Working Hard

This morning I woke up after only 6 hours of sleep- yes only, I work hard to get my full 8 hours of sleep each night, sick and miserable. I had a test today and I was worried about it, and I have another test on Friday that I am worried about. I guess its all about college right? Anyway, I called my mommy, and she made me feel better. Apparently she wont disown me if I try my hardest and still dont pass with flying colors (always a good thing to be reminded of)! And then I took my Microeconomics test, and I was relieved to realize that I really did know the material, and I am always flattered and happy when people ask me about the material and not only can I explain it, they understand it- something that happened as we were waiting to take the test. Someone told me that economics came naturally to me, and I dont think its necessarily true but I am working at it and I guess maybe its good that it seems that it comes naturally for me? I think so anyway. After the test, which went well, I had my favorite class, Accounting. We got our test that we took last week back. And here is where I am going to brag about myself. The class average was a 61% on this test, not only did I beat the class average, I got a 85%. Its not an A, but it was good considering the class average, and my professor even told me that I did well and gave me a pat on the back. See, life doesnt always beat you down, you occasionally get a nice high five! Needless to say some of my stress was gone!

I got a nice short nap in after lunch and then I got to work on my cell and molecular studying. I am starting to actually enjoy reading textbooks and taking notes, I must be becoming a true student! HAHA. After 2 hours of studying I went to an informational meeting for one of the May term trips that is being offered, and I have to say, that I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO! Its a trip to Greece/Turkey and there are really 2 trips. One is 16 days and is all Greece and the other is 26 days and Turkey gets added in, and really three classes are being taught, theres a philosophy class, a history class and an anthropology class- I am hoping that it will go as a general requirement for me, but if it doesnt then oh well. I have gotten my grandma's permission and now I just have to compose a paragraph or two stating why I want to go, and why they should pick me over other students that are interested.

After that meeting, I was still kind of blitzed from my cell and molec and went to the second half of the boys soccer game. Man, watching that just makes me want to play so bad. I mean I was never great at it but I did have a small passion for it and I think a tiny piece of me will always want to be on a soccer field whenever I see one. But it was really nice to watch, the soccer games can get just as violent and amusing as basketball games! I think one of Transy's players was even bodyslammed by one of the opposing teams players, it was interesting. It rained some and that was refreshing and Transy won 3-1. All goals being scored in the second half. And as my usual I think I got to know the mother of the guy on the team that I think is cute. Funny how I always get to know parents rather than the actual guys, I mean there is good and bad both in doing that! :)

Back to cell and molec then for me. And not only studying but writing a paper, and with 2 other people at that. The good thing is that we all mesh fairly well and we get things done quickly! Anyway, I am feeling better now and I can do this, I just needed a little reassurance- I get kind of needy that way occasionally! I am SO glad though that this weekend is fall break and I get a couple of days to relax, I will be able to recooperate not only from the sickness but also from just going going going so much so fast! And I think I have found a second way to center myself when I am overwhelmed- Sporting events. The soccer game today was just the key to my day! I guess I never realized that I feel better, pumped even after sporting events, soccer and basketball are the drugs of choice but I can go for a baseball game as well! And if you are wondering the other thing that centers me? Its traveling! Something about just getting away from everything makes things better!

And now my cell and molec is calling my name!
