The Bad and the Better- January 30-31, 2014

These past few days have been completely different in form and function.

Like, completely different.

Yesterday, I was still riding on the wave of tiredness and being overwhelmed... a lot, actually.

What brought me up was that my Writing professor used my homework assignment as an example to the class of what she was looking for for that particular assignment! So I guess I did pretty good! Plus, the whole class got to contribute to what information and details I needed to add/make sure I included in my paper. So... yay! Accomplishment!!

I didn't get food til after that class, and I don't know if it was related, but when I walked into my next class (Theatre History) I suddenly felt completely, ridiculously sick. I got really nervous... I was stuck in class, feeling scared that I would throw up... it wasn't pleasant... It went away after an hour or so, but I feel bad for the people around me- I was pretty fidgety trying to take my mind off how I felt... :P

I called my Dad and he gave me a good answer- I'm too tired. Makes sense by this point, as I felt really tired by this point. After my discussion session for Sociology (b-o-r-i-n-g), I took a two hour nap, and that helped a lot. I had enough energy to do some homework and get food in the evening, at least. Plus, I got to call my little sister. She turned 12 yesterday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!!!!!!!! I miss you sweetheart and love you LOTS!!!!!!

I thought I went to bed at a reasonable hour..ish... but I didn't sleep well. It took me a good hour... hour and a half maybe to actually fall asleep, and I felt like I kept waking up.

I wouldn't mention all this without reason, I promise. Wait for it.

I woke up this morning (later than I should have) feeling completely, 1000% better. I know, right? What the heck.

Actually, the only complaints I really had were that I was really hungry, a bit sore for sleeping funny on various muscles, and I think some makeup got stuck in my tear duct or something- my eye in that area is sore/tender.

And the day just kept getting nicer!

1) I checked my mailbox, just cause, and found a birthday card from Grandma and Grandpa (from Montana!!!) right before class!

2) Class was nice!

3) I bought myself a really exciting birthday gift (every time I think about it I get so so so super excited... you can probably guess what it is and I'm not surprised if you already know but SQUEEE I can't wait to use it!!!!!)

4) I was fairly productive today... not as much as I'd have liked to be, but I still got stuff done! And I didn't feel too overworked!

5) I got a surprise package!!! It has birthday gifts from home!!!!
By a surprise package, I mean that I checked my email and saw that I had a package downstairs. I thought to myself, "That's funny, the book I ordered wasn't supposed to be here for a few weeks... did it come early?" And it wasn't the book!! It was from home! :D I'm going to open my presents tomorrow... or Sunday. We'll see later :)

6) I thought I would just be eating dinner by myself (and my book), but I ran into some kids from my Scene Study class and ended up having an awesome conversation with my friend Bennett. We talked books and movies, mostly. It's one of my favorite conversation topics, so I thoroughly enjoyed the entire conversation despite EVK having a total off day today.

7) I'm transferring schools!!!


I found this on my door this evening!!! Looks like I got into Hogwarts!!

(Just kidding, Mom. It's the school in Harry Potter. Don't go too nuts)

I can't wait for my Defense Against the Dark Arts Classes!!! Though I wonder if they have a good theater program at Wizarding School... All the same, I KNEW I wasn't a Muggle!!

Man. I feel so much better. I don't even feel tired, actually. 

That's my biggest problem this evening... It's time to go to sleep, but now I'm not tired AT ALL. What the heck?!? 24 hours ago I was practically dying from fatigue, and now... I'm better than ok! I don't even want to sleep!!!

I'll probably end up reading some more until I tire out. If this is how great today was, I'm getting really excited for what might end up happening tomorrow... It almost feels like a lottery system... Am I going to be exhausted or energetic? As long as I'm productive, I'm ok with either. I have a first draft of a paper to write tomorrow, and a whole slew of articles that I should read... yikes. 

You know, it was probably prayers that did this. Actually, I feel pretty certain of it. Thank you, God. Thank you if you did pray!!! Now, I just hope and pray that I'm this energetic on Sunday too.

But man, today was so much better than yesterday. Things are looking up :)

Fight on, Friends
