This day is absolutely beautiful. I can’t even take it. For real, I had forgotten what nice weather actually feels like. And today, I was graciously reminded! I started a post yesterday, it was kind of sad, so, I am not even going to bother with it. Besides, on a day like this, sunny and divine, who can really have a bad day? My friend Austen and I were talking, and we decided that people who love winter/cold are just plain crazy. Seriously, during the winter months, I don’t even feel my extremities. I have to shower in order to have adequate blood flow to my hands and feet. It’s dreadful. So, needless to say, I am delighted that gorgeous weather is finally on its way. Although, we must be wary because I think this heartwarming sunshine is only making a brief appearance and quickly, moving on (kind of like Chelsea Clinton…hmm). Anyhoo, it’s going to get a little chilly and rainy again until we see the majesty of the sun once more. I guess, just to be optimistic, it gives us something to look forward too. However, I do hope and earnestly pray we are able to experience longer stints of nice climate for the remainder of the spring semester. It’s fantastic fun to be outside with everyone to simply relax.
On a similar note, I now only have 12 credits. Kind of unfortunately, I had to drop my chemistry class. Much to my dismay, I was not earning the grade I wanted, and it was becoming quite a serious burden. Constant worry and angst clouded my mind when I thought about that class. Since I had been sick during the first exam, causing me to fail miserably because I could not finish it, my grade in the class was semi-low. I did well on the second exam, but not well enough to bring my grade to my desired grade. Suddenly, the third exam was looming, and knowing I would probably do only mediocre on that one as well, I decided, you know, I do not need this class to graduate or for my major. Promptly, I dropped it. It was quite liberating, but at the same time kind of embarrassing. I do not like to “fail” at things, especially when it comes to academics, but I just decided–”get over yourself, man. It’s okay to not be the best at everything. At least you’d given it a try.” So, the moral of the story is this: I only have 12 credits (whether I like it or not), and I have a lot of free time. Wrapping it up, I am going enjoy every last second of this semester and spend hours and hours with friends doing fun things. If it is sunny, I am going to be in the sun. If something fun is going on, I’ll be there. I am going to make the best out of what looked like a bleak situation….LET’S HAVE FUN PEOPLE!
Anyways, it’s been fun. I am going to go–have to do some research on mild traumatic brain injury (concussions, in lay terms). Then I am going to play some ultimate frisbee for which I am profusely excited (pray for me though; the last time I enjoyed a game of ultimate frisbee, I walked away with a collapsed lung)! Oh, and tonight is bothhhhhhhh American Idol and The Office! Oh baby, baby. So fun. This is probably the best day. Ever. Until I get married to the most beautiful girl ever, then that will be the best day. Well, everyday is great though too….you get my drift. Okay, for real now, I love you all, friends. I pray God’s joy, peace, and love are abundant in all you do. Hope to see you soon! Take care now!
Cheers and love,
Anthony J.
