Wondering how to keep up hope

I am having kind of a down day, it's really kind of hard because I feel like I just pulled myself out of a whole bunch of schmuck only to feel down again. I think most of it stems from work and school, I am frusterated with my boss Gary because he wants me to find funding connections and I don't really understand why he didn't tell me this two weeks ago. Most of that probably doesn't make much sense to everyone else but I think the essential concept is he didn't tell me everything he wanted changed after the first edit.
I also have this Spanish novel to read which is really becoming a pain but I don't I have to get it done because I a m giving a presentation about it on Friday...then there is Dance Marathon which is a whole other ball game that I am really ready to be done with. ok...thats enough of my ranting, I wish Jennifer would get here to the foundation so I could go read my book.

Hearts, Flowers and a lot of snow

Well, the girls at La Discoteca (aka the Duplex) made off pretty well after V-Day. Three Bouquets of flowers, a bowl of milk duds and malt balls,and a pot of gold from Derek...we all knew we were well loved.
It's snowing like cats and dogs today and is really the first real snow we have gotten since Thanksgiving. For Nebraska being known for its cold winters, we have been spoiled with 60 degree days. Lately have just been trying to make it month to month with money, which is scary seeing as the situation never seems to be getting better. We read a poem by Sir Walter Raleigh in Renaissance Lit., where he discussed how the learned become poor if thats the case then I will probably be out on the street begging by the time I am 30. I have been trying to tell myself that not having much money helps you realize the sweeter things in life, so far I am not convincing myself.
Exciting things of the week: Simon has an interview today to teach at SCC, I got a 98% on a Spanish test(this has never happened before), and Meg's sister is valedictorian at her high school! This is a lot of things to be thankful for even though times may be a little rough.
