As I sit here in awe of how evocative some singers can be (i.e. Gavin DeGraw), it catalyzed a thought. (of course, that’s how everything with me gets started). I have not only realized that it’s the little things that count in life, but I have now begun to experience it even more deeply than before. And even though it may not seem like a pinnacle, but to me it does, I am in awe. Maybe, it is just this day, but right now I am euphoric. Today was such a blur, but it was still pretty good.
Friday (12 am-11:59 pm)
Because I had a 9am dental appointment for suture removal in Katy, TX, the matriarch decided that it would a good idea to be there on Thursday night instead of driving back and forth. so, I was at the Katy House.
I was bored out of my mind, and I didn’t want to do hw (needed to), and because running makes me feel productive, I decided to do that. I was going to run 1 mile at 12:15 in the morning, and it was the most fabulous 7 minutes that I have experienced in such a long time. There was not one single car to distract me, and the weather was absolutely perfect. I didn’t even have music which would usually bother me, but for that solitary moment, the sound of my feet was enough to just soothe me. I loved it. So, then I started my homework, succeeding. I talked to my friend about lots of things. I wanted to run another mile, but I yawned, so I decided against it. I went to bed at 3am, only having to wake up at 8:30 a.m. Instead, I woke up at 8:45 a.m. No biggie. I ate some breakfast and headed to the dentist. I sat down in the chair, and they saw that I had a bacterial infection on my right lower area; therefore, they didn’t want to take the sutures out quite yet (because there was no dentist in da house). They called in for me to take another weeks worth of penicillin. Gross. (i hate medicine…I don’t even take advil even if I’m in pain. I figure mind over matter works better). I was supposed to have an 8 am appointment on Monday in KATY, and that means driving another time (85 miles one way) :(, but we called a dentist in College Station to see if he could do the same thing, and that’s what happened. I now have a 8 am dental appointment in college station on Monday, and I’m glad that I don’t have to waste so much time just driving for a 5 minute appointment. So, then I went to class, and it was ggrrrrreat. Taryn and I did the “Aisha” dance and laughed about the correlation between hydrogen peroxide and rabies. THEN IT WAS TIME FOR SOME FUN! Kelly and I went out to College Station. We hit up the shops (i.e. Goody, Shoe Carnival, T.J. Max, Walmart, Walgreens, Plato Planet). I had too much fun with that girl, pictures were taken and more memories were made but my favorite shop was Goodwill, where I found a really nice, brand new looking (american eagle) shirt for 95 cents. It fits perfectly, and that brings a smile to my face as large as the continental divide. Then, we ate dinner, which was chinese food from Walmart in the frozen section. It was soooo delicious, really healthy, and only $1.78. We watched March Madness games after that. UT lost against Xavier. :( :( :( :(. Duke beat Illinois. :) . So, all in all, today was one of the best I have had in the past couple of weeks. Awesome. I must go to bed now because this girl (third person) has a busy and fun filled day tomorrow.
