Regrets?

I should be playing collegiate sports right now. I should be playing basketball or softball at a University. I should be a part of a team. But I'm not. I'm not playing... anything. I'm not doing anything that I love, anymore. It seems as if I left that all behind in High School.

Sometimes, you just reflect. And I'm not doing any of the things that I would have thought that I would be doing, back in high school, four years after I graduated. Not at all. And am I disappointed? Yes. But there isn't any room in this life for regret. We only get one shot at this. Some get to live longer than others... what right do I have sitting on my ass, doing nothing, wasting it away? None. I don't have that right! I'm priveledged. I need to take what has been given to me and take advantage of the opportunity and do something for this world, leave something behind. Make something of myself.

So I'm going to.

Don't cry over spilt... purified water?

You know you're having a bad week when it is topped off with something like this:

Picture the scene. Kelsie's sitting in her red Husker chair, wearing her red Husker shorts, playing Xbox. She gets up to go grab something from her bed, and on her way back to her chair, slips on a liquid substance on her floor (which she will later come to find out was purified water). Yes, she falls forward, narrowly missing cracking her forehead on the corner of her desk -- don't worry, though, because her face broke the fall.

Does she have carpet in her room? No. Floor's hard. Tile. What does all of this result in? A huge headache, a piece of my chin missing, a bump on my forehead and a sore nose. Thankfully I don't think I permanently damaged anything (other than my ego). That's a plus.

At least the water had been purified, right? I mean, if I had slipped in regular tap water it would have only been adding salt to the wound!

I will now let that incident cap the end of a bad week and move on, vowing to make this week a good one! Which hopefully turns out to happen, considering I have two tests, a quiz, and Nebraska plays Mizzou this week. Huuuuge deal, if you didn't know already!

I am going to leave you all with something that will assure that at least my Monday starts off well when I come back and look at this post:



RYAN REYNOLDS CAST AS GREEN LANTERN! Yay :D
