All things great

I haven't posted for really long because I have been busy. I know that that is a pathetic excuse, but it's a true story.
I've had oodles and oodles of homework, projects, tests, and exams are coming up soon. Scary thought.

Anyway, today, at assembly, a clinical psychologist came to talk to us. She was telling us all about putting things in perspective, and she told us this pretty inspirational story, it went a little something like this:
Farmer Brown lived on his farm, quite happily, and he had his favourite donkey. This donkey and Farmer Brown were quite inseparable,  and it used to follow him around everywhere. Then, the one day, Farmer Brown went to take a look down this well, and his good ol' donkey followed him. Farmer Brown leant forwards, looking at this well, and his donkey did the same, but being top heavy, he fell in. Farmer Brown peered down into the darkness, but couldn't see anything. So he decided that the least he could do was bury the donkey. So he did. He went to go and get his sand, and spadeful by spadeful, he threw it in. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the well, this donkey was suddenly hit with a whole lot of sand. Confused, he shook it off, and stepped on it. Then came the next, which he shook off and stepped on. The donkey carried on doing this for a while, until eventually, the sand was enough so that he was right at the top of the well, where he simply stepped out.

How cute?
For any dummies who didn't catch on :P
well:
You are the donkey. The sand is your problems. Farmer Brown is life. When life throws problems at you, you just gotta stand up, shake them off, and move forward, using them to guide you.
