Today

I started off my day by getting a Statistics exam back. I didn't want to open it for my score, but I did and my heart sank when I saw a BIG FAT 65 

oops. I had to quickly remind myself that life goes on. This is not my defining moment (insert personal pep talk/fighting of the tears). My friend and I then worked out the syllabus and decided that I could move on from this. Wooohooo what a great way to start the day.

I had volunteered earlier in the week to table our "Thankfulness Tree" where anyone can stop by and write what they are thankful for. Sucking up my pride from the exam, I ran to the student center and munched on a Cliff bar while I persuaded a friend (who has Statistics later in the day) that life will continue on after these exams. I genuinely felt better. One of the dining hall workers rounded the corner and said "Had I known you were out here, Krissy, I would have brought you food. Are you hungry? Want some chicken nuggets and fries?" Normally I would have said no out of politeness but my stomach spoke before my mind. She came back with an entire meal and boy was I hungry. I was quickly reminded how blessed I am and how God took care of me even without me saying a thing! Sure I was hungry but I would survive. I'm sure she sprinkled the lunch with love cause those were the best chicken nuggets and fries. I was with one of my bosses and she was shocked at how nice my Laurie was. I couldn't help but smile and relish in the fact that I have the best people in my life.

A photo shoot followed for our Resident Assistant recruitment program and, ever the most photogenic, I was happy to oblige. I warned the photographer of my inability to keep my eyes open and away we went. I was late and so was a football player so we were partnered together. We were given different mustaches to show different leadership styles and our boss and the photographer had a great time arranging us like we were dating. I was thinking to myself "who is this person I'm posing with?" He must have thought the same thing because afterwards he introduced himself. I can honestly say this was my first time taking pictures with a person before I knew who he was haha. 'Tis the life of a Resident Assistant model I suppose (jokes).

I also got a lot of life advice from my two advisers. I'm so blessed to have these professors that will sit for an hour and just talk to me about my life and next semester and post-grad. My Greek professor showed me this book I would need for my independent study to which I responded "oh that is beautiful" (I'm such a nerd). SHE GAVE IT TO ME! Yay for Thucydides!

Dinner and homework with friends and this girl has had a pretty good day. I lead such an exciting life :)
