Starting at the beginning of this week I have been in a sort of “funk” so to speak. . . I don’t really know why. . . . perhaps it is because once again my allergies are messing up as well as asthma and sinus problems and I feel horrible. . . . . perhaps it is because I am oober stressed out about my final on Friday. . . . perhaps it is because my life will soon be changing so drastically (with graduating, finding a job, maybe moving, etc) . . . or perhaps it because other life circumstances. Whatever the reason, I am not feeling right. . . . . I feel as if a good cry will help, but the problem is that I usually am not a super emotional person. I should be extremely happy. . . I am graduating this weekend, having a graduation party, just had my birthday on Sunday, am not going to have to do any more homework, have a future and opportunities ahead of me. . . . . so WHAT IS THE DEAL??? I hope it resolves soon. . . .

Aww Sarah bara! You need to come over and play me in Scrabble! Lately it seems as if everyone is beating me in one of my favorite games! So maybe that will help you feel better! Love ya!
we've all been there.. I was in this boat like the last 2months. hence the reaction you gave me last night! lol. feel peepy soon!! xoxo
Hey, I didn't get your call yet! You fergetted?? Call mee.....
It must be contagious. :-p
Congrats on graduating and all that tho. :)
Sarah,
Just remember your future is in God's hands!!! I've been where you are a couple of times in my life (where do I fit in, what's going to happen next, GOD where r U??...), but no matter what happened, as long as I remembered God was in control, everything worked out!
Congrats on your graduation. Can't wait until Sat. We are going to have a BLAST!
Oh, and MOVING...... What is that all about?
Love you TONS~
Amy
Aw, man, I thought I cheered you up and did a great balancing act. Hmm, guess not...but I sure hope you went white-water rafting today with your friends. That kind of stuff always cheers me up, and once you get this Friday morning over with that will really help too. BIG time. Don't worry, it's the stress and tons of change. I love you bunches and will always be here for you, no matter WHAT. Seriously.
This funk will pass, but like Kissa said, we've all been there. Hopefully it passes sooner than later, but keep having fun and keep looking on the bright side of life. There's lots to still be thankful for...read those books I got ya. Those help too! ;)
Sarah,
Awwww.... first of all, you do have much to be happy about. There's a lot of people that would trade shoes with you right now, and I'm not talking about pumps and tennies - your position in life. Free spirit, adventurous (ahem IRELAND), funny, educated and now a HUGE accomplishment as you continue to complete your certification. I salute you!
Second of all, a tinge of what, I guess we can call "depression", but I'd rather refer to as a "funk" is more appropriate - is actually quite normal. You named the reasons why:
-Transition into "the real world"
-Career/Job Searching
-Romance relationships tend to be screaming louder now (right?)
-Moving from a home you've lived in since you were a child!
-Money/Finances and all that good stuff!
There's many reasons. But you have a church family to help you through your funk. I'm guessing it won't last but a couple days - in fact, you will be all smiles today at your ceremony!
We love you.
James summed it up, and said it brilliantly!
I'm proud of you, Congratulations!!!!! You are the best and you're going to made an absolutely amazing nurse!! You'll have to watch out for the male patients, they'll be wanting your number! LOL!!
(Just thought I'd write again, cause I had a blast tonight with you! Even though we had to go to Starbucks twice! ROFLOL)
Sarah... I know what James is saying... it not what you call clinical depression, but it is a touch of what depressed people feel like... and yes, WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE and bought our tees. No doubt its changes taking place. I think I went through it after gettin my BA. I had worked sooooo incredibly hard going to school for what seemed like forever and when I finally had my graduation ceremony.. it was like there was such a let down, I got sick (my health had barely been holding up with fast food and 3 hours of sleep per night.), and I felt so uncertain about my "career" and/or ministry and where it would all fit in together. Its very exciting but very scary at the same time. I second Amy's comment... keep God first and things always seem to look and feel better.
Thanks guys! you are awesome! I am feeling a little better. . . I went white water rafting on thursday which was a complete blast! I also passed my last final on friday morning, went to my pinning on friday night, graduated on saturday morning and had my party saturday night! I guess it is just a different experience for me. . . my immune system is down too (too much going on) . . . I am sure that given time, it will soon reside completely! Thanks for all of your comments and support! Love you all!
Sarah...YOU DID IT! You finally grageeated.(I haven't!) I am SO proud of you and your accomplishments. Keep up the hard work and you will be rewarded in many ways. You are the BEST daughter I will ever have! I'll try to be the BEST Dad you ever had! Love u veilly much. DAD
