"Oh why do the good days end? It makes me wonder now, with the way I feel, if yesterday was even real..." --Chris Rice
My sentiments exactly. Yesterday was incredible. Really, truly, incredible. Reasons why:
-The weather here in Northwest Arkansas was strikingly similar to that of Southern California.
-My dad called and told me that I've been awarded a scholarship through his company, and because I put the effort forth to apply for the scholarship in the first place, my parents are going to pay my car insurance for me! Couldn't be more excited about that!
-Remember that little run-in I had with my lap-top, and the $600 it took to fix the screen? yeah, so I needed a job. I was pretty nervous about that honestly. It's a small town and there are a lot of college kids returning and, I assume, needing work. I went out early last week and applied to Sonic. Working at Sonic as a car-hop means that everyday when you leave you have cash in your pocket and every two weeks you get a check. That's a beautiful thing. Anyway, I went in yesterday for an "interview." (that's in quotes because it wasn't an interview at all. The manager just asked me when I wanted to work) Anyway, I got the job. God is faithful and good.
Reasons why today was not as good:
-The weather here in NW Arkansas is strikingly similar to that of NW Arkansas. (actually it's still really nice, but more humid)
-I had class. (but the President of JBU lectured in one of my classes so that was interesting.)
-I had to work. I'm not very good at not being good at stuff. I don't handle it well. Learning a new job, and being around new people, is awkward. (but I did leave with money in my pocket, and I'm already always around new people so I'm getting used to that).
-I have statistics homework. (but I'm going to eat Wheat Thins and peanut butter while I do it.)

Based on the parentheses it really wasn't that bad of a day... The song lyrics I quoted at the beginning aren't all that applicable. I got a hilarious (really! I was crying!) message from a friend. I ate coffee ice cream. I'm wearing my big fat Danish pants. And every where I turn I'm reminded that God is still faithful and good. Thanks for letting me work through that pitty-party. I'm over it.
