Day Twenty-Six: Your Week In Great Detail

Friday, February 19th, 2010:

On Friday, I got up and went to classes as I normally do. I slugged my way through English 1000, French 1200, and Abnormal Psychology in the hope that the rest of the day would make up for it. After classes, I went shopping with SCAM for the remainder of the things we would need for the Farc Formal. After that, I came home and grabbed some dinner from Twain. Then, we hung out in here and watched the Olympics and things like that. I gave Jessy my super disgusting apple juice, which she loved.

On Saturday, I woke up with the intense urge to go home. Not for the weekend, but just for a couple of hours to see my family. So I hauled ass into the shower and ended up making it home within two hours of waking up. It was incredible to see the look on my mom's face when I got back. I spent the day with my Mom, my Great-Grandma, my great-aunts, and my little cousins. And then around 5:30 I got back in my car and drove home in order to make it back here in time for the Formal. It snowed and was awful on the drive back, but I was okay. The dance was incredible, even if it took me awhile to get comfortable enough to dance. It wasn't the best turn out, but it was enough to make it super fun.

Sunday, February 21st, 2010:

On Sunday, I woke up with the intention of studying, which lasted for about two hours and exactly enough time to read a chapter in my psychology book. Then, I was desperately hungry so Kee, Jessica and I took off for Chinese. Which was absolutely delicious. Then, we stopped by Petco, which is usual when we're over in that area. Jessica ended up falling in love with a guinea pig, and Kee fell in love with two mice. Both of which ended up coming home with us. I spent the rest of the afternoon setting up the guinea pig and babysitting while Jessy was at work. Then, I went to the underground cafe and met up with Grace for a write-in that as usual, didn't turn into much of a write-in.

Monday, February 22nd, 2010:

On Monday, I got up and went to classes like I always do. I dragged myself through the awfulness that is Monday in the hope that the day would get better. It didn't. I hate every day before Wednesday. I came home and amused myself by playing with Jessy's guinea pig, Kanye. Then, I went to dinner at Plaza 900. After that, I went to a meeting about a potential summer internship.

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010:

On Tuesday, I went to my two favorite classes. I came home in the afternoon and wrote until I couldn't feel my hand - or my heart - anymore. I kept going and eventually came out with something incredible. I went to Walmart with Kee and Jessica and decided that I refuse to drive them around anymore. I came back and had an awful night. I hate Tuesdays.

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010:

On Wednesday, I woke up jittery and excited. I couldn't handle the wait any longer. I wanted to be at the Underground with my friends, enjoying being there and being alive. Classes were long and dull and I could barely stand them. Finally, that afternoon I went down to the Underground to play Apples to Apples with Liz, Noah, Grace, and Abe. It was so much fun. I had a grilled cheese like I always do and accompanied by a chocolate shake. I hung out with Grace and talked to her after everyone else left.

Thursday, February 25th, 2010:

On Thursday, I woke up and went to classes like I always do. I ended up turning down the Southwestern Internship, just because I couldn't handle being away from Missouri for that long. Hell, I don't even want to leave Columbia anymore, let alone go to the East Coast. Immediately after class, I took off for Malissie and Dennis' house, and as soon as I got there I expressed what a beautiful day it was, and we took off to the park. At the park, we walked around and climbed some rocks. We "skipped" rocks on the ice. We played on the playground. We walked. It was good to get outdoors. The sunshine makes me feel more alive. Then we headed back to their apartment and watched Harry Potter and ate tuna noodle casserole. It was the best.

Friday, February 26th, 2010:

Today, I went to classes like I always do. It was relieving to see how warm and wonderful it was. I proclaimed it to be the best day ever, and sure enough it was. After classes, I came back here and hung out until it was time for dinner, which I had with Becky and Yolanda. After that, I headed down to the Underground (are you seeing a theme these days?) with Grace and her friend Alison. Soon, it got too crowded so we took off for Panera after Liz and Noah met up with us. We stayed at Panera until close, and I had my first cup of coffee/caffeine since I stopped drinking it a few weeks ago. It made me REALLY hyper. After Panera closed, Liz and Noah went home, and Grace and I headed to the Underground with her dad. It was Latin dance night, but somehow we managed to tune them out long enough to write for about an hour and a half. When I finally got home, it was almost eleven and I was so happy.
