Today was great! I spent the day utilizing the talents God has blessed me with:) What a great guy. I started out with a good swim. I feel so natural in the water. I'm one of those freaks who doesn't have music playing 24/7. Like I do homework in my room, in silence. I realize that's probably strange, but aren't we all? Swimming is a good fit for me for that reason, because you can't plug your iPod in. It's just you and your thoughts. I decided to swim on the bottom (which is a mere 4 ft under) to practice my breathing when I had a mini panic attack because my ears felt like they were gonna blow up and my sinuses too. Since I had sinus surgery less than a month ago I pushed up from the bottom and couldn't get to the top fast enough. I thought my nose would be a bloody mess and I got all worried because I didn't consult my physician before swimming. But it turns out I made it through without any nose damage. I am ok'd for all activities from here on out!!!
After my swim session, I needed to practice piano. It is absolutely astonishing to me that I can play. Yes, I Can Play Piano! I'm still struggling in class and it's so hard learning new notes or chords or rhythm. I have to practice hours and hours, but it is getting easier. The things I once struggled with, are now old news. Now if my teacher could get on board with this positivity thing...
I have also been blessed with creativity. I consider my creativity to be one of my strengths. My religions professor asked us to write a paper about Confucianism and Taoism. He also said he wanted to be entertained. Well that's great because I'm one of the most entertaining people I know! I decide to write a short story about a world who blindly follows a religion called Consumerism. I'm sure you have a broad idea about what this religion teaches/believes. The two brothers in my story start a religious revolution and ta-da! The world is saved. I realize writing it out like that sounds sort of lame and NOT entertaining, but I assure you, it is great!
Speaking of school..can you BELIEVE I go to school here?
I took this at school today because it was just so beautiful. I've never seen my campus in that way before. I'm not usually up there on Friday afternoons, but it's quite peaceful that time of day. During the week I'm so stressed out and it's so crowded that I've never been able to see my campus like that. Gosh I'm lucky!Contrary to the ridiculous rumors floating around, our letters will be here the week of Thanksgiving. HOLY EEEEEK! Cross your fingers, toes, and maybe even your eyes (while you're not driving of course) for me! I have wanted to be a nurse my whole life. This. Is. My. Dream. I'm so nervous I feel like I'm constantly gonna puke. I might have to double the dose of my anti-anxieties these next few weeks.
Oh for heaven's sake! Just PLEASE tell me I can go to nursing school already? Please, Please PRETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTY Please!!?
Lacy, i love reading your posts! Seriously, how did you get so cool? I'm actually the same with music..I don't even have an ipod. Somtimes I like to drive in my car without my radio on and more than an hour of music is way too much for me. I like quiet. I like contemplating.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love swimming. I too, feel SO natural under water. It's totally my element.
p.s. GOOD LUCK WITH NURSING! You're such a hard worker, they'd be INSANE to not accept you. Seriously, you are inspiring with how hard you work on your goals.
I second on loving your posts! they make me smile and literally laugh out loud lol.
ReplyDeleteOh and you are not the only one that does homework in silence ;)
Karissa, I was born cool:) haha I don't know. God just gave me the gift of entertainment. Shay Shay thank you thank you thank you! Maybe Sara's the freak..that girl ALWAYS has music playing it drives me insane. I can't think.
