The happiness we plan on achieving never finds us. Once we find what we want we're never happy. When we achieve our goals we want more. Sometimes right before we're about to achieve that which we've fought so hard for we realize we don't want it anymore. That's how life works. People say "If only I had ____, I'd be happy." The fact is, people don't really know what they want until they're about to lose it or they finally do. People want more but they want a guarantee that they won't lose what they've got. I'm slowly coming to terms with the way things really work. You never really get what you want without having to sacrifice something else. That's why those who have everything they can buy are so unhappy. They have everything but the intangible things that really will bring them happiness. The universe has a way of working itself out. It has its own system of checks and balances. Most people know it, but they haven't realized it yet.
That's all for now.

Coffee!
Ok. My #1 New Year's resolution has not yet been started. Notice the time I'm posting this. I haven't gone to bed yet. I went to IHOP to get a midnight snack and study. My "snack" became an omelette and 19 cups of coffee. I got some studying in though. I even planned the next day out (the one I'm probably going to sleep through most of). Anyway, the caffeine doesn't make me more alert. Instead, it keeps me from sleeping because it's a diuretic and, well, we all know what diuretics do (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diuretic).
Regardless of how badly things went this past semester I am ready to make some groundbreaking changes. I'm absolutely serious about my resolutions and I'm actively pursuing each and every one of them. As for my terrible sleep schedule and unreasonable coffee intake I have no excuse. They must be improved. In an ideal world I would be in bed by 11pm and be up by 7am. So far I'm 7 hours late. As long I get about 7 or 8 hours of sleep I'll be fine. I just want to be able to function well enough to achieve my goals and fulfill my resolutions. Anyway, I'd better run. My kidneys are working overtime. ;-)
That's all for now!
