Maybe this post won't be as wacky as the others; instead I think it's quite pathetic...
Yesterday consisted of me:
- Working from 7:20-3:50pm
- Going home to snack on some rice cakes and peanuts before yoga
- Failing at yoga
- Going home to whine and cry about my epic failure in yoga
- Stressing out about all my homework instead of doing it
- My hubby feeling sorry for me and driving to get take-out at 8pm at night
- After eating a delicious, unhealthy meal, doing homework
- Watching Glee
- Getting into bed and almost falling asleep just in time to receive a text from my group partner saying our teacher finally responded to the email saying we couldn't do the topic we had chosen since it was already chosen...10pm the NIGHT BEFORE CLASS?!?
- A little more freaking out, whining and complaining to my hubby
- Finally falling asleep and deciding NOT to change our topic!!!
So I'm sure this is SO INTERESTING for those of you out there reading....but I just have to explain how ridiculously pathetic my evening was...
- Work was exhausting
- My pre-yoga snack...really nutritional!
- Attempting poses in yoga I knew I couldn't do and then falling on my face...hard
- Whining about my homework for probably longer than it actually took me to complete it...(this is a reoccurring event. Why haven't I learned yet?)
- Eating another very unhealthy meal...but very yummy! (Having the leftovers for lunch!)
- Completed ALL my homework in less than an hour
- Vegged out and watched Glee
- Decided to be stubborn, bitter, and a little precarious and go against my teacher's will of changing our topic...but who wants to do that at 10pm at night?!? Especially when it's the day before the presentation?!?
Oh how I love to worry?!? Can't you tell? I absolutely love my hubby for putting up with me! Instead of losing it and asking me the very same question I ask myself ("why haven't I learned yet") he just amuses me and lets me whine and complain a little too much. Then after kisses and hugs I get over it...
I know I should not find myself refreshed by other people's struggles. There is something comforting in realizing that you are not alone however. I hope that tomorrow goes better. The last couple days for me have. I feel almost like you wrote my story down and then put your name. I mean some of the details are different. I was failing at horseback riding not yoga, freaking out about traffic not homework, procrastinating at cleaning, etc... but reading this made me realize again that the human condition is not isolation. We are struggling together. Somedays are successes, others seem to be failures. Perhaps though we just need to re-define success. I am a worrier, who feels guilty for worrying and then worries about being a worrier. LOL. God help us all. There is this song I love that this reminds me of. Here are the lyrics to the chorus..."Well, I realize that falling down ain't graceful
ReplyDeleteBut I thank the Lord that falling's full of grace
Sometimes I take my eyes off Jesus
And you know that's all it takes." ~Andrew Peterson
So here is to the ungraceful experience that leads us to realize our need of His amazing grace.
Love you

How'd the presentation go? I've been in the same situation and also didn't change the topic. Everything turned out great! I guess it's a learning lesson, even though I would say the professor played a big part in it. But, now it's something you can take and use for when you do teaching :)
