Feeling inspired!

So after the really nice day we had yesterday, it's freezing and raining today, it's supposed to be Spring isn't it? I'm ready for summer though to be honest. I worked with a classmate of mine on a project for my Gender studies class. It was a lot of fun, I got to hang out with her and her friends for a couple hours. I really like this school a lot. My peers have been really excepting of me, it was fun to just laugh with Jess and her friends for two hours. We cracked up looking at a clip of Kevin Kline dancing to I will survive in the movie In and Out.

I feel like I'm continuing to be more outspoken here, I'm talking to my counselor and he has been extremely supportive of me. I also have a really awesome mentor here too. I opened up to her on Thursday about a lot of things, I found myself becoming very emotional as I was talking to her. Her and I have a lot in common, she also has lent me an ear when I need it. I really appreciate the fact that she just lets me talk. She lets me say what I need to say. Just having 2 people there for me, who are supporting me, helps a lot.

I feel like sometimes, I need a lot of people to support me, or hold me up so to speak, but I'm learning that I don't, just having 2 people supporting me is great. I like having the chance to spread my wings on my own too. I have been interacting with my peers, I write for the newspaper, that's a lot of fun. My very first article I wrote for a paper was in High School, I wrote about MCAS and how miserable it made me for 2 years. I like having the chance to do things on my own.

I can be a quiet girl sometimes, I think my shyness stops me from speaking up. But over the last few years, that's changed. I think a lot of people around me have helped me get out of that shyness shell. I owe those people a lot for helping me. I'm pretty sure they know who they are. I was supposed to see David Cook tomorrow with my little sister too, unfortunately the concert has been canceled. I hope he is able to reschedule for a later date.
