So, the date weekend was pretty wonderful. Friday night, Meghan and I went to the gallery hop, which wasn't quite as exciting as I would have hoped, but I'm still glad we went. One of the galleries was showcasing photography from a girl who went to Greece with me, so I got to see what kind of pictures she had been taking while we were out there.
After gallery-hopping, Meghan and I travelled onward to WalMart... the quintesential college experience. WalMart on a Friday night. Meghan had some things to pick up, so I went with her. We walked around WalMart for awhile, and I'll admit, I bought some stuff while we were there. I hate WalMart, but I do love their bin of $5 DVDs. That's why I went with her :) So, got some new DVDs, a bunch of bananas, and then convinced Meghan that cheese fries and a milk shake sounded really good. Good thing that Steak n Shake is right across the street!
So, for about an hour and a half, she and I sat in SnS, eating friends and fruit, drinking our shakes, and telling stories. Then back to campus, where we sat in her room for hours, until 1 in the morning, just talking and hanging out.
Saturday was a day to myself, where I watched movies and pretended to do homework until about 5, when I got dinner... and then resumed with tv and pretending to do homework. The week of classes had kind of burned me out, so taking a day off from everything was really nice. A little after 7, Sam, my RA, same and got me, and she and I went down to the Ludo concert. We picked up one of her friends along the way, and then met Meghan down in Cummings. The concert was great - Meghan and I bought a CD and got it signed, which was also pretty cool.
Sunday was a day to catch up on my homework... nothing too thrilling there. Although, after dinner Meghan and I went back to WalMart... and this time I went in my pjs. Another wonderful college experience :)
Overall, it was just a pretty good weekend.
This week, however, is pretty stressful. I've had about 400 pages to read up until today, along with stats homework, classes, work... I've still been doing a lot of extra work, trying to get a lot of new Ambassadors trained. It's stressful, but hopefully my paycheck will make up for it. The campus got a pay raise over the summer, but we still get paid less than minimum wage. No fun.
This weekend is the "annual" Sime Women Canoe Trip, which I'm also pretty excited about :)
I've been thinking a lot about my life lately... how I've gotten to where I am, where I thought I would be, where I want to go. I feel like there are so many question marks in the future, and I hate that. I love having things planned out, to have at least an idea of what's going on. But I'm not so sure what's going to happen. Get my masters... and then what??
And the past... I keep remembering all of these things that I wish hadn't happened. I told someone this summer that I don't regret any of my decisions that I've made before. I have to take that back. There are two, one of which makes me sad too often. But only recently have they started to really affect me...
I'm not going to let them tear me down, though. I can't change them, I can only learn from them and move forward. Become stronger, and resolve not to let those situtions occur again.
Sometimes I think that maybe I am a better person because of what happened. I learned so much about myself, and although I wish they hadn't have happened, they lead me to who I am now, how I feel about certain things, and how I react to situations. Maybe the results aren't ideal, but they're me.
And I'm generally fairly happy with who I am :)
