Wednesday's are usually very good days because the only class I have is at 930AM and then I have the rest of the day, until 330PM, to do whatever I like. That time is most frequently spent procrastinating on homework, papers, and projects and appropriately spent browsing Netflix and sleeping because God knows I lack sleep most days. I started off the day in Intro. To Psychology, which breezed by, and then it was off to breakfast. Recently I've been mixing juices in the dining hall because I was getting kind of bored with plain old OJ. My latest combination has been OJ and Cranberry juice, which is surprisingly fantastic. It's also a lovely pink color. Aside from that I only indulged in a bowl of Rice Krispies, which was awesome because they rarely have them. I find it strange, it's a famous cereal in my book. I ate a majority of breakfast alone, which I don't mind all that much. After that I ran to my room to make up my Psych midterm online. I got back at around 11:20AM and kind of rushed through it. I hadn't studied at all and it was a make-up because it was about...3 weeks late? Awful, I know. It wasn't a priority and it should have been. I got a 74%, better than I had thought I would earn seeing as I didn't know the answer to ANY question. So I have about an 83% average in the class, which isn't poor at all! I'll take it!
I had spent the majority of my Psych class eating Pringles out of my bag for breakfast. Oh, I know it's the definition of unhealthy, but I had bought two tins of them last night and if I see them...I can't resist them. They practically call my name and they were yelling at me from inside my bag, so I just had to eat them.
After breakfast and being extremely restless in my room alone for about an hour, I decided to go off on a walk by myself. I didn't have a destination in mind, I kind of liked that. I just started walking downtown and found myself headed to the movie theater to see a movie by myself, I've never done that before. I got completely sidetracked though when I passed "Spirit Dancer Books & Gifts". My roommate Lauren's birthday is coming up and I had yet to get her a gift so I thought I'd take my chances and find something for her in there. I lucked out! I got something really cute and I think she'll really like it. I took my time in there too, because it was so calming and soothing. The music was tranquil and I was surrounded by incense (which I LOVE), candles, and enchanting stones and such. I really love that store now, so I'm glad I stopped in! From the time I entered the store to the time I left it decided to start snowing, HARD. Now you know what I'm talking about when I say the weather is bi-polar. I don't like walking in snow, but I sucked it up and headed back to the dorm for a necessary nap. I really liked walking by myself though, left me to my thoughts. Below I decided to add a picture of my favorite path back into the center of campus. I'm honestly not sure why I love it so much, it's probably because there have been so many significant memories either on the path or near it. I really don't know!
After my nap I headed right into work and spent some bonding time with my coworker, Chris Harris. Funny story is that he gave me my tour two summers ago and now I work with him and he's become a friend! Funny how it worked out. Night calling tonight is brief, RT and I only have 55 people to call to ask if they are going to attend the next Accepted Student's Day on the 16th. Other than that we can call it a night, which is great!
It's the middle of the week and I already can't wait for it to end though because my dad is coming to visit me this weekend! During Spring Break I think I only saw him once, so it will be SO nice to see him and spend some time with him this weekend between now and when the semester ends and I'm home for the summer. Sometimes it really dawns on me that my first year of college is almost over...it went by INCREDIBLY fast and yet it lasted so long that I can't remember life in Andover as clearly. It all comes back easily when I go home, but Burly has really really really become my home and I don't like to leave it and what I have here. Not to say I don't have things worth wanting back at home! I love going home! But I'm really loving life in Burly and I plan on staying here for a while after school ends, I've become part of it or more so it's become part of me. Accepting the fact that my first year of college is concluding is scary, I've only got three more years left! I figured it would pass slowly like high school had, but I suppose as you get older, time passes by faster and it certainly is.
