. I just hope things sort themselves out soon!

My emotion is back... but it's confused
For the past few weeks I've been feeling an utter lack of emotion. I have no idea what brought it on, or why, but I felt absolutely nothing. I wasn't happy, I wasn't sad, or angry; just nothing. It kinda freaked me out, especially when people I'm close to would tell me things, expecting me to react, and I would quickly have to pretend to feel something about it. It's not like I didn't care, I just couldn't get my brain to respond properly I guess. I couldn't get excited about anything. I thought maybe something might be wrong, and maybe this was some form of chronic depression, although I have no reason to be so unhappy as to result in that.
Anyway, about a week ago I finally got my emotions back, and ever since then I've been a mess of feelings. My mood will switch from one extreme to another in a split second. It's almost as if my mind is trying to catch up with the break it took, so now I'm on emotional overload!
Today for example, I woke up relatively neutral, neither happy nor unhappy. Upon arriving at school I could slowly feel my temper rising the longer I sat in my class. I found myself looking around at my classmates and truely hating each one of them. I have never hated anyone in my life before, and here I was wishing the worst upon each of them. I finally had to leave, and went into the library. There I met an old friend from high school, and the short while we had to visit lifted my spirits greatly. Once me and Sam got home, I remained relatively positive (although I think this was partly because I was so hyper from the milkshake I'd had on the way home) and we joked around a lot. I walked her to work, and upon leaving her I suddenly felt a wave of depression hit me with full force. I have absolutely no idea what brought it on. About halfway home I saw two missionaries walking ahead of me, and at the sight of them I became immediately happy once more. (I dunno why, but I always get excited when I see missionaries!) I stayed pretty happy throughout the afternoon, and got all of my stuff together for the weekend ahead. I decided to try on my bridesmaids dress once more, just to make sure everything was okay with it. Looking at myself in the mirror with my dress on, I felt like I was so pretty, which is a miracle in itself. I decided to keep it on for a few minutes, so I could enjoy this rare occasion, then took it off so it wouldn't get ruined.
Afterwards I began getting my laundry together since I had quite a large pile of it spread across my room. At this point I'm wearing an old pep band t-shirt from high school, and my cargos since all my other clothes were dirty, and upon seeing myself once more in the mirror (this is only a few minutes after the dress-wearing) my entire perception changed, and all I saw was a sad excuse for a college student. Ignoring this fact, I grabbed my laundry basket and headed toward the laundryroom. As I walked, I found myself increasingly growing more and more agitated. I began realizing how ridiculous it is that me and Sam have to walk down the street everytime we want to do our laundry since our landlord still claims that she doesn't have a key for us. Then I realized that I didn't have enough quarters to do all of the loads I needed, so I only was able to finish half of my clothes. Now I'm back from the laundryroom, and still pretty upset, although I've calmed down somewhat.
All in all, I guess I'm glad that my emotions have returned, I just hope that they straighten themselves out soon. I'm sick of having random mood swings, and feeling things for no proper reason.
Oh, and I don't want any of you to worry about me. I'm sure this will pass soon, and I'll be fine again, but in the meatime it is a little irratating. I just thought I'd share what was happening with you guys, but I don't want any of you to get upset or anything, so don't.
By the way, Michael Buble is working his magic on me right now, and I feel much better already! It's amazing how much this guy's voice makes me happy! :)
