Well, about a month ago I told everyone about my New Year's Resolution. I have decided that about once a month I will update with how many books I've read, how many books I have left, and the titles that I read. If anyone is looking for book suggestions, check the blogs about my New Year's Resolution.

RIP
Today, our world has suffered a great loss. Alex was one of the most courageous people I knew, and her strength has helped many to realize how blessed we all really are. Her perseverance to fight this disease for 5 + years is only one of many things that will never be forgotten about her. She is now living a pain free life, riding horses and playing softball up in heaven, and watching down over every person she had ever known.
To Alex: I will miss you everyday. I hadn't seen you in awhile, but I always kept you in my prayers. You are one of my inspirations, and I will never forget how strong you were. I know you are watching down over us, and will help us during our times of need, like our prayers helped you during your times of need.
To the Hermstad family: I have no idea what it is like to be in your shoes, but know this: you have the support of thousands of people behind you. You are so strong, just like Alex. She was very lucky to have all of you supporting and loving her through the duration of her illness.

I was at school yesterday afternoon waiting for a band rehearsal to start when one of my acquaintances made a comment that really upset me. She was telling about her older sister who was also named Kelsey, and "had brown hair, played the french horn, and was an over-achiever." I honestly don't understand where people get the idea that I am an over-achiever. I DO set very high goals and standards for myself, and make sure that I reach them, because average does not sit well with me. Pushing myself has never before made me an over-achiever, I was just a kid who would do what she had to in order to get good results. I hate the fact that my so-called labels are "smart" and "over-achiever." I guess the fact that I actually want to get something out of school and apply myself so I am successful doesn't make sense to anyone but me..
