Rewriting Herstory

So... I've realized that I've missed two days this month. I suck.

Yesterday wasn't that bad. I didn't do much. Crossed a lot of things off of my list of things to do. I have clean clothes because I finally got to do laundry. But I guess I had to because I had to pack.

Cause for a smile:

Today had to be the most hassleistic day ever. YES, I KNOW I TOTALLY MADE UP THAT WORD. But it was the only word I felt could describe my ordeal.

So, first of all, my friends and I were stuck in traffic on the way to the airport which made me think that I was going to be late. But then I got a phone call from the airlines saying that my flight was delayed. Point for me.

So, I get to the airport and check in all of my stuff. When I get to the gate, they say that I'm on standby. I have to wait until they board everyone to see if I can get on the flight. Point for airlines.

I don't get on my original flight, but I get reimbursed twice the amount of my fare because of it. Point for me.

They say that I'm going to get on a flight at 7 (my original flight was at 5). I get on a flight at 5:45. Point for me.

They were calling my name for awhile, but I didn't hear them, so I got a stern talking to. Point for them.

When I land in my Oakland, I missed my connecting flight to LA. Point for airlines.

I'm put on another standby list. Point for airlines.

I go to the gate and talk to the people. They give me a seat on the plane. Point for me.

And I'm ready to pass out!

BUT...

The end result?

I'm in California, with my family.

And considering all of the hassle and frustration, I was only an hour off schedule. 

I could not ask for more.

So, this is going to be an amazing Spring Break.

I just needed to get away from Oregon for a few days. Away from drama, away from the campus.

I am excited.

But this will be legendary.

And now I'm tired from my epic trip.

Good night.

First of all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FRIEND TSD!!!

I hope you had a good one, and I'm sorry that I missed it. Again. I'm a horrible friend.

Today was the first day of school. Well, for me at least. I missed the first official day of school, which is unfortunate because the first homework I have that's due tomorrow is on all of the stuff that was learned on the first day. One day back, and I'm already behind.

I played basketball for the first time in a long long long time. I honestly thought that I was going to die as I was playing. As soon as I got into the gym today, I was asked to run a pick up game. I initially went into the gym to play volleyball, so I was wearing volleyball shoes. Like an idiot, I was adamant about running full court. In the first ten minutes, I wanted to lie down. I felt like my brain was in my nose. But as soon as I got through the pain and exhaustion, I was okay with running a lot more games. I just know that I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I just seriously wished that I was wearing the right shoes. 

I gave one of my friends a book that I found over the summer. It was a book that was able to make me laugh out loud in a public place. That doesn't happen often. I mean, I usually books that make me chuckle, but I laughed, out loud, on a bus. The friend I let borrow my book could breathe and he was only 9 pages into the book.

The weirdest thing happened to me today while I was taking a shower. So, I was washing my hair like I usually do when I sweat. And then I totally stepped out without washing myself with soap. It was the weirdest thing. Like i just forgot to use soap. I actually had to grab my soap to see if it was used. So I had to jump back in so I could soap up. That's never happened before... I'm still a little in shock about it.

Cause for a smile:

I got to play basketball, which is my favorite sport to play. I also got to hang out with my friends from college that I didn't see during my Christmas break. I also sat in a car that ran into a pothole and it sounded like something exploded. It made me smile because we were all scared and were so confused as to why it happened. I guess it is a 'You had to be there' kind of story. Still funny though. And I got to enjoy a book being read out loud to me. At least, as much as I could comprehend through my friend's laughter. I love it...

But I have to finish my homework.

So long and good night
