stress stinks, arid works

so i never completely understood those commercials... but after yesterday, i realized that stress really does stink... really. i had such a major stressful day yesterday, and at the end of the day, i smelled horrible. first thing that came to mind was that commercial. so if i ever smell bad, just be like, "hey stina, chill, relax... ...and go put some more deodorant on."

after yesterday morning's post, you can guess the basis of most of my stress... scheduling. and after posting, even more things were closing up. so i freaked out all day long, and i tried in vain to fix my scheduling. i also ate too much chocolate, but that's a whole other story.
and having theology on an already stressful day doesn't help at all... i can't wait for this class to be over (although i will have to take another semester of it sometime in the future).
after classes were over, all i wanted to do was sit down and watch "it's the great pumpkin, charlie brown!" (i had this idea for a new tradition i wanted to start... watch the charlie brown movies on their respective holidays). but i couldn't even do that... after searching best buy, meijers, target, and even blockbuster, i found nothing (and shiloh didn't find her "nightmare before christmas" she was looking for). i did get spiderman 3 though (love that movie). i get so emotionally involved in spiderman movies it's not even funny... shiloh turned to me at one point in the movie and just laughed because i was so distraught (like full on distraught) when spiderman was a jerk to mary jane by 1)kissing another girl and 2) taking that same girl to the place mary-jane worked.
shiloh pointed out that in the past week, i have mentioned having a crush on sylvester stalone (from rocky 1), spiderman, and snoopy (i was semi-joking about that last one.... but seriously, he's just so cute!). funny stuff.
anyway, by the time the movie was over, i was absolutely exhausted, and still super stressed about scheduling cause i had no idea what i was going to do the next morning. so i tried working out a few things but it still wasn't looking too good... i was so stinkin frustrated with scheduling!
and then my dad called with a surprise (which was delayed due to skype issues) that totally made my day... mark allison and tessa had stopped by my house trick or treating, and they emailed a little video of tessa in her little chicken costume! which i have to say was the cutest thing ever!!! awesome stuff. oh, and i don't know if what i've been learning in college is right, but i am pretty sure that chickens don't gobble... i think it is something more like a "cluck" or "bach" kind of a noise... haha, just teasing... i still laughed incredibly hard :)

so, judging that my post today is a little bit happier than yesterday's, you might be able to guess that things went alright when i say that i finished my scheduling.
although the actual process of scheduling wasn't very smooth, i got it all done in the end. classes opened up, and i won't have to petition for any closed courses. i got everything i hoped for (except for pe 156... the creative dance class) and instead have english 101 (written rhetoric, gross... might as well get it over with, eh?) i've ended up with 15 credit hours for that semester. i got my pe class i wanted, my education class, history (not too excited about that one), and my human bio class that will lay the ground work for most the rest of my major classes for the rest of college (it's a cognate that's a prerequisite to get in to other classes i'll need). it's a tough schedule, but it works towards my benifit and strengths (i start classes everyday at 8am... yay for mornings! and classes all end by 1:20, before tennis practice and stuff.)
so it turned out okay... a lot of my stressing (and stinking) yesterday turned out to be a bit pointless... but that's okay.
and it's a new day today... thank goodness for that.

by the way, the snow forecast keeps getting pushed back and is now at next friday... hmmm, i think it's gonna be a while... but i am ready for it.

i feel like i can finally breath now... it's nice

ciao, and have a goo day!
