It's Just One Bad Day

Today was a bad day for me, but at least it's over.

It's Just One Bad Day
Johnathan Nightingale

Today has just not been going my way. First I get an email from the company delivering my package that I have long awaited to see. The problem started when they said that no package was in my mailbox, I mean the email I received said it arrived at around 10:40 am, but I could see that they were putting packages in the places they were supposed to be since they just opened. So I decided to wait for an hour and a half, about 1:30 pm to be exact. Went to check again and still no package, not to mention I was told that unless I received an email from the mail center then that means there's no package here for me. The company that delivers it sent me an email --but I guess that doesn't count--. Well, anyways I walked outside dejected a little, thinking to myself that I guess I would ride the shuttle back to my dorm. As I proceed to open the door, I see the shuttle drive right pass the stop since no one was at it.--Darn isn't that something tragic to follow up with--. From there I decided to forget about the shuttle since it would be at least 15-20 minutes before it came around again, I decided to walk all the way to the opposite end campus to my dorm. As I walk into my room hoping to just take a little nap so that I could feel a little refresh, life or should I say my roommate is playing his game with the volume up high as well as talking into his mic at full force. I tried to nap but today just wasn't my day.

About an hour later I decided to give up on the nap that I so badly needed and walk with two of my friends to the library and just do some of my classwork. It actually went well. So we hit up the cafe around 6 o'clock, but the choice in food today were just so unfulfilling that I actually got sick of eating. Get back to my room to see my roommate and my third roommate--his girlfriend-- who stays in the room all the time all day and all night. But what can I say it's just one bad day. Everyone has a bad day every now and then, it's nothing to get to down by, we know that better times are always around the corner. Can't let one bad day ruin all the other days.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
