Because by calling something Untitled, you are giving it a title. Right? Oh, what a crazy world we live in.
Okay, so Halloween is in approximately three days. I don't really have plans. I mean, there are plans, but I don't know if I want to follow them. Thanksgiving is (ah!) in three weeks. It's going to be an event to remember. I found out my sister Kacey decided to come which is great, of course. At least we can be three out of the four, right? Right... Plus a certain best friend is flying in which might be too much too handle and I will have to break down in embarrassing sobs right there in the airport :) Haha, I wouldn't do that to you, don't worry.
Well, I certainly had a Day. Started out a little shaky. I walk to my morning class with a good friend of mine and today we had a less than pleasant subject for conversation. Another friend of ours seems to be not handling college as well as everyone thought she would. She's in my prayers and it's turning out to be one of those situations that prayers are really the only way I can help. Then I continued on with my day with my favorite class, Anthropology. We received our tests back and I was very pleased with the nice shiny A I received. Until he explained the grading. Through an intricate mathematical system, it turns out I got an 89, which means...a B. Which means ONE POINT away from an A. That definitely brought down my day in a way. I mean, one...point...It's not life-changing but still.
Then, the doozie. I had a test in my biology class that turned out to be a lot harder than I thought...or studied for. Our professor at the very beginning of the class went on and on about how this class was different, almost easy. This test completely contradicted that and I almost started crying in the lecture hall. I did my best, which only got me a C... Again, not life-changing but still very hard to accept when I'm trying to get a 3.7 GPA. And considering my luck, he's the one professor that doesn't offer any type of extra credit. So I'm stuck with my C. Yippee!
It all wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that this day seems to be mirroring how I've been feeling the last couple weeks. It all seems so much...harder than I anticipated. It's not just the work, I'm pretty sure it's just an off week, it's everything. Juggling friends, weekends, and just college has started to tire me out and it's only October! I've been starting to look at my situation and wonder if I'm doing it wrong. Should I be so burned out only at the end of my second month? I just find myself looking forward to the end of the semester so violently that I can't find the happiness in this one. I feel like I'm looking for all the answers, and coming up empty-handed. Ah, but I'm hoping it will pass. These last few weeks have been stressful, but I can still feel the hope that certain things (and people) still provide. So again, I know I'm okay.
P.S. See the parenthesis? That's you.
