What Events Impacted Your Day?

Stress is waking up screaming, only to realize your already awake
We all have those moments when we wish we could just wake up and start our day over.
I woke up so hopeful, I honestly believed I was going to get things accomplished.

Well, then reality hit. Below are the events that impacted my day.

Two major events impacted my day. One, I spent my morning searching for camera surveillance to recover stolen goods. The second, finding out that my balance with the bursar at my college has doubled and the student adviser I was working with is now out on leave. Leaving me little to no further academic support. 
Knowing now, that I have to persuade complete strangers to give over surveillance footage and also having to write a plea for a deans grant doesn't seem as hard. However both will be a testament of my personality and integrity to gain the confidence of strangers that my intentions are good. With the hope that they know I am trying to exploit the kindness of others for the greater good.
Both are going to challenge my faith in people who all the cards.  
Based on the response to these events. If I am able to gain these "acts of faith" I will have gained the belief that peoples intentions are good. If not, I will expect that self interest is greater, further jading my will in people. 
 
On a more positive note:
I was required to critique a peers work anonymously, I did not know who did the work and they did not know who critiqued it. My review was positive and made her day. 
I know its something she will take with her for a while and remember, always wondering who it was that saw her truth.

Climbing to new heights

I did it, I reached the peek and nothing held me back. 

A sad day

A day in the life.

Last night I found out a friend I cared much about, hurt himself causing his own death. What I didn't know is how bad his depression was was. The idea that the world would have been better off without him tears me apart. Just the idea that anyone thinks they are worthless boggles the mind.

If your hurting, reach out to someone and tell them.
Your worth it.
