A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
- Dr. Meredith Grey. - Grey's Anatomy


I've just gotten into watching Grey's Anatomy...since it's a hospital show and whatnot. this was in my friend's pro, and i've read it a few time, but never quite got it. that is until i watched the actual episode it was in. after that, i got it, and if you take the time to read it, you might to. and, dr. grey is definatly right...don't wait for things. i've learned that...take your chances whenever possible!!

great summer!!

well, summer is pretty much halfway over...very surprising and unbelievable. but so far is been pretty good...although i really haven't had a week where i just did nothing...but all through august i'll probably get to do that :). my b-day was this week...it was good, i got quite a bit of money...and i'll still get lots more. i also finally got a cell phone, a pretty nice 1 too...a camera one :)...lol. but as school gets closer i'm getting more anxious and dreadfullness all at the same time. this year will have a lot stored it it. i won't be a freshman anymore, that's for sure. and i'll know everything that goes on, besides the new stuff, so i won't look like a fool for asking what the heck is that?? then by the end of the yr. i'll be looking at more and more colleges and my future...scary but exciting(still wanna go somewhere in the medical field by the way...wut i really want rite now is to go to syracuse university for premed then on to suny upstate for medical school). but then i'm dreading all this work i'll have this yr...some of my friends a yr ahead of me said there'll b a lot...specially in english, dreadful and boring subject for me...not as dreadful really just i don't like it. and then SAT's will be coming in another yr...ugh. and that's what my mom keeps telling me...if i want to b a doctor i have to look forward to at least 8 yrs. of school. idk, i think it would b alright, really its only 6 yrs. of pure bookwork...the last 2 of medical school your actually in a hospital...so, who knows what will happen with my life ahead of me...:)

the heat is here

well, the heat is finally here. it was in the 90's today and it'll b the same tomm. we already have a heat advisory. and i kno some ppl think 90's isn't that hot, but when the wind chill is -30 in the winter...trust me, you'll think 90 is VERY hot. but today was fun, cept now i'm tired...swimming for 4 hours straight does that too you. summer's been goin good for me, i've been keepin busy for once and haven't really had a chance to just do nothing for a week. but once august comes, i should have that. cept then me and my family will probably do more travelling. one weekend will b a b-day party, it'll b fun cuz its at one of my relatives camp on the st. laurence...very nice and relaxing. then another weekend we want to go somewhere...rite now its between montreal, toronto, or new york. they're all about the same distance, bout 3 hours, but thats not bad for me cuz i'm used to sittin in a car for that long. i would rather go to montreal or new york tho, probably nyc over montreal...just cuz i need to go there before college cuz we live so close and cuz its...well, new york..lol. and then i gotta c the place where everyone thinks i live cuz i say i'm from new york...i do, and everyone else in n.y. state, hate that cuz everyone that lives out of state thinks thats all thats in n.y. trust me, theres TONS more. but o well, some things will probably never change. well, thats all for now i guess...till nxt time
