Slow and Steady

Day 1:

Today is day one of my new life. I have decided that I will try to right the wrongs in my life so that maybe my luck will turn around. I will also do something everyday and be more positive in hopes to gain more positive energy.

Today was a slow day- I woke up in Greenville and I went to Andy's with a few of my friends. At about 6PM when I realized I hadn't followed through and did anything terribly nice I got worried. I had an officer meeting at 7PM, which of course I was rushed to get ready for because I was too busy telling my room mate about all the things that have happened to me in the last 10 days and catching up with her. I leave for campus at about 6:45 PM for my meeting and as I am on my way there I begin to mentally brainstorm what I could do for the day that would be nice. I settled for something thoughtful- I stopped at Harris Teeter and bought the officers freshly baked cookies out of the bakery-

However- I get heat flashes when I am about to be late somewhere- I am waiting in the self check out line, had forgotten my student ID *there goes that discount!* and was starting to sweat profusely and silently panicking staring at the clock on the wall. This is the thing about self- check out, it offers the wierdest things, repeats itself and then doesn't believe that you have all of your items in the bag. I have began throwing items on the counter so that it weighs in right- then it asks "are you sure that you have rang everything in?" I press "yes" and then it asks a series of other questions- like it doesn't believe me and then I usually have to have the employee stationed by the self-check out to come over and clear it for me....the employee usually hates their life and is bored beyond belief by this time the super long line in the register over has cleared out and the cashier usually stares.

Not today- I did start to sweat and freak out but I took a deep breath and let the man in front of me go through the 89 questions, be questioned about the items under his non-existent cart, and not accept his dollar bills. I power walked to my car and headed onto campus.

The meeting went really smoothly- everyone seemed to have their stuff together- and I was really excited to see everyone's new ideas for their positions.

Everyone liked the cookies too!

Day one is complete.

Tomorrow I have recruitment practice from 9AM-5PM- I better get to sleep!
