Sunshine and Joy

I actually felt like I used to in high school. Completely happy, (almost) no worries, just enjoying life. It was a beautiful day, and despite all of the work I have yet to do, I felt relatively stress-free. Of course, that might just be because I was busy with non-work-related things, so I felt productive but not worried about upcoming tests... In any case though, it was amazing.

Woke up early-ish around 9:30am, laid in bed and just thought about life and read the Bible a little until 10:30. Headed over to bake cupcakes with Evelyn and Cat for TASweets! It was super fun. Lots of mixing, some flour flying places. Eating pieces of cupcake that we dug out to fill them with red bean paste. Piping icing was pretty fun too, and they turned out pretty well! =]

Studied a bit for econ (which is sososo much better than studying for orgo...) and just relaxed in the afternoon. Matt got 2 hours of sleep; poor guy was busy writing his writing sem revision. Needless to say, he seemed rather tired when he came over to visit haha. But we both had a pretty nice break from work - well-deserved for him, not so much for me. =P Twas fun though. Jenny asked me how many cupcakes I ate (which, at the time, was none). Reminded me so much about how my friends used to ask me what I had for breakfast, or how much candy I'd eaten, or what I was on, just because I was always so hyper all of the time. I feel like part of that has been lost at college, and while it's not necessarily a bad thing given how crazy I was before, I feel like it's a shame that my personality seems to have changed because of work and stress. In a sense, I don't really believe it has, it's just been subdued due to constant worry and exhaustion. But it's good to know that the absolutely bubbly crazy me is still in there somewhere.

Went to the actual TASweets "competition" around 4:15pm - ran a little late but it was completely worth it, especially since pretty much nothing had happened before I got there. Some absolutely amazing confections - apple crisp, chocolate cake, a matcha/white chocolate cheesecake in addition to our red bean/matcha cupcakes. And all of them were absolutely delicious! So much fun hanging out with the TASA families. =]

I suppose now I actually need to do work, but I'll be in a good mood. Back to being stressed maybe, but happy. No promises about tomorrow though, when I have no excuse and actually realize how unprepared I am. =P Life is great, and I can't even begin to express how blessed I am.
