It's the Little Things
I went through a full transition this week. I started out by not caring about anything. If you've ever seen the "Kneehigh Park" episdoe from The Chappelle Show, the part where the puppet sings "F_ck It" is how I've felt all week. I just stopped caring for there was no reason for me to waste time stressing out on little things that were of no significance to me.
I leave for Las Vegas in 18 days and am broke as usual. What do say? Screw that, I'm going anyways.
I need money and should work and extra shift or two. Forget that, I've got other things to do.
I should have stayed up all night studying for this exam that I know I would not have remembered everything for. Forget that!
At the Kids' Fair, I helped out with BVN and did watercoloring with the kids. It was so much fun! I never would of guess I would be smiling at 8am on a Friday. I even spoke to a girl in Spanish because no one else in her elementary class could communicate with her. To see her smile at me because I was making an attempt (not the best, but I was trying my hardest) to make her feel like apart of the group.
I had my first English class at 11am and B.S.-ed a speech on the research paper I did three weeks ago. It went well, actually. I don't like having notes with me when I present because depending on the context, I feel it looks unprofessional. My friend Jennifer had me rollin in that clas and I couldn't stop laughing.
From thence we studying and laughed at how weird we are and took our bluebook midterm that felt so rushed. I know I passed but I just don't know by how much...
After being relieved of such stress we went to Ben & Jerry's and got ice cream. I had no money and she treated me! I official owe her my life. I will put out to anyone who will buy me food. I saw Mark Swiderski there and that made my day!
I came back to the apartment to discover Rachel cleaned the place and baked a cake!!! 2 things that put me into brief cardiac arrest was that a)Rachel doesn't clean and b) I love cake. I went to work after this and had a great time.
I went bowling with a bunch of people after work and it was cool to just kick it with them. I suck at bowling but it's such a great social event for people.
From painting with kids to bowling with friends, it was great to relax for once. I had a great day today. Those kids at the fair could of spilled paint all over me and I still would of had fun. To watch what they draw is amazing because it shows so much about them. To chill with my people from work, finally, was worth the wait.
Tomorrow, Rachel, Angela, Karrie, and myself are having a girls' night. We are all having boy problems and are eating cake and popcorn, and watching movies. It's things like these that we need to take timeout for. Laughing with a child, just talking with friends, it's the little, happy things that thrill me.
In the end, I'm learning to shake off the habits that stress me out and parallel them with the things that make me smile. Life just seems better that way.
