I felt stress today for the first time in probably over a year. It was intense. I didn't like it. I vow not to let it happen again.
So it was orientation at school today, met up with Alex and Taylor my new friends and sat through lots and lots of people talking, had lunch, and sat through more and more people talking. Oh, and got tote bags. I tried to change my schedule but unfortunately couldn't. This is where the stress began. I had to change my Thursday afternoon class, since it conflicted with my 3:00 birthday hair appointment. I really didn't want Thursday class at all since I really don't wanna have to go to school on my birthday. I then got home and Dave was like "Roger says he's coming to the beach with us on Thursday." "Roger? Coming to the beach??" I'll believe it when I see it. But I also informed Dave that I could no longer go to the beach since I had class all day Thursday. Now I was really getting frustrated. I've never before let school get in the way of my life, and i'm not about to start now. I had to figure out a way to change this schedule. Obvious answer - ask my guardian angels! And I did. And what happened next is crazy. As Leigh and I settle in to watch GG, I was the most stressed i'd been in years (even Leigh could tell I was so stressed). I decide to check the FIDM portal one last time to see if something had magically become available. And SOMETHING HAD MAGICALLY COME AVAILABLE! There was one opening in one class that was previously closed, that made my schedule come together like clockwork! Sayonara Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri schedule, bonjour Mon, Tues, Wed schedule! My birthday will no longer be ruined! I can keep my hair appointment! I can go to the beach! ... as long as i get that one spot in that one class! So i go upstairs and realize that i have to be at school at 8 to switch my schedule. Horrible. Another 6:00 wakeup call. I've had just about enough of this waking up before 7, I seriously can't handle it.
So I was in bed promptly at 11, but woke up FOUR times from nightmares about not getting the schedule! And then woke up at 5:30 and couldnt get back to sleep.
October 6
So I was basically a zombie this morning. Was at the registrars office by 7:30 (had to be the first in line, was not gonna risk letting my nightmares come true), responded to a wonderful email from caleigh, and walked outta there at 8:05 with a brand spankin' new sick schedule! YES! Then I sat through the most disorganized and boring international orientation presentation of my life. Definitely unnecessary for Canadians. Although I finally met this girl Sam who i'd been instructed by Cathy Langdon to find. Then I decided to go introduce myself to Brandon's mom, since Roger had instructed me to do that. She was awesome. Said if i needed anything (with the exception of changing grades), she'd hook me up. Sweet.
Went home, Lauren was here, chilled out on the couches with her and chatted a bit, tried to have a nap and couldn't fall asleep so i then decided to hike. Got horrible tan lines since it was full sunshine, but it was a perfect temperature and quite enjoyable! Came home, saw leigh for the first time all day, called Vino re. training and set up a time for tomorrow at 9 (busiest day in the history of days), and went to Target to get Christmas lights and candles for the backyard for our Thanksgiving party on Saturday, and pumpkin spice hershey kisses to send home to Mom.
Got home, Matt was here, he told me about his fabulous sounding gym in Beverly Hills that has Schwinn spinning bikes, and said he'd take me on Friday. I know it's gonna be disgustingly expensive but it's just so hard to go from the luxury of working out at the Cricket Club to working out somewhere less luxurious... I spend enough time at the gym that I deserve beautiful surroundings! Right? Right? Oh and I also desperately want the $900 Restoration Hardware drafting table because i found out yesterday that i need a drafting table and can't downgrade from Dad's wooden beautiful drafting table to a crapster metal 4-legged monstrosity selling for $175 at school... But maybe downgrading comes with the territory of starting a new life :( No fair.
Lauren, Dave & I later set up our Christmas lights in the backyard, had Thai for dinner, and Terrie, Lauren & I watched 90210 (Leigh was at acting class). And the clock will soon strike 11, so I best get to bed since I have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow. ONE MORE DAY until I can sleep in ... til 9 so we can go to the beach...
Oh, and still no pictures. My apologies. Will try and take some soon.
