today exceeded expectations

i woke up, having fallen asleep with gitsy in my arms, to a lost puppy, greasy hair, and an unfinished painting.

so i got dressed (good self esteem day), grabbed my unfinished painting, kissed my doggie byebye, and left for school..

..twenty minutes later than i should have. without my phone or my coffee.

having been going 20mph over the speed limit wherever possible, i wound up at the locust st parking garage around 7:24. the gate was open, the teller was MIA. i felt horrible about it, but pulled in anyways (thinking i'd just pay the maximum fare, $5.25, instead of my usual $4.75), got my stuff together, and ran for the main building.

somehow i made it on time.

after a surprisingly not too boring tok class, i remembered that the bio test was TODAY. and i hadn't read or studied ANYTHING. i used first period to scribble notes, scrambling to answer the assessment statements. same in psychology; though i really felt the need to bring up the butterfly effect, i know my priorities and tuned everyone out in order to answer the remaining statements.

lunch was good. peaceful and happy.

bio test was next! so easy i couldn't believe it...i knew 8/9 answers AND felt really confident in the 8 answers i put down. also, we worked on labs. jillian wasn't there so i ended up having to work with eb. i generally would have been disappointed in that fact, but he was really kind and helpful, moreso than jillian might have been, and hilarious. i was really glad i got to work with him, although he totally has personal space issues.

now that my foremost dread was over, art was left. DREAD! but it actually turned out really well...mrs goodridge didn't eat me, and i got some good work done.

music theatre was actually really fun. i did a full heel stretch with my right leg, and managed to do a pretty kickass splits in skinny jeans. no conditioning, and we got let out a little early.

i walked to my car and handed the teller at the garage a ten dollar bill, explaining my situation. he let me out free of charge, said that "they" wouldn't know any difference if i didn't pay because i wouldn't be marked on the ledger. COOL BEANS, FREE PARKING!

all in all, my day was rad.
and that gives me hope for tomorrow, because so much of today was hypothesized to be horrible and i came home smiling. tomorrow must be as good :]
