Day 575: Twenty-two and counting

nagi_schwarzSo I'm now twenty-two years old and, rather than feeling grandly mature and much older and wiser, I'm realizing precisely why my mother was terrified of letting me live on my own. Last night I got lost. On the way to visiting teaching. Given that I am living in what is still a relatively new city and I have only been to Audrey and Beverly's place once before, that doesn't sound so bad. On the contrary, however, I had directions to their place. That I'd written myself. But I still got lost. Go me!
This morning I decided to let myself sleep in, because if I wasn't going to skip classes today - which would be a wholly irresponsible thing to do - there was no reason I couldn't give myself an extra hour curled up and comfortable in my big warm bed. Not so bad, eh? Apparently it was bad enough that I forgot to eat breakfast. Just...forgot. Did everything else I do in the morning - I showered, dressed, packed my backpack, read my scriptures - and then just waltzed out the door. I became awfully hungry during contracts, and I began to grumble in my mind about my body's own inconsistencies, because I'd just eaten a couple of hours ago. Only I hadn't. It was a little worse in torts when Officer Despain had a muffin. I was ready to smack him down for that muffin. And then I didn't eat nearly enough for lunch, so I couldn't concentrate all through Civ Pro, or after class.
I'm pretending I'm working on my memo right now. I'm not. But I am typing rapidly, so it sounds like I'm doing a great job.
But today has been good so far. Brielyn called to tell me Happy Birthday. She even sprang a present on me last night, something that was totally unexpected, but then she also brought me Valentine's treats, so there you go. I opened all the cards I got - one from Justin, one from Mom, and even one from Nick. (I know. I failed a willpower save. Brad's already had a long talk to me about it.) And I guess after legal writing the gang and I are going to go out for food. Which means I'll miss House, but that's all right.
You know you're having a grown-up dinner with the gang when they bring their kids.
Wow. I didn't sleep well last night either. So I'm a bit weird. But those pretzel sticks really hit the spot. So I'm going to do homework now, honest.
