Oh what a week!!!

Is October seriously almost already over?!?

I remember when I was a kid, having a conversation with my dad about how slow life was going. We were at the grocery store at the lake (Ralph's Grocery) - see, I really do remember it - and my impatient self turned to him and said, "Is life always going to go by THIS slowly?!?" To which he responded, "You know...I remember when I was your age thinking how slow life was going by. But, now that I'm older, it's going SO fast... Sometimes I wish it would slow back down!" At the time, I thought he was absolutely crazy and would have given anything to be in his shoes. Now...I see just how right he was...

This week was a CrAzY one!!

Monday: Worked all day! Took a new call at work where the man proceeded to yell at me. And, because I'm currently having problems in the sleeping department, all I could do was laugh (inaudibly, of course!). I was quite happy to hang up with him after he finished yelling at me for 20 minutes.

Tuesday: Day full of classes. Luckily, my 20th Century of Fashion class was canceled, which allowed me to come home for 2 hours and relax before heading to accounting. One funny thing that came from the day... In Strategy and Policy (the class taught by the professor who hasn't been in the US very long and therefore doesn't speak much English), a girl's phone went off. Well, her ringtone was "Let's Get It On," no joke. The professor had to stop lecturing because he was laughing so hard. Yeah...

Wednesday: Took the Business College exam over everything I was supposed to have learned in my courses at Western. I was surprised by how easy it was. Definitely thought it was going to be MUCH harder. And then I did my exit interview for the Business College. Reality of the fact graduation is less than 2 months away is definitely setting in... Then, I went to work and worked 1 hour past closing because I was that swamped. From work, I went straight to Bible study and then straight home. Despite being exhausted, it was another night of no sleep.

Thursday: Classes all day. Talked to my Finance professor about getting extra help so I can improve my grade in his class. During that discussion, he told me to skip my last class, go home, take a Benadryl, and go to sleep because I haven't gotten decent sleep in I don't know how long. I was shocked by what he was saying to me and ultimately did not follow his advice.

Friday: Work. Luckily, no new calls (that's the good thing about Fridays), therefore no one yelling at me! Yay! After work, I studied for the LSAT. Once my brain was completely fried, I went grocery shopping. I managed to shock 2 shoppers and the clerk by letting 2 people cut in front of me in line because they only had a couple of items they were buying versus me who had 30.

Saturday: Tried to sleep in (keyword being tried). Studied for the LSAT. Bought another book to help with the LSAT studying.

Here's to hoping this week will be filled with lots of productive studying and GOOD sleep!!! And, if I don't get yelled at on the phone this week, that would be a nice plus...just saying...

Bad Day

I had one of those today.

I REALLY bad one.

So bad that my neighbor came over and gave me a hug because no one else was around to give me one. And she gave me a really big hug, too. One of those hugs where you hold on to the person for a long time to let them know you're there for them. Yeah...that's what she gave me today.

But, I found out one of my friends from back home is going through a lot of the same stuff I currently am, so it was nice to have someone to confide in who completely understood everything.

Just for kicks, I created a signature tonight. I figure that was better than having yet another emotional breakdown for the evening. Don't know if I'll like it or not, but it was something to do rather than sit, cry, and think about the hole I'm currently in and have to find some way out of.

On the agenda for tomorrow...breaking the news of today's bad day to the parents. Not anticipating that one going over well...at all... Pray for me, please!
