Yesterday was interesting. I woke up kind of late, so I knew I'd miss my first class but still make it to my second class in plenty of time. After I woke up I journaled and showered and ate, and then I started getting ready for class but then every muscle in my body was like, "LAY DOWN NOW!" I wound up spending pretty much the entire day in bed, doing as little as possible. Thank Goddess for TNT doing Law and Order marathons Monday nights. (I know, how ironic is it for me to be deliberately watching TNT on Monday night?)
I'd heard other people talk about how tiring long-distance driving can be, but I had no idea it was that bad. I think it was a combination of that, my recent lack of sleep, and just my body relaxing after all the fear I felt after being lost in Cincy for over an hour. I know that missing a day of school like that won't kill me, but I'm still such a perfectionist that I felt really bad about it. As it is, I'm still catching up on schoolwork I should have been doing over Spring Break but never got around to. (Bad, bad Sean!)
Still, I don't have regrets over the trip, even if some aspects of it didn't turn out like I'd hoped for. In fact, I've come to a realization about my own life over break that I'll have to write up here soon just to get it out of my system. For now, I'm just hoping that once I'm done with this semester and I have some real time to myself here, I can go back down there and visit with all my new friends again. (Christina and Milena likely can't come all the way up here due to family obligations, but I'm hoping I can talk Penny into coming up here a few times.)
For now, though, it's back to the books with me.
