Blahhh

Not a good day for me. My best friend might not be able to go to Japan with me and I cant imagine the trip without her ='( I am being plagued my financial troubles (me and the rest of the world). I have soooo much to do and no motivation to do any of it. And to top it all off....it was raining today X(. I normally like the rain, when I can take long naps and laze around my room and do nothing.

I need to cheer up and see the bigger picture! But for now I just feel like Blah!
