I found out that I was going to have to work this weekend, when I had planned on going home for the three day weekend. I was both happy and mad. I was mad because I was planning on going home for the weekend because I had plans with the friends for my home town, and now I have to cancel on them. On the other hand I was kind of happy that I have to work, because that just means more hours go toward my pay check. I could always use the extra money.
ReplyDeleteTuesday I went to the horse races at the Duqoin State Fair. I placed a six dollar bet on two horses to finish first and second. At the end of the race my horses came in first an second. When I went to turn in my betting slip I found that I only won three fifty on my six dollar bet. Needless to say I was a little mad, somehow I kept from blowing up at the teller, seeing that it was not his fault.
ReplyDeleteI started out the school year thinking that I had a decent schedule, however pretty tough. Come Monday, I was told that I was in a class that I didn't need and there was a similar class that I did need. Needless to say, I wanted out of the harder class that I didn't need and I began to go through the process of switching. And come to find out, there was only one time slot for the new class which was already taken by another class I am in. Having to go through the the process of switching classes and getting signatures, then adding a new class has been a bit of a hassle. It almost makes me want to change my mind and not even deal with switching classes. I will definitely think twice about switching or dropping classes next time!
ReplyDeleteI did not take classes over the summer, I worked and then went out and partied every night so getting back into the swing of having to get up early has been very difficult for me. My roommate is not taking classes this semester and still wants to go out every night! I being the person I am have a hard time telling her no when she wants to go. Tuesday night I went out with her, had an 8am biology lab wed morning and had to work that night. While I was at work I realised that it is not summer anymore and I can't do this to myself, I have to stop partying and start getting more sleep!
ReplyDeleteOne reaction I had this week was disgust. I was walking from my last class to my car on Tuesday afternoon, and although I had walked the same path that morning, I was distracted by a phone call with my sister. As I took a step, (what seemed like) hundreds of flies dispersed from a dead mouse. The mouse had not attracted all of those flies that morning, so it did not bring out that reaction until later when I was caught completely unaware. The flies meant the mouse was decaying, and I was gagging and screeching into the phone, much to the chagrin of my sister. Needless to say, I was grateful that the mouse was off of the sidewalk today as I went to and from my classes.
ReplyDeleteOne situation that I come across often, which kindles different thoughts and feelings is seeing a person with a disability goiing about his/her educaton goals. I truly admire them for the simple fact that they aren't letting anything get in the way of their goals. It gives me a strong feeling of respect towards someone I don't even know. Like volunteering for Special Olympics, it makes you feel good to help those who you respect.
ReplyDeleteOn Wednesday I was overwelmed with human hospitality. I witnessed a older woman, probably around 50 come out of McDonalds near walmart on 13. She was carrying a rather large McDonald's bag filled with food. I watched her walkd across the street to a homeless man sitting on the corner next to his shopping cart. She handed him the bag, smiled, and simply turned around and walked away. The homeless man stared at the bag in his hands for a couple moments, stunned, and suddenly dove in to most likely the first meal he had all day. I walked around the rest of the day with a smile on my face, just happy to be alive.
ReplyDeleteA mood that I felt this week was frustration. I signed up for intraumurals flag football with my friends. The season starts on next Tuesday, but we had our preseason practice game today. I was so pumped to score some touchdowns and dominate on defense. The game started and our team was very confused with the rules. The ref's called three penalties on me the first possesion of the game. After this our quarterback was absolutly awefull. He bombed every pass to his best friend in the end zone every single play. He threw a total of 6 interceptions and never attempted to throw me the ball once. I was very pissed off from the poor quarterback choices. Other than this my week has been awesome.
ReplyDeleteI felt both relief and frustration as I left class on Thursday. I was frustrated by the fact that it is hard to understand one of my teachers and she teaches a very difficult class. However, I was also relieved when I left because I had caught on to what she was saying and I can relax on this 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteA feeling that I encountered this week was frustration and fascination. During the school year I believed I was going to be able to do multiple tasks at once. I thought I would be able to manage my classes, attend tennis, work and still have time to hang out with friends. Unfortunately that was not the case. I became overwhelmed with things to do and later found out that having a job at this point in time is not a clever idea. As well, I am impressed by the many whom are able to do so many activities at once and manage to do well in school, take care of children, hold jobs, etc.
ReplyDeleteA couple days ago, one of my roommates and I tried to pawn our t.v. They wouldn't take it so we put the t.v. in the kitchen and hooked up the original Nintendo System to it. The next day I was playing Super Mario Bros. 3 for about 2 hours and was at the end of the 6th world until I had to go to class. When I got back from class I started playing it for about 15 seconds when the game reset on me. Needless to say, I was angry and dissapointed.
ReplyDeleteThe other day a very good friend came up and was planning on staying for a few days. She got in about 8pm on wednesday and was planning on staying until friday afternoon. I had planned my whole week around hanging out with her and planned some fun things to do. Then around 10pm, she got a call from her place of work and they said she had to be into work at 10am on thursday. It made me sad and disappointed that I was going to have to just continue the same old routine of school and work, and not get to hang out with her.
ReplyDeleteThis past week I performed in my very first Greek event. I was very nervous and skeptical to do so. As the show approached rapidly my nerves began to get the best of me. My heart was pounding and my stomach was in huge knots. However, I made it through with very minor mess ups. Afterwards, I watched a recording of the show and my first reaction was "wow I didn't do that bad after all."
ReplyDeleteThis week, I have been very busy with work, school, and going to all the rush events for my fraternity. I haven't had time to really relax this week, which has caused me to be a little stressed out. I love being busy but sometimes I just need a moment to have so I can relax
ReplyDeleteWell, in this past week, one thing that got to me was a school situation. I registered for an internet course at John A. Logan. However, this week I found out that they had kicked me out of the class the next day after I was added because they said I hadn't made a payment on the class. How was I suppose to know that I had to make a payment on something that I wasn't even sure if I had gotten into yet because I was waiting on the instructor to approve me. This incident kind of got my fire going, only a tad bit though because it usually takes a lot to make me angry.
ReplyDeleteThis week I have been busy with RSO's and school, so I have been a little stressed. For one or two hours a day I like to sit down, relax, and watch some tv. Wednesday my mediacom box went out, and has not been up since. I called mediacom that day and they told me they can't send anyone out until next week. It made me really mad because I am still paying for this service and it does not work. On top of that I would rather just worry about school work and not have to worry about the cable situation.. so that is frusturating
ReplyDeleteone reaction i had was shock. i went to my girlfrends car to get some food from walmart and her car wouldnt start. my impression was that it needed a jump. my sudden thought was that i go to get some jumping cables and go jump the car using my roomates car. and i wasnt in a good mood after because that wasnt the problem, it was her starter.
ReplyDeleteI was working, which was at an Alzheimer’s unit, when I stopped to take note on the individuals that I was having the privilege to work with. I instantly was struck with sadness as before as this group would never be in a better state any day than the day i see them slowly digressing every time I returned. Then I saw other staff members talking to them and running programs and I realized I was the only one sad for it in the back of my mind. They were plenty happy just to have us around; it was truly a sweet irony.
