just one of those days...

As the saying goes, "its the little things that mean the most". The little things do add up and can enhance your life that much more. However, it can also have the reverse effect. Wednesdays are typically a good day for me. I get to sleep in, I only have one class, and I usually go to the arc and play some basketball. As I arrive to my first class I realize that I lost a shoe. Yes A SINGLE SHOE. I go to the gym after class so I just bring my running shoes in my basket. Then I head to class and we get the results from our first midterm. I got a B-. I had put in a lot of time into preparing for the test so it I was pretty upset when I got the results. It's really demoralizing when the results don't reflect the time you put in. It's just really depressing cause its actually the first time I'm actually trying too and this is what I get? After class, I head out to the gym w/ Darwin and I had the shittiest work out. It was ridiculously busy and it took forever to get on any machines and in turn I was very lackadaisical in my workout. Working out is suppose to release endorphins and make me feel better! Not today though. Not today.

After the gym, I just head back to the apartment and just play some video games. What better way to escape reality then to enter the virtual one?! It didn't really help. I still couldn't get my mind off that stupid test and the death of my running shoe, which I might add, were fairly brand new.

The best part of my day was talking to my parents. I just let out all my frustration. My mom told me not to be too hard on myself and as long as I pass then I should be ok. I mean, if I don't plan to go to grad school I just need to pass. I expect more from myself and I would like to at least have the option of going to grad school. My parents are paying 3000 dollars a quarter for me to attend this school so I owe to them to do better.

I just need my batteries recharged. Marias coming this weekend so it'll be nice to see her. I have one more midterm on Thursday (its my hardest one too) and then I'm going home. I haven't been home in what seems like forever. In actuality, its only been a month and a week. I am really really really looking forward to it.

Every so often, you're gonna have one of those days. I'm very fortunate that not many of these days come my way but I just wish today wasn't one of them.
