Basketball, Philosophy and Pinterest

I've been spending a lot of time with these three things lately and it has caused a lot of interesting thoughts.
Basketball:
Re-entering the world of Jr. High has been entertaining and help touch base with my inner nerd (not that I really needed to do that). I love sitting at my brothers' basketball games and just watching the silly jr. high kids think they are so cool. But it has been fascinating how fast they start to bug me. And wonderful they think they are. For instance, tonight. I went to game that was tough. It was the first game our j.v. has lost all season and they lost by one point. It was bad. There was a group of girls sitting next to us for the next game (the varsity game) that were so disrespectful and outright rude, it took everything in me not to tell them to shut up. I don't normally get heated about sports, but tonight... I did. But there are a lot things that I have learned going to these games and the school we play at.
1. teenagers are stupid. but when adults get around they act stupid too.
2. acting stupid never works out the way you planned.
3. being the better person, doesn't mean you are going to win, it just means you'll still feel okay about yourself when you don't.

Philosophy:
I'm taking an intro to counseling class right now and it was been a very rough class. Meaning, my head hurts every day after class is over. I've had to really think about life and how I live it now, and how I plan to preach it when I finally become a therapist. Its actually made realize... That I don't really want to be a therapist. I know. I graduate in April and I'm just figuring this out. Actually, I've known for along time, I've always known that my really goal in life is to be a mom. And weirdly, this class, and all my psych classes really, are going to help me when I finally get to step into the role. I've really had to think about way I believe the things that I believe and I've had to put those reasons on paper, which if you've ever tried it, its REALLY hard. But its helped me really cement my beliefs in my mind, even if I don't cement it very well in my teachers. Hopefully I will be able to do it for my children.

Pinterest:
How does this connect to everything that I have mentioned so far? It doesn't really. I've just learned a lot of really cool things on it and I love it. Someday I'll have the time to do all the things Pinterest teaches me. And the people to do it for.

My life is changing really fast lately. Big decisions are being made and worked on. School is coming to an end and I'm having to learn how to be motivated even when I don't want to be. I'm learning to really tough it out right now and learning to appreciate the really little things in life. My biggest goal right now is just to get out of bed in the morning, and I'm doing pretty good at that so the rest is just falling in line behind. I know big things are going to happen soon and I have a feeling they're going to be great.
