I made it to my class on time because I am lucky enough to have an awesome new bike (courtesy of Cherise). So, I was able to ride down the street and to the Smith Fieldhouse in six minutes with about four minutes leftover to walk into the building and into the correct classroom. Luckily, my first class went pretty smoothly. My second class went okay as well. Though, I didn't have the reading done for that class either. And, I am always freezing in that class, so that did not help my attitude either.
I then had 3 1/2 hours to do most of my reading and write in my journal and read my scriptures. I started on the first floor of the Harold B. Lee Library. I sat in a chair doing my New Testament homework when a creepy looking bug was crawling on my leg. I calmly flicked it off and resumed my homework. After a few minutes, another creepy bug was crawling on the arm of the chair that I was sitting in. It crawled out of my view to shortly crawl back up the arm. So, I wiped my backpack off, gathered my books and pens, and stood up and walked away. I continued to wipe off my pants and my back because I was paranoid. I then climbed the stairs to the second floor. I entered the Family History area and headed to the far right of the library. I was then able to start my homework. I didn't finish any of it. Also during my 3 1/2 hours of reading, I realized that I had not submitted the topic of my term paper that I have to write for my Human Biology class. This realization was discouraging. Why? The topic was supposed to be submitted by 5 p.m. on Friday, September 14.
After my underachieving reading time, I went to my ASL class at four o' clock. I then had to put my glasses on because my sight was blurry from reading continuously for such a long period of time. I managed to survive the last class of the day. I walked home because I did not want to pedal my bicycle up the slight incline with a heavy backpack. So, I trudged.
Two hours. I had two hours to eat food (since I ate only two granola bars at school), finish my reading, and type some quizzes for my communications class.
Throughout all of this time, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., my life was filled with sighs, moaning, heaving, and groaning. Suprisingly, I had a pretty good sandwich when I got home. After dinner, I set up my equipment in the family room. I put my headphones on as I started to type.
I chose to put on Christmas music. I listened to Mormon Tabernacle Choir, SheDaisy, Josh Groban, David Archuleta, and Mannheim Steamroller. I want to say that I love Christmas music. I was able to finish the rest of my day with a better attitude even though I still did not get all of my reading done.
I hope that we can all find our happy place. It is not always the same depending on the day. Sometimes, we just have to talk to someone. Sometimes we may have to go play tennis, basketball, or hockey. We may just go for a run. And sometimes, we need to put on some music. In my case, Monday required Christmas music.
Here are some songs for anyone that may need some cheering.
I am sorry that there are not "fun" videos that go along with the music, but I primarily wanted to put the songs up. I don't know how to just put the song on the blog, so I am sorry. Thanks.
Love, Cami
P.S. Today is talk like a pirate day.
