Happy Birthday Robin! You would have been 22 today! Even though you've been called home, you still continue to inspire all of us who were blessed enough to have you in our lives. You'd better be waiting for me at the pearly gates to give me the grand tour when it's my turn!

So, today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. This morning was rough, but I still went to class. Afterward, I went to the MacDiv chapel, fell on my knees at the alter and cried my heart out. The feeling of emptying your heart at God's alter (literally) was absolutely amazing! I felt so much better after.

Headed home after that, mopped for a bit (felt better but still not great, ya know?) before I got the urge to draw. I've uploaded the finished result, though I might end up attempting it with marker. I plan to do a series of drawings with my cousin, a type of art therapy since I didn't really handle her passing very well over the summer.

I had a big breakdown with some really close friends once I got back to Hamilton (they made the mistake of asking me about her when we were drinking >.< ), and since then, I've been at peace for the most part.

On a whole different note though, my schoolwork is suffering so much this year! I'm trying this new thing called having a social life. Figure, new Uni, 4th year, may as well give it a shot. Man, I am SOOO far behind! I never realized how hard it was balancing the two! I've got two midterms next week I am so not ready for!! My sister will be coming for Thanksgiving, so hopefully I can work on things tomorrow morning before she gets here, and Monday after she leaves :S
