Roller Coaster

Most days are what I guess you could call roller coaster rides. Lots of ups and downs, and waiting, exciting and tiring, kind of sickening sometimes, and hopefully surrounded by people you want to be riding with. Today was no exception.

Ups:
  1. I got a job. That's what's up. (well, I'm about 98% I got one. But i'm counting it.)
  2. I donated blood. Why is that something I like doing? I guess one reason is because I like to help people, but I actually kind of like the whole process. Weird.
  3. I cleaned out my fish's bowl without killing him. This may seem like something that should be a given, but I have been traumatized before by accidental fish deaths.
  4. The day had an overall good vibe to it.
  5. I did not get lost going to the lab I will work at. I once spent about an hour looking for (it really doesn't help when they have to keep their location unmarked and on the DL) but this time I was a champ.
Downs:
  1. I totally spaced my chem lab lecture in which we were taking a quiz. I really hate to use the "drop the lowest quiz score" on my very first one. Worst.
  2. My chemistry discussion not only made things more confusing for my test which is on Friday, but succeeded in highlighting my obvious lack of calculus (and possibly basic algebra) skills. Awesome. (side note: what are the chances that one of my readings for humor class found it necessary to incorporate calculus shorthand in their research? Apparently high enough to happen to me.)
  3. I realized I will probably be stressed every single day until the end of the semester. Which I guess is also called "life."
  4. I look like a poodle.
  5. Oh wait, that is just how I always look.
  6. Making this list made me realize that the day was mostly up and I'm feeling pretty good about life. Transfer this item to first list.
Unrelated: You know how you have those songs that you've heard but then all of the sudden you really listen, and you realize you love it? That is this song today. Enjoy if you want. I've probably listened to it enough times for a few people if not. For some reason 1:20 to 1:35 is just really doin it for me today.
