Today was an odd day with lots of strange combinations of events. Also lots of combinations of emotions, most of them edging on the angst-y side... but I feel like today was an important day. Not bad... just peculiar.
I started out by having an awful dream that I didn't realize that I was in Stats until after we got back after Spring Break and I was so behind and knew I was gonna fail, and I was just in the basement of Whiteman Gibbs SOBBING for an hour or so. Then I woke up and laid out in the sun for an hour. I didn't think it was doing much, but I definitely did get a little color, particularly in my cheeks. It feels so good to feel the sun in my skin. I also got my promise ring today :) That made me excited. And it fits! My mom got it for me for Christmas but we had a lot of trouble getting the size right. But it's all good now. My mom and I headed to Howell outlet mall today, which was actually rather exhausting and frustrating. I simply wanted a one-piece swimsuit, some flip flops, some capris, shoes for camp, and a nice sun dress. This turned out to be much more complicated than I realized. After the first hour or so at the mall, all I had purchased were Old Navy flip flops and capris from Aeropostale which I could have just as easily acquired at Meridian Mall which is much closer than Howell. At that point, my mom gave me a 15 minute warning, which really turned into an hour, but nonetheless, I covered quite a bit of ground in that hour. It was kind of like speed shopping. My mom likes that kind of shopping, but I find it much less enjoyable and more exhausting. I swear I tried on just about every dress in the entire outlet, but they pretty much all seemed to be hiding the fact that I have any body shape at all (maternity dress-like). So that was a bust. But I did find camp shoes, a tasteful one-piece swimsuit, and some shoes for camp. On top of that, I also found some replacement adidas sandals for the ones I lost at a very good price. So that redeemed the frustration of the process a little.
After that, my mom and I scurried off to the church for Eve's Angels Bible study, but I want to get into that later because I want to get all of the superficially stuff over with. The stuff that doesn't really matter. As predicted, my bracket is A MESS!!! All the upsets I picked didn't happen, and all the ones I didn't pick, or came REALLY close to picking, did happen. And Michigan State lost :( :( :( They were down 23 in the second half and came within one but couldn't quite finish it. It was a heartbreaker. But that's how my basketball luck went today. *sigh* Better luck next year. It figures that the year I don't have choir tour and wouldn't have to fight so hard to get a tv is the year they don't even make it past the first round. Okay. Done grumbling.
