The title of today's entry is how today went. I overslept, went to theory, understood the concepts for once, went to chapel, actually enjoyed it (and didn't fall asleep for once), went to maths, owned at the example problem, went to band, did a decent job there, then promptly freaked out because I had a religion essay to write and I forgot I have convocation and marching band. Whoops.
That stress actually died down fairly quickly, though, seeing as Dr. O, in his wonderful wonderfulness, cancelled practice, which meant an extra two and a half hours for me to relax, and write my paper. I ended up being able to write it from 4 to 5, eat at 5, and then get to convocation at exactly 6.30. I wasn't looking forward to convocation, but...
It was amazing! The speaker, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, was just so full of insight and stories, and he related to everyone in the room. I got more out of tonight's talk than the last one- and he managed to get everyone over their cynicism with just his first words. It was amazing.
Today actually had several good things, though what I'm feeling right now is mainly exhaustion. And, a little sadness.
I was looking at the pictures that came out today- the ones of Eleven in Ten's clothes, obviously right after regeneration. It really made it hit home that (yes, I am getting all emotional over a TV show) this wasn't just, you know, Tennant being replaced, it was the character of Ten, my doctor!, dying and being changed into Eleven. I will say that Matt Smith's hair looks a lot better in these pictures than in any of the others I've seen. Ten's outfit is all ripped up and torn (and to repeat what I said in a comment) that makes me fear what is going to happen to kill him. Not that I've know has any other outfit been as mutilated when a regeneration happened. It just..really makes me realize that yes, this is a different Doctor. A different person, while being the same. I'm definitely giving Smith's Eleven a chance, but I know that when I get to see the last special(s) I will be a nervous wreck, curled up with a blanket sobbing. Probably.
Other than that, I finished my religion essay- I finally made myself just sit down and do it, and it only took me an hour. Not bad at all. So I now just need to do...nothing. Well...the reading. But I'm doing that tomorrow.
I miss my high school friends- 7.30 theory in particular. I love my college friends, but as they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Or something.
BUGWB indoor practice was cancelled today, as I said earlier, so that was nice. I need to stop putting off the the webcomic. I need to draw it. I promise I will.
I need to shower and do...stuff.
