I applied for my passport today

I got a scholarship to study abroad in central America this summer which I am super excited about. The only problem with this idyllic situation is that I don't have a passport. I also had could not find my passport and had to renew my drivers license. I spent all weekend looking for my birth certificate and could not find it so this morning I had to drive down to Van Nuys not an easy feat during rush hour and get a new copy then come back to Santa Clarita to apply for my passport. I seem once I acomplished this Herculian feat I was pretty proud of my self then right after I got a check from my Grandama for $5o0 for so spending money on the trip so as long as nothing goes wrong with my passport I will be in Central America in 23 days. I am also proud of my self that I could have procastinated 2 more days but I took action.

Wish My Mind Was Spotless

I just watched The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it is such an amazing film. I have seen it before and thought it was marvelous then and it kind of seems that it is the type of movie you can only watch once but it held up very well on this second viewing.

It has inspired me. The company Lacuna that erases peoples minds has a van they use to transport all of it equipment and it has the the "c" erased from the word Lacuna so it says La una. La una means the one in spanish which seems to be what the movie is advocating. That there is one person out there for that is the right person. I think that is what I would like to believe but it seems impossible. Though what I liked about the movie is that even having their memories erased the people in love with oneanonther fell in love again.

WOW

The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."

Over the past few weeks I have been doing and not doing a lot of things. I felt like I was on a mission to make my life better, but then I decided to travel into a strange and horrible land of unporductivity. I litterally gambled away my life savings. Then I wrecked my car while I have no money. I procastinated on school work so much I may fail 3 classes. It has been a scarey journey, though in super slow motion. The whole time I felt like I could get it back under control I would just wait a little bit longer to do it.

I feel like I made a turn around this morning. I prayed. I evaluted the situation in order to figure out how to make it right. I studied. I have worked out. I am hoping these new events will recure often over a long time.
