Today has been a good day. I hate that I can have such a good day after flipping out as badly as I did yesterday and the day before. It's stupid, and it totally shouldn't happen. ARGH, it angers me. I think I'm going to go buy a fish today. I have some Poli Sci reading to do, but I really need a fish, you know? Something to take care of, something to (whoa, this is gonna make me sound crazy) to talk to. There's something about having another life in your room, that's not a roach (you know, something that's NOT potentially detrimental to your physical health), and although I really don't have the money, I think it's a good idea. I'm crazy like that.
I wrote my English paper last night. A friend of mine read it, and was like "it could be argued that you went a little liberal on the prompt, but overall it's a good paper." That made me feel good. The "liberal"-ness was intentional. The prompts were all stupid, and boring. So I spiced it up a bit.
Prompt: Write about something you do well. Explain why it's important to you.
Topic: Procrastination, and how the stress from it ruins my life (ha ha). It's important because it's something I need to learn NOT to do. Maybe I'll attach it when it's all finished (I have to make the corrections that my friend in class made while she was revising it).
Well, I was kinda worried about the "liberal"-ness, despite the fact that it was fully intentional, so I asked my professor about it. I told him the topic, and he said he loved it! That was SO exciting. Then he said "Imagination is one of those things that I look for in an 'A' paper." I took that to mean that I could potentially make an 'A' in a class! I haven't done that since last year (first semester in college, and it was in Music Theory, and Musicianship...).
I'm so happy! I feel like crap, though. I'm going on this apple fast for the next 3 days, because I bought a book that recommended it as a way to help clear acne (a problem I've had since I was 10...that's almost 10 years, kids). I figured "what the hey, I'll give it a try." I'm STARVING. I only had 2 apples to begin with today, and that's NOT enough food. So, I might have to mosy on over to the store to buy more apples (I was trying to avoid BUYING them, by having friends get them for me from the school cafeteria, that's not seeming to work though). While I'm there, I can get my fish. Sound like a good idea? I thought so.
Anyhow. I've got to go study for a Poli Sci quiz. Pray that my day stays decent, or at least that I stay stable...
