First Day of Classes

Today is the first day of senior year... I woke up at 845AM and decided I wanted to make the 9AM class at the gym- that set the day off right. I then drove downtown to my internship to have my supervisor fill out a few forms- just to finalize everything. I then came back to my apartment- I ate a really healthy salad and then went on to campus to drop the papers off, talk to some professors, went to the CAIC office to re-register the sorority- that took 30 minutes! Ran into some friends at the library- talked- printed stuff- got back in my car- made it home- folded laundry- and did odd things around the apartment.

So here's the thing- I have noticed that I have been doing a lot nicer things for people and being more patient. For instance, more than once today I actually waited and held the door open for someone. In the CAIC office the girl before me computer died and she couldn't get on and register her organization. I could have just jumped on the computer because I was sitting right next to it but instead I let her go in front of me. I even found a nickel on the sidewalk yesterday- the day before that- a penny. So all in all I am 6 cents richer, nicer, and happier.

I made dinner for my room mate and friend last night- which was very tasty. I even bought wine, garlic bread, and all the stuff for the dinner.

I have had this wierd obsessions with wanting to paperclip everything together- possibly because I am trying to get more organized. Last semester I discovered at the print station (while trying to staple) there is a little holder that houses paperclips- these other wierd clip things- pencils and something else- so today I nonchalantly grabbed a handful of paperclips. Is it stealing? I mean if I noticed it last year- you figure they owe me for all of the other paperclips that I hadn't taken the 2 and a half years prior- so pretty much it is legit- right?

I noticed that I am being more positive lately because honestly- through my experiences from the sorority I have realized that things WILL work themselves out! You know, it's not all life and death out there! Things tend to work out for the best- even if at the time they don't seem like it. For instance- last year when we had this whole "Who's going to live in the suite?" incident- and the pressure was on- I freaked out- but hey- now we just pay for the rooms- no big deal- it's equally distributed- whatever- and Sally (my car) upgrades to Magenta parking (pretty much everywhere on campus)...so hey- it cost me an extra 100$ or so but in the grand scheme of life- I am happy and I will excel this year because I am in a good living environment (also 15 minutes from main campus and 10 from my internship) so there ya have it- it all works out.

My first class on the first day of school begins at 6:30PM...I may be dropping it later- who knows but for now- I am going to get ready for class and run a few more errands before class.

Happy First Day of Classes!
