The time of year is upon me again

When I think of the saying: 'the time of year is upon us again', I would like to be able to think of good, happy, maybe exciting things...Christmas, my birthday, summer, Easter...however, this 'time of year that is most definetly upon me now' is the time of exams. I have officially started revision, I officially have a lot less life than I did, say, last week! Such a drag! And this is the 3rd year in a row that I've come off my Easter holidays, gone back to school and feel that pressure definetly on me, to do my reivison, to do ALL my homework, I'm sure you all know how it goes! Thankfully I get a break next year, what a blissful year that will be! And then to uni...where who knows how many 'that time of year' stresses I'll get. Anyway, enough complaining about exams and stuff. Plenty of time for that.

Don't you hate it when something good reminds of you something good, so you dont like it? I'm purposely trying to be as vague as possible here, because certian parties involved in this might be reading and I don't want them to know! So my most sincere appologies. Say, for example, you have a place you used to go with someone who was special, you enjoyed the place for it being it and for the company involved, and then you don't have that person anymore so you don't like the place. Or a tv show that you used to watch with somone who was special, and now you don't have that person, so you don't like the tv show because it reminds you of when things were good? These are all hypothetical situations, I'm not gonna comment on what my actual situation is! I found a quote that I really like so I'm going to share it. "O soul, He only who created you can satisfy you. If you ask for anything else, it is your misfortune, for He alone who created you in His image can satisfy you." -St. Augustine. I think that's my problem. I look for too much to satisfy me. I have on-going battles with God and myself for not being in situations I would have liked to find myself in. I need to get back to the *simple* 'let God satisfy me' and then maybe I'll be satisfied with every situation and every person I get given. Tough though, isn't it? It's just a matter of praying. I need to learn that more. To come to God with everything, thank God for everything, know that God is in control of everything. Of course I know and believe all this, its just engraving it into myself that is the hard part!
