You can step into the Sun...
Today was great. I straightened my hair and then, as always, noticed the hail/rain/snow outside my window. I always seem to straighten my hair on rainy days. In the end it just got hidden under my lime green hat. At any rate, that isn't why today was so good. Today was good because I went to lab class and came out winning four points on my final grade. Not that it's alot or anything, or that it's a big deal.. but I'm proud of myself.
Our task was to match the different rocks scattered around the classroom to the corresponding formation descriptions in out lab booklets. The teacher said that he would confidently offer up four points to the student who could get each rock right on the first try, which was apparently a rare occurance. I decided that I was going to work as hard as possible to acheive this and get those four points and I did. I checked and double checked my answers to the point where I just knew I had gotten them right and had a smile on my face. He didn't announce it because I didn't want him to. But he seemed impressed and I felt good that I could do it. It made me feel like I could do anything if I have enough concentration. I guess writing about it here somewhat defeats the purpose of not wanting people to know, but I decided I deserved some bragging rights. I don't normally do well in things like science, even if I like science, so I'm going to enjoy the fact that I am doing well now. Ha!
When I got out of class, Joel was waiting for me so we could hang out. We went to the Library Cafe, where we met a kid in his english class who reminded us of those 80's business guys always on coke. His overenergetic attitude and overwhelming desire to make money was scary, and I felt a little embarassed for the guy. When he wasn't talking about business, he was talking about women, and how sucessful he was with him. Then he hit on me, and I said " awwwwkwarrd" and pleaded with joel using eye-language to get us out of here. We managed to escape to the Starbucks just off campus, where we hung out and talked and ate krispy kremes and whatnot.
Then we parted ways and I went home to my apartment, where I effectively napped myself into a dreamless and drool filled sleep.Luckily it wasn't the whole day, just an hour or so. But oh the drool! I can't imagine where all that saliva came from, but it was defenitely there. I almost feel like there is a little man that lives in my pillows that supplies drool for me when I sleep so that I can wake up embarassed, with a wet face.
I wonder if there is therapy for droolers like me? Maybe it's because of all the birthday madness? I just found out Rachels in town. I hope she and Keith can come to my partay at the museum. So far, neither of them are answering their phone calls or answering IM's or anything, which almost makes me feel like I have a disease. I know that they are probably just busy or something and I'm being silly. Sometimes I just can't help the thoughts that enter my mind.
I am looking foreward to tomorrow so much! I just want to see my mom and dad and my siblings. I really want to give them all enourmous hugs and have a nice family dinner with them.
You know, I think that if I were younger, looking at this entry, I'd probably be confused out of my wits. I wouldn't seem like me. Lol. But I really appreciate my family and love them to death.
Happy Four-points day to me!
