Today is my mom's birthday, and her mom's birthday, and her dad's birthday.
I was five days late.
...ever the family disappointment, right? :)
Today I woke up at 2:30 in the morning because the heater spazzed again. This was not a thing that made me smile.
About an hour and a half later I fell asleep again. This was not a thing that made me smile, although had I been conscious it would have been a possibility.
I actually got up around 8:30. I got ready for the day and started my Russian homework. These were not things that made me smile either.
Then I visited Grace, who lent me a ND hat for my concession stand time slot and also force-fed me Mucinex. This didn't really make me smile until about 2 hours later when I realized that it was maybe possibly actually working.
Then I actually had my concession stand slot, which was a lot of fun, and I met somebody who was a Philosophy-and-Literature minor. I thought that sounded really awesome. I think I might look into that. Plus they get a department-funded week-long study abroad trip to London, which sounds really REALLY awesome. That made me smile.
And then I caught up with some friends, and we watched the Glee Club sing, and then the marching band...! Very smile.
The football game came next, and it belies explanation, because I really don't usually get "into" sports at all, but there is something about losing two games in really miserable and humiliating ways, then beating a team everybody was so certain would kill you... and beating them badly. I think I smiled somewhere amongst the screaming.
Then we had dinner and just hung out, and now I am sitting in my dorm room with my Russian homework and listening to Christmas music. I kinda wish I were up for another three-hour game of Apples to Apples that is going on with my friends over in another dorm across campus, but you must keep in mind that I AM still sick, and I DO really want to be able to go to church tomorrow. So I will satisfy myself with sitting around here for now :)
