It Gets Better


I woke up this morning and went to class. Didn't feel like I learned much, and realized I sincerely need to learn more if I wanted a chance at doing well in my classes. Turned in my orgo lab, picked up my orgo pset. Printed out a ton of practice tests. Needless to say, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed and rather stressed. I was legitimately at the verge of tears when I took a nap in the late afternoon, and I didn't feel much better when I woke up. To make things "better," I had planned to do some practice exams that I just didn't even get around to doing.

But then I went to PEF. And I have to say, I've only been there twice, but it's just amazing how things that are addressed completely relate to my worries. Not even necessarily about anything specific, but just life in general. I really am going to make this a weekly thing. It's great. I really do like PFA as well, but it's a bit too big. I feel like I can really get to know and meet people at PEF easier. Speaking of which, I played In a Pickle with people after the actual meeting, and watching part of an episode of The IT Crowd, which was pretty hilarious. They're such great people, and it really just made me rethink everything. Sure, I'm worried about my tests and my grades - it's been so long that I've felt almost defined by them in a way - but this is what really matters.

Caught Wreck It Ralph at the Garden with Kathryn and Matt. Have to say, it's such a fun and cute movie. If you haven't seen it, you definitely should! 
Also, O-RE-O.


Went a bit crazy afterward; I'm not completely sure what happened but it involved a lot of me laughing my head off, a bit of hyperventilating, and some hopping like a bunny. But it was fun. =]

I also got a message from my parents which was completely unexpected since they don't normally send things like this:
"School must be busy now. Don't push yourself too hard. As long as we put in the effort, that's enough. I want you to enjoy the college life, meanwhile find something interested that you want to devote yourself to be your career. You are away from home and our hearts are always be with you. Send us message any time you want. We do miss you."
It was really sweet and definitely came at a good time.
