Things Always Turn Around

Things always turn around. This is something that is so true. Even when the worst things in life happen (obviously i'm talking about things much bigger than my little pouting mood), eventually things will get better. This little fact is kind of reassuring.

Although not such a serious example, today was MUCH better. Contrary to my weeklong bad mood and sulking that my hard work doesn't pay off, today, I was reminded that it actually does. I got a test and quiz back, and both were rewarding.....much better then if I hadn't spent all that time studying. In fact, putting in the work almost GUARANTEES you will see positive results. However, reminding ourselves of this is tough.

Another thing that made me happy today was the rain. I love the rain! Somehow every single time it rains though, I manage to forget an umbrella and my rain boots (and forgetting my rain boots makes me mad since the opportunity to wear them doesn't come around much). Today was no different. I left class and sure enough it was pouring. I did have to go home though before my next class, so I changed into rain attire. That made me happy. :) I guess it's really the little things sometimes isn't it?

All in all, things were looking up today.

Patience~ Enjoy TODAY

Well, we're way past my productive summer, since it has been months since my last post. Moving forward though....I just read the my "about me" section. In there I talked about how I was trying to enjoy where I am at right now--Living in the present instead of fixating on the things I want in the future. Truth be told, I have been VERY bad about that lately. This week was extremely bad. I had two tests and two quizzes, plus work, and picking my parents up from the airport. To top it all off, I got a calculus test back. I thought I had done well on this test....turns out I was wrong. Needless to say, I was SICK of school. Today, I was getting frustrated about the fact that Ryan and I don't know when we're going to be able to get married. I wanted to set a date, but the fact that our graduation date is still up in the air, as well as whether Ryan will be able to get a good job right away, makes it pretty impossible.

When things are going well and Ryan and I get to hangout a lot, it's easier to be patient about getting married. When you are ridiculously busy, you have no time to spend together, and school has made you feel like screaming, that next chapter of life looks sooo wonderful. The reality is though, that looking back, years from now when we're married, juggling kids and work, we'll look back on these years and see beautiful memories.

So this week I am going to go back to what I said. It's time to enjoy the present! (which should be easier since my tests are done and Ryan and I have a date night planned)
