Two Sides.

These past few days have been extremely two sided. Sorta like this actually. (I apologize for posting such a graphic picture.) Wednesday I was a little lot poopy. I decided that sometimes I don't handle stress very well. After feeling very much unappreciated on administrative appreciation day, I came home an hour later than usual to my parents eating dinner. Finally, fooooood. They looked at me. "Oh, we're sorry. We didn't make you any. You can have my other half if you'd like."
No thank you. I'll just eat these carrots and whatever is left in the fridge which looks and tastes a lot like NOTHING!

It rained almost the entire day today. I initially thought that because of the rain, everything would run smoothly. That changed immediately after 1st hour. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the school day complaining, yes complaining, about the grade on my creative writing story. (It's still a sensitive subject.) By now I'm thinking "hey, two bad days in a row. Things can only get better right?" *Just kidding. I wasn't actually thinking that. What teenager ACTUALLY thinks that?* So Dallin and I drove to work, in the pouring rain, listening to sad music. Side note: Sad music makes me feel better about myself. Don't ask me why, it just does. The second I step into my cubicle, all those nasty and stressful thoughts evaporated. There, stacked on top of my many projects, was a beautifully wrapped gift and two yellow roses. Day made. Kent bought me an array of hilarious inside jokes and an Itunes card. He's so thoughtful. And I can't forget to mention Charlie's contribution. He walked by my office to wish me a happy late admin date. Then he mentioned he had nothing to give except a mister yuck sticker.......I took it..... :) The system engineers also pitched in and made Jennifer and I a card. They're so thoughtful.

Since I had to read my poem today, I got off work early. Which was SOOOOO nice.
The poetry reading was actually quite fun. The lady who selected the poems works at WSU as a professor and before I even stood to read my poem, she announced to everyone that I had actually entered four other poems. I laughed. She continued by saying that I would have won 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, but they could only pick one. *YAY* After I gave a stunning performance, (not) they handed us all a Barnes and Nobel gift card. When the ceremony came to a close, the WSU lady thanked me again and asked if she could keep my poem. Of course I said no.

Jokes.
I gave her the poem.

After I bought "Along for the Ride," Mom and I went to Walmart to celebrate. We bought pizza and ice cream. Dad (even though he says he doesn't) always thinks less of us after the pizza is cooked. We're pigs. And we can't help it if our plate has 4 slices on it.

So overall, I learned two things.
1. Things can get really bad before they get better.
2. Pizza and ice cream are comfort foods. Thus making me feel much better about myself. Until of course I go to the gym and realize I ate too much.
