A few minutes to post before the FIRST NIGHT GAME AT RENTSCHLER FIELD! We are all so excited. I have pretty high expectations for this evening. I know everything will run smoothly. We survived last season, and after that, no uncertainty scares me anymore.
Things are going well. WORK IS FANTASTIC! The toddlers are so awesome. They are so enthusiastic to see and touch things, and see how things work. They are fascinating little beings! I love working this job and wish I could be there every day! Sooo much better than the toll booth!
Now for the solemn, more thought-out part of my entry. I had a pretty huge realization the other day that made me kind of sad. I have a friend that I've been pretty close to throughout my college career. We met during the fall of our freshman year, PM-ed together for KKPsi, but then kind of went our separate ways. This person was there for me one time in particular freshman year, when all I was trying to do was get through a book for my history class. I was so overwhelmed and stressed out, and I couldn't finish the book for the life of me. I kept turning the pages but felt like I was making no progress. All it took was one cry for help, and this person came and sat with me for hours, keeping me focused and helping me out. I guess it was moral support that I really needed, since reading is definitely a one-person job. I always remembered this event in the back of my mind, but over the past 2 years I had almost forgotten about it. Fast forward to last week: I proposed a pretty huge and disappointing decision in my life to my class. This person responded by going completely silent and not saying one word until they just about exploded, and left the group. I met up with this person again 10 minutes later or so, and I was so shocked to see how upset they were. He has always had nothing but a huge outpouring of love and affection for me, and I never even saw it. I remained completely blind to it until last week.
That makes me so sad! I am just now realizing how much he has put out for me, and how unappreciative I am toward him. In making that realization, I had a revalation and decided that I needed to tell him how much he means to me, and how much I appreciate having him around. So if you're listening, I'm sorry, and much love!
In other news... I guess there is none. First exam tomorrow morning... that's right, immediately following the first night game. Ugh. I just want it to be over!
On that note... peace out!
LET'S GO HUSKIES!
