(12) unexpected events
today was unexpected. at the start of the weekend(being thursday), i was excited about the news that my roommate was going to houston to celebrate the chinese new year with her friends. it all went according to plan until friday hit. then i sort of went downhill. more than sort of. the reasons for that, i can't really say, but i do know that in the middle of it all, i started to feel flashbacks from last semester. i felt worthless. and to top it all off, i got the mother of menstrual cramps on saturday which left me lying in bed all day. i turned down the offer to go hang out with lola and hani. i don't think i would have been up to the effort it takes for me to be around people.
but survive i did(obviously) and today whatever god was punishing me decided to give me a break and let me smile a little. i went to my group project for my film class and was not disappointed. normally i hate group projects since i'm usually paired with the dumbest people alive, but i was mildly surprised this time. my group is composed of witty, sarcastic guys and quiet girls. since i feel more comfortable with guys(they don't seem as judgmental?) it was easier for me to relax. our actual project was to make a presentation on the editing of hitchcock's rear window. for those of you who have seen this movie, you might know that there was actually very little editing--making our project very quick...and boring. nevertheless we spent two and a half hours "discussing" ways to lengthen it to the required five minute mark. after the official project stuff was over, a few of us stayed behind and talked some more, ending in three of us going out to eat dinner together. it cheered me up quite a bit. i'm not normally the social type, but i'm sure i needed it somehow. my cheeks are sore from smiling too much. i love that. normally only justin and/or my family has the power to do that.
i didn't get much done in the way of school, save my coloring sheet for evolution. my classmates and i have decided that the level of the class is at seventh grade. we also found out that our professor actually did teach middle school at one time. it explains so much.
even though i didn't really get anything out that i wanted to say...i still feel better. i suppose that's all that matters.
