What a Difference 24 Hours Can Make

Wow. I'm completely blown away at what a difference a day can make! Yesterday I was a mess. Within a matter of hours I had convinced myself that I didn't like A&M, that I hated school in general, that I didn't want to be an education major at all, and that I was upset with everything involving college, classes, or school as a whole. I had had a horrible morning with one little thing after another (lets see, in the first 10 minutes of being awake I had walked into a sliding door that hadn't opened, realized my favorite spot on campus for breakfast was closed, and found that somebody had locked their bike to my bike, resulting in me running across campus in order to make my 8 AM). I hadn't slept well the night before, waking up every 30 minutes all night. It just wasn't my day. I cried in front of so many people which I absolutely hate doing. I got into a fight with my best friend, first time that had happened in 2 years. It just wasn't my day.

Today has been a COMPLETELY different story! To start out, I slept a solid 10 hours without waking up once.  I figured out how our biology lab worked and went through the entire biology-filled day without stressing (that in and of itself is an accomplishment!). I hung out with my camp friends for a bit, then came back and spent some much needed time in my room. I did laundry, cleaned, and danced around to some music with a carefree attitude. I goofed around with Rachel. I went to water polo and laughed more than I had all week. We scrimmaged against the guys team, and at one point I had burned my defender and scored on their goalie. Immediately following a "dang that one is fast. And she has a sass to her! I can't keep up." the guy who was defending me switched with their sprinter. All I could do was laugh. Afterwards, Jen and I rode our bikes through campus enjoying the cool weather and the sprinkles before I head back home to work on homework. I reread the chapters for my reading class that has previously given me uber frustration, and then took the online quiz. I think I might have missed 1 or 2, but overall -- I felt good! I then realized I knew more to calculus than I thought I did, and think I might be able to make it through that quiz tomorrow!

Tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day as well. I don't have class until 11:30-- HOLLA! Then I'm coming back and power napping before working on a speech that I have to give next week. My topic for the speech -- Beauty and the Beast! Heck to the yes! Tomorrow night I'm going with Katie to get her Aggie Ring at 5:30, and then supporting her with the rest of the water polo team at her Ring Dunk! (The Aggie Ring is a huge deal here. After getting your ring, it is tradition to "dunk it". Essentially you put your ring in a pitcher full of your favorite drink, and then you chug the entire pitcher to get to your ring!). I'm looking forward to a fun night with some precious friends! It's going to be a blast!

Wow -- what a difference from yesterday!
