This morning I woke up much too early. I had to sit through 2 classes that seemed to drag on for hours. I failed a test. Surely today would not be the best day of my life. Then something changed. I said to myself "it's not about the experiences, it's about the attitude. Cheer up! Life is all about how you choose to see it." So I did!
First I decided to look at some positives going on in my life: I've got a healthy, normally-functioning body. I can use my arms, legs, eyes, ears, and mind. I've got no room to complain! I failed a test, yes, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world - just study harder and move on. Some people were never blessed to have even a high school education, why should I complain? I've got some money in the bank - some people don't have a penny to their name, so why should I complain about being so broke?
Next I decided to remedy some of my sorrows; I went shopping. I bought one shirt that I think looked absolutely great on me, and I'm saving it for my date in California with Tim. (Did I mention the date before?) Other than that I didn't spend much, but I found some great items that I'd like to pick up if they ever go on sale!
After my shopping trip I did some laundry - desperately needed! Walking back to my apartment from the laundry room (no laundry in hand, thankfully) I ran into George. :) Nothing amazing happened... but it was nice to see him and chat for just a second or two. I thought that would be the highlight of the day, but I was definitely mistaken.
Tonight we had a ward girls' choice dinner date for Valentine's Day. I took a guy that I've had a semi-crush on for a while - Scott. We had a great time! We talked and had so much fun playing the games the ward set up. Then as the ward party was finishing up and everyone in the car I came with decided it was time to leave there was an announcement made for ward basketball after the party. Scott and I talked about it just a little - I didn't have any desire to go to play basketball, in fact, I really don't like the sport. But Scott said he'd probably go, and kind of hinted to me that he'd like to see me there (at least, that's how I took it). So Charlee reminded me that I gave her permission last time to "twist my arm to get me to go". So I had my excuse - I had to go! In reality it was much more of a pleasure than a pain - I got to see some friends, and I'm going to be honest - I enjoyed playing! Amazing. I also really enjoyed the fact that I could sit in between games and watch Scott shoot hoops and occasionally catch him looking at me too. I could be trying to make something out of this that really isn't there... but who knows!
Basically, today was one of the best days of my college life so far! :)
