Today was just one of those days...
It started out great: woke up at 5:30 and spent some time in the Word and then went on a wonderful 5 mile run at 6:30. It was a beautiful morning!
Other than my early morning, today was not the best of days. So many things went wrong, but looking back on them I find some humor in it all and I hope you can too.
It all started when I forgot my clicker in psychology. It wasn't a huge deal, and I didn't let it get me down. I got a little more anxious when I was almost late to physiology because the teacher counts off if you're late. Fortunately I made it to class with a couple minutes to spare due to some pro speed walking.
Things really started to get worse after that. I'm taking an online class and for our tests, we can only take them from 3:30-4:30 on the day they are posted online. Today was a test day. I walked back to my apartment after class ended at 3:15 only to find that I was locked out. I did not have access to my computer or my book. One roommate was in Tupelo, another was in lab, and the other is never around. I had no way of getting in. So, I had another speed-walking session to the library to take the test on a computer there. Fortunately, I was able to take the test, but I had to guess on everything since I didn't have my book. I was really bummed after making a 75 on that test. However, I knew there was nothing I could have done to do better on the test without my book, so I didn't dwell on it and began to look forward to my afternoon run.
I got back to my apartment at 4:30, and it was still locked! I had text one roommate earlier and she said she would be back by 5:00, so I just decided to soak up some sun sitting by my door until she got back. I was able to catch up with one of my good friends from home on the phone during this time, which was great! 5:00 came...and no roommate. I kept waiting, enjoying the beautiful weather and studying my bible verses. Finally, at 5:45, I was able to get in my apartment!
What a day! I really have laughed about a lot of this stuff. I still wish I did better on that stupid test, but there isn't anything I can do about it now, so I will just have to work hard the rest of this semester to pull up that grade.
The whole story sounded a lot better in my head, but hopefully you enjoyed it! If not, then sorry for a boring, detailed post.
I see the doctor tomorrow to get blood work done. I am praying that this blood work will show what's wrong and that God will give the doc wisdom about diagnosis and treatment.

did you get my text today? oh, i remember the days of struggling to make things work for classes. i used to completely stress out, and i wish that i was as mature as you and handled situations with more perspective. trust me, that 75 won't affect you for long!
if you didn't get my text, i told you about my saturday. i wanted to come watch you run (even though you weren't happy with your race, i'd love to see you run!) but cj has been teething. without details, i'm exhuasted and saturday is the only day that i can get in a longer nap because kert is home. the morning nap (b/c of feedings) is the only time to do it. so...i'll have to catch you next time you're in town. please keep me posted on your results.
i am so sorry you didn't have the greatest of days, those come from time to time. i guess the way i look at it is it makes me appreciate those "perfect" days just that much more. you know what....you made my day complete when i saw you running. i was on my way to strange brew to slave over some OWL hw. BLAHHH. you looked great running, so strong. i hope you are feeling better, as a whole.
you light up my life, and i am so blessed to know you and call you my friend.
