Although I took my tool to school (dam!) I was so proud that I had a good day and never even thought of looking at my tool or SI-ing at all. WOW that made the day feel so good :)
Just let time tell the story, and act accordingly. (Phrase by myself)

These feelings too, shall pass. (BUS phrase?)

I'm working on homework and not procrastinating (well, most of the time...not all the time :D ).

I actually did my AP Calculus homework.

I actually paid attention in class today.

I wrote out a new solo for one of our songs in Jazz band due to the fact I am not able to play the written solo.

I haven't hurt myself today.
I was able to stop myself from yelling at a teacher.
I ran a mile on my treadmill instead of throwing up.
