Great Expectations

The last few days have been an absolute whirlwind. For no reason in particular, it's just the everyday happenings of my life. Sometimes I think I do too much, try too hard. But then I look at it again and wonder "Why not?" I'm not doing anything (school, sorority, band, etc.) that I don't absolutely love, so "Why not?" I don't know why not, other than, it's, really, really hard to do it all. I hope that this past week has not been indicative of how my whole semester will go, or else we are in for a long one.

Things are looking up, though! Next week, Emily, Keshia, Madeline, and Koro (4 of my best friends from home) are coming up for the weekend! I absolutely cannot wait!!

So, Grey's this week was something interesting, and for the first time, I actually identified with Meredith's narration there at the end. Something about it just resonated with me. So, here it is:
"We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes are expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still. The expected's just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives."
