Day 23 – Something that makes you feel better, in great detail

Well. I am already in a writing mood, and I tenuously have control of my life at the moment, so I felt like I should take advantage of it and BLOG. Because I will never ever get this meme done, I am sure of it, now.

One thing that really makes my day is when I find money from the winter before in random coat pockets. Sometimes I stick a twenty in there, just so I can make the future me surprised and happy. It didn't happen to me today, but a friend who owed me money gave me some cash and it was pretty much the same thing.

In other news, I really really really do not like the snow. When I grow up, I am going to live somewhere without the snow. Really, I don't think it will negatively impact my life without the white crap on the ground. Probably it'll even help my coordination and lessen the injuries I seem to sustain every winter.

Today as I was walking to class, just as I was starting to enjoy how pretty the snow was on the trees, I was plopped on the head by a mound of snow from the tree I was currently walking under. Scowling upward,  I continued walking only to be met with a face full. Anytime I want to make peace with the stupid stuff it goes and does things like that to me. As I continued onward, I noticed people were walking and just missing the random and unceremonious heaps of snow. But seriously every time I passed under a tree, I got hit. So if you were walking around the JSB/Eyring Center quad area around noon today, and you noticed a girl glaring at the world, that is why.

Also, as if I didn't already have a problem with my balance, my heel decided today would fully be a good day to test me and broke. Okay, it might have been my fault, since I was the one who as trying to rock and balance on my heels while talking to a receptionist at my office. But still. I ended up walking lopsidly to the costume shop for some super glue assistance, only to be disappointed by the stuff for the first time in my life. I was shocked because I have definitely glued my fingers together, my arm to the table, gross (and seemingly real foliage) diorama scenery to my hands, etc.etc.

When I walked home from school today, I had buttoned my ipod headphones in my pants on accident after an unfortunately timed bathroom visit (more on that in a second). Combined with me walking rather unbalanced, I probably didn't look like a stable person. Oh well. It's kind of just one of those days.

I recently invested in this :

 I have only been the owner of this lovely water bottle for less than 24 hours (ironically was purchased at 24 Hour Fitness hahahah), and I am pretty sure it's  the best investment I have ever made. Although I have consistently had to visit Mrs. Murphy every hour, on the hour, I feel like it is far better to die from over-waterage than dehydration. The only bad thing is that it is virtually impossible to suck this baby up when one is running. I would compare it to a particularly stubborn loogie/snot that won't come out from the back of your throat.

Do you ever have one of those days where you realize just how far behind you are in life? It is not a good feeling, if you're curious.

Day 22 – Something that upsets you, in great detail

Getting a bad grade on a test.

All my life I have always identified myself as "smart." The very first time I walked out of the Testing Center, I got a horrific grade on my American Heritage class and I was seriously considering throwing myself in front of a bus. Most impactfully, my identification as an intelligent person went down the toliet.

I really hate it when I do horrible on tests these days because I am not currently taking any GEs this semester, and I don't have a valid excuse. I normally do well. But, well, not on a test I recently got back.
