today i had a seminar at 11, work at 12, and class at 4:30.
i had to leave the seminar early, which was a bummer because it was taught by this really cute lady who started utah valley magazine. i wanted to ask her if she could help a sister out and hook me up with an internship at utah bride, but that conversation is going to have to happen on another day.
anyway, i was low on gas and pressed for time on my way to work, and anyone who knows me knows that i hate being late. i hate it. it gives me so much anxiety. i think being late is rude, and i'm rarely rarely late. i was 2 minutes late today, which isn't a big deal to normal people, but it bugged me and i never really got rid of that anxiety all day.
work was good. my little man and i played with play-doh and we worked on learning colors and animal noises and shapes. i'm determined to make him a smart person. this is only my second day nannying for him, but i love him already. i hope i make a positive influence in his life, even if it's small. i hope that he remembers me when he grows up, and that he remembers i loved him.
i got off work at 4:10, and had class at 4:30, and i hate to stop for gas. so i was 15 minutes late to class. this about gave me a panic attack, especially because 1. we have quizzes in this class every day during the first 10 minutes of class. 2. this class is my lowest grade. 3. i have to get above a b- in this class to be accepted into my major. i have an 84. so i was late, even though i drove like a crazy person and got to campus in record time. i was starting to accept that i missed the quiz and i was going to be down another 10 points, and then the end of class came and everyone got out their iclickers to take the quiz. our TA was late too, so our quiz was postponed to post-lecture.
it was a thanksgiving miracle. 
or a huge tender mercy. 
i'll go with the latter.
i came home from class and realized i hadn't eaten anything this entire day. nothing. i just forgot to eat. what is wrong with me? maybe i'm subconsciously preparing myself for thanksgiving next week, when i'm sure i'll gain 10lbs. yeah, that must be it. but don't worry, i did have a rockstar lemonade for breakfast and i'm planning on getting a frozen yogurt for dinner. super healthy lifestyle over here.
i'm off to the library now to finish a 10 page paper on the himba tribe of africa. i know you want to read it.
