// Extremely loud and incredibly close.

A warning sign;
I missed the good part, then I realized.
I started looking and the bubble burst,
I started looking for excuses.

A warning sign;
It came back to haunt me, and I realized.
That you were an island and I passed you by,
And you were an island to discover.

Come on in:
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in.
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is, I miss you.
Yeah, the truth is, that I miss you so.
And I'm tired. I should not have let you go.
So I crawl back into your open arms.
Coldplay - Warning Signs

Something dawned on me today. I don't know why I've been worrying myself about the possibility of leaving BC for University of Alberta. Why would I move myself to a completely unfamiliar city to start school, when I can go to school here and keep my life as is? I'll go to Langara for two years and then I can transfer back into UBC. I mean, starting university or college is difficult enough, without having to completely rebuild your life and social circle. And granted, UBC is my first choice for first year, Langara can't be that bad. I'll end up in UBC eventually. And I can get my Masters there too. So why am I worrying so much? Why can't I settle for a college? I mess myself over sometimes.

The electrical storms tonight completely terrified me. I wasn't actually scared, but it reminded me how powerful God is. He shook the earth; he shook my soul with thunder. It was completely senseless the way He poured rain down and bellowed across the wind. Really. I just couldn't believe what was going on. It just started pouring down rain so badly. And I knew there was only one person strong enough to do that: God. Duh.

I like big storms.
