You all wanted an update.
Well here's your update...
This is an update of why today was a horrible day... and why it would have been nice to hear some voices from back home. Atleast my family cheered me up a little.
This morning I got up much later than I had planned on because I have not had an easy time falling asleep lately. There goes half of my day. When I did finally get up, I made a mental list of the things I had to get done today. I had hoped tomorrow would be a homework day. While I'm making my list, my friend Whitney comes into my room asking if I'll go to Kimmel (a dining place/resident hall/computer lab) with her to get her laptop fixed because she doesn't know where it is. I wasn't going to go with her because I had so much other stuff I had to get through.
But then I got a message from my friend Chris from the 5th floor of my building. He's been really sick the past few days and he sent me a message if I was going towards Schine (the student center) at all today. I asked him what he needed and he asked if it would be too much trouble for me to go and get him some chicken soup and orange juice. Obviously I had no qualms about going because he is sick and couldn't really go himself. So I told Whitney I'd walk to Kimmel with her and while she was taking care of her computer, I would pick up some soup and juice for Chris. However, they didn't have what I was looking for a Kimmel, so I went back to tell Whitney that when she was done, we would have to go somewhere else for the food.
But before we left, Whitney wanted to get something to eat. At this point I was starting to feel really bad that Chris had to wait so long because I told him I'd be back soon. So I wait a good half an hour with Whitney while she eats. By the time we get out of Kimmel, it's after 5:30 and it was starting to rain. Schine isn't that far away from Kimmel, so I figured we could get there before the rain and maybe by the time we left there it would be clearing up again. (Whitney had to get tissues and disinfectant wipes.)
But Whitney decided that she didn't want to go any further without an umbrella and she didn't want to get her computer wet. Great. So now I had wasted all that time waiting for her to eat and she wasn't even going to come with me. So I got her money from her and told her I would get what she needed and she could go back but I had to go to Schine right then whether it was raining or not.
So I go to Schine and find what I need. But when I come out of the building, it's raining harder than when I had gotten there. I just wanted to get back to Shaw (my dorm) so I could get things done, so I decided to walk in the rain. When I got back to Shaw, I run through my list of things to do again and find that I have yet to:
1. take a shower
2. do laundry
3. plan a broomball meeting for a team for which I am the captain
4. make my bed
5. clean up my room
6. do dishes
7. do homework
So I start by making my bed and changing sheets so I could do the laundry. I figured I'd do the laundry while I did some homework. But before I did that, I decided I would plan the broomball meeting for 8:30 pm tonight. I let the people here at Shaw who were on the team know what time the meeting would be and then got in touch with David, a friend from one of the other dorms. He said he couldn't make it because he was going to make plans with some of his other friends tonight and he didn't have his friend's (our fifth player) phone number. It was kind of annoying that all I needed him for was about half an hour and I felt like he was putting his other friends before the team. He suggested that we have it tomorrrow.
That really sucked because I was trying to save Sunday as my homework day. Plus, the sorority I was pledging for (aoe), I decided last week that I was going to stop pledging for it. But in order to do that I have to go through a depinning ceremony to make it official. That, by the way is pretty degrading, because I feel like that's what happens when someone gets kicked out of pledging. It makes me feel like I did something wrong, even though I know I didn't. Anyways, no one from the sorority had gotten back to me about the depinning ceremony, which was supposed to be sometime tomorrow. So I was stressing over the fact that I needed to have a broomball meeting sometime on Sunday in my room, my friend Terryn (also on the broomball team) couldn't do it until pm times, and I had to schedule it around a depinning ceremony for which I didn't even know what time it would be held.
I send them an e-mail asking about times, and then get one back saying that the meeting will be at 6:15. So I set a meeting up for everyone on the team for Sunday at 8:00 pm. However, that is also the time of the floormeeting for my floor tomorrow night. I decided I would just skip the floor meeting because I don't know when else I'd be able to get everyone together.
So I was sitting at my desk frustrated and annoyed with the entire day thus far. And then to top off everything bad that had been hapenning, the bracelet that Steph's parents had given me for a graduation gift broke at the clasp. So now I need to go get that fixed. Overall it was just a really bad day.
And then later I got a phone call from Steph, for which all I could say is "I'm really sorry you had to go through that" and "I wish you were here". I had absolutely no advice to give to her, which made me feel really bad again. How can I not have any advice to give to my BEST FRIEND?!?! I hope I get to see you soon Steph. And then I got a message from Adam and I ended up call him and telling him all about my horrible day.
I wish I could see my friends more often. I can't wait until I get to come home for Thanksgiving and see everybody again. I know some of my friends have been having a hard time with things lately too... all I can say in here is that I know everything will work out for you. I miss you guys so much. I wish I got more phone calls from all of you cuz I miss you all a lot.
I think that has to be all for tonight because I'm really tired now and I have a ton of stuff to do tomorrow. Feel free to leave your comments. Makes me feel loved.
