It seems to me that apologies are some of the most difficult forms of person to person verbal communications that we earthlings face. Either a person apologizes all the time, therein rendering any apology meaningless, or they never apologize. But never have I known or heard of anyone who could apologize exactly at the right time. When the two short words "I'm sorry" could have patched everything up. When those same words could save a life even.
For example: when one steps on another's toe, the appropriate response is to apologize.
When one steps on another's heart, the appropriate response is not to apologize, because there are some things "sorry" just can't fix. At these times, it is best to offer ourselves in our entirety, to risk the rejection and shunning from the one whom we have hurt, and in doing so, our actions will prove us sorry... or not.

Almost done with first semester!
Yay! First semester of sophomore year is almost over! It went by really fast. Still, I miss last year; the teachers I got last year set the bar really high, and now I'm finding myself disappointed in this year's lot. With this new change of schedule, we've been getting loads more homework, so subsequently, I've had less time for other fun things like writing on my famous blog.
It's still cold and snowy here, though it's starting to warm up a little. Everyone is really busy. It seems like the Holiday rush perpetuated to include the entire year. I wish things would settle down, just for a little while.
Got an entire three hours of sleep last night. Can't remember the last time (before last night of course) that I slept more than a grand total of two and a half. Yay. Hoping for a repeat or better tonight. Better get started on that!
Thanks for reading and caring about my humble life!
