February 17th, what a roller coaster of a day you are.
It started out very well. I woke up early and I was able to take my time getting ready and eating breakfast. My class went exceptionally well…I received an A on my Abnormal Psych exam, and my Statistics professor asked if I would tutor another student in class…I said yes of course, but I was so taken back because I went into this semester absolutely terrified of this class..math has never been a friend of mine, but it turns out its one of my strongest fields at the moment. I’m very grateful for the opportunity, and I truly hope I can help this kid out.
On another note…
I had a minor breakdown today outside of school. Time and time again, the money aspect of life haunts my thoughts and I get caught in a cycle of.. “I need to pay for this and that and this and that and this is due then and that is due soon and I need to eat and I need gas in my car and OMG what about graduate school one day and…” it goes on and on.
I called my mom. In the past our communication was restricted by our attitudes and lack of empathy for the other…but as my behavior and attitude changed, our relationship improved. To sum up our conversation, she said that everything is a challenge and nothing comes easy, but we always find a way to make it through. Take one step at a time, don’t think too far ahead. One payment now, another payment later, and it will smooth out soon enough, but I need to have patience.
It was a great conversation…it only lasted a few minutes but it was exactly what I needed. I went for a 30 minute run, and when I got home I took a nice hot shower, made myself coffee, and now I’m relaxing my mind and body before I go to work tonight.
Everything will be alright, because I am going to make it alright.
