So today I woke up thinking that I was going to go to work. However, being carless for the next week, I couldn't really do much by myself to get there. I called my boss and for the sake of not wasting a WHOLE bunch of time telling the story, I didn't go to work today. I stayed at home and got a ton of stuff done. This sounds good, but do not be fooled. While the first couple hours were quite productive, by early afternoon I was quite lonely (both the roomies were gone. sad.), no one would answer their phone, and I was quite literally stuck at home. Oh geez. What was I to do? Clean of course! So whilst in quite the state of despair, my room is looking much better. While all of this was going on--the being by myself and all--compounded with the horrendous night I had, my day was not going so well. But then, I had a saving grace of sorts in the form of a delightful friend calling. We proceeded to go shopping, pick up some food, eat at my house, and had an all-around delightful time.
Also a delightful time was tonight when the aforementioned friend took "The Cable Man" out of the DVD player and snapped it in half. The world is now a better place. If you have never seen that movie, I would suggest keeping it that way. If you have, you have my deepest and most sincere apologies. Seriously. You do. Terrible movie.
Moving on, in the previous post I mentioned that I would expound on what I learned this year. Here goes...
1. Be yourself for yourself and not for anyone else.
2. Hiding emotions is not always the best route to take.
3. Life isn't about big accomplishments. It is about all of the little moments, conversations, inside jokes, spontaneous plans, and utter surprises that can be thrown at us. It sounds cliched and corny, but seriously, we will never remember what we did in class or at work on a specific day, but we will remember the one time that we skipped out and caused mayhem and whatnot.
4. It's good to move on, but only when the time is right. Because this is a list of what
I have learned, I'll expound a little more on this. When this happened to me, I started chucking stuff. I was moving on with my life and simplifying in the process. Thanks to this little change, my room and car (contrary to popular belief and physical evidence) are much less cluttered and I am much happier. I don't know if this is actually a correlation but that's ok. :)
5. People are generally interesting. I read a quote that said something along the lines of "Everyone that is interesting has a past that made them that way". Indeed, anonymous scholar, indeed. Even if a person does not seem that interesting at first, they will become more so with time. It's true.
Ok, that's all I've got for now. I'm spent :) If I think of anything else I'll throw it on the end of the list.
