Excitement yesterday, today... and forever?

Whatever, I couldn't think of a better title, so there.

Yesterday in Philosophy I got my paper back with a big 85 on it. That is the lowest grade I have ever received on any school assignment. I'm very much bummed out by the whole experience. My professor told me that I focused too much on how a real Christian should be an existentialist and not enough on Christian existentialism. I guess that made sense to me. I wish I could rewrite the stupid paper.

Last night Andrew and Laura went to a concert. I couldn't go because it was on the opposite side of town from school and I wouldn't have made it in time for anything but the last song or so. Instead I went back to Marianne's to eat dinner and rest by myself. I walked in the front door and there were fluffy white bits of cotton and shreds of plastic wrapping all over the floor. The dogs had obviously destroyed some new item. After sleuthing around I discovered that what they had strewn across 3/4ths of the whole house was a (used) feminine napkin (also known as a "pad"). *sigh* Oh the sacrifices we make for our animals (and the dreams we have of sacrificing them).

This morning I had a class at school related to a scholarship. I completely forgot my parking permit (for parking at the college) so I had to go to the on-campus DPS office to get a day permit. After getting the permit, I had to meet with my instructor in her office before class. Everything went fine until I got into class and realized that I didn't have my purse with me. I excused myself and ran downstairs to the bathroom (thinking maybe I'd left it in there). No purse. Then I checked with lost and found. No purse. I felt terrible, but I figured either someone had turned it in to DPS or I was screwed. So I went back to class. I sat there for an hour and a half thinking about my purse. In my wallet I had two checks, one for $86 and another on for $12, not to mention my $200 phone (before rebate, but still). We took a 5 minute break and I ran out to check the car, maybe I'd left it on the seat when I'd gone back out there earlier. Nope. I rushed over to DPS to ask there. No purse. Maybe I had gone to the upstairs bathroom, not the downstairs bathroom; they both look exactly alike. Nope, no purse. Then I thought, maybe, just maybe I'd left it in Shelly's office while I was talking to her. That's where it was. Oh, I was so relieved. That really made my day. Just the feeling of having lost something and then finding out that I hadn't lost it at all. I felt like I'd just lost 50 pounds and all of it came from my chest.

Today is an exciting day because this guy, Nathan, who Laura met over the internet is coming to visit. He and Laura have really hit it off. He just got here about 10 minutes ago and I'm scared to meet him because I worry that he won't be what I had in mind for Laura. From the window he looks as though he wouldn't quite measure up to my expectations, but I guess I should wait to meet him first.

GGggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

That is how I feel right now, like yelling at the top of my lungs and with all the force I can muster from deep in my chest. Then I would groan and then I would scream!!!

Anyways I guess I should go and get the torturous thing over with.
