Karma
Hello to all. So this is the belated and adjusted version of the post I was writing in my head in the afternoon and was planning to post earlier, but i kinda dove right into things and have been busy ever since. First off ill say im not at my own keyboard so pardon the typos if i miss a few. Now on to the good stuff;
I, am having, a GOOD week. I mean like i just was eating my lunch today and thinking about all the wonderful things ive had lately and i was in SUCH a good mood. So i thought, well, if my luck , or fate, or good karma, wishes to bestow upon me such great things, than i should acknowledge and appreciate them, both out of gratitude and so as not to piss off Queen Karma and have her bite me resentfully. A few examples of why I was in a good mood today, I had a presentation that ive been working on all week that well; i went to the Down Under food court to buy lunch at 145 (and they close at 2) and the one lady gave me a plate FULL of food, and when i went to pay, the other lady said "That'll be $2.50" and i said "$2.50?" and she said yeah, ill just charge you for a side, we're about to close anyways, and i was like wow, thank you! cuz it shouldve been twice that much. After my afternoon class i called one of my roommates for next year, her name is Heather, and i needed to get my copy of the lease from her so i went over to her place and we ended up getting into some really great conversation for like an hour and a half, the last hour of which was on religion, which we both really enjoyed, so that was great. But we both had things to do, so i left after a bit, and walked back home. AND, I got a paper back yesterday that i was a bit iffy on, and i did great on it, of which im really proud.
Now its important to keep in mind that no day or week is all good all the time, i mean i started the morning by timing my presentation and being a good few minutes too long, which was a bit unnerving (but i edited it at work before the class so it all worked out well) and when i went to the floor's kitchenette to grab my lunch, my 3 hot pockets were gone, meaning some idiot who cant buy his own food stole them. Assholes. So that was really irritating. But no matter, this was a good day. So i went home, tried to ignore the tired of 5 hours of sleep and a rather tiring day, and i relaxed for a few minutes, and then got to my job: i needed to move my desk into the middle room, pack up a bunch of stuff to take home this weekend and get out of the room, and take down my loft. So after much time and tire and sorting, and a good deal of help from my roommate, I got it all done, and 10pm came around and i was tiiiiired. Luke came over, dez came home and i had them help unbunk the beds which was quite the ordeal, but it all got worked out.
On top of the fine events of today, a guy at a gas station gave me free donuts 2 weekends ago, and that was nice, I had a great weekend at home with Austin and a really nice passover sedar with Hillel last thursday. Now Im not gonna lie, i have my stress and my issues and all that, but im not here to write about them tonight, tonight i just wish to be greatful for the good things. Maybe on sunday ill complain about the couple of papers and a quiz i have next week or the emotional exhaustion that my whole room is gonna be going through from final this coming week. But not tonight.
Tomorrow is Friday. Im going to get up, take a long relaxing shower, pack up some clothes, load my car, see a friend from work whose last day it will be (very sad about that one, she's a great lady), go to class, and go home. Im hanging out with my mom tomorrow evening, which is well-needed, and then seeing Austin. And i am very excited about all of these things, and very determined to enjoy them. I was walking home this evening thinking about how great i felt and wondering, ok, if all this is going so well, that often means something's gonna go wrong, whats it gonna be. And truth be told some things did go wrong today, but the good outweighed the bad and allowed me to stay calm and keep my perspective, and I really feel like thats the important idea here, appreciate your good days, and dont ignore or forget them when the storms come, because they will be your umbrella. :)
So this is my update, just wanted to share a bit of joy. Lots of love to all, i hope you all study well, do well, and keep a good hold of your sanity.
