A sigh of relief

This past week has been full of stress and watching the clock, but now that that's all over, I finally have time to breathe. College pre-registration week is the worst. You're expected to sit and wait patiently for your time to come, and for freshman, that time is Thursday at 7am (aka very last). If you know me at all, you know that I HATE having to wait and not knowing if my classes are going to work out. At Smallsville High, I never had to worry about that. I never took a class I didn't want because my guidance counselor knew better. She knew that I wasn't afraid to call her house late at night to get her to fix something. And as a result, I am not used to this crap.

So I woke up early, sat down at my laptop, and waited for 7 to roll around. I think pre-registration was a success, besides that stupid science class I didn't get into. But the funny thing is, I'm not that upset about it. I didn't want science anyways so this schedule will be easy peasy. Intro to Teaching, Electronic Portfolio, English, Psych, and Speech. And I managed to get a class with my friend, RI, so I'm super happy about that.

Speaking of RI, I've been hanging out with her and her friends a lot more lately and I love it. I think I've gone over there almost every day this week to hang out, talk, watch TV, or do whatever seems like fun. I really like them and get along with all of the people in their group. There's never a dull moment. I do believe I have finally found the college friends I was searching for. Things seem to be going my way these days.

I read a quote the other day that really got me thinking. "Don't regret anything that once made you happy." I've decided to try and live by that quote. And living by that means regretting nothing because everything I have done, whether this summer or otherwise, once made me smile. Not regretting doesn't mean not learning from mistakes, it just means not beating myself up over things that happened. You should try living by it too. It's pretty awesome. Just consider it.

Peace.
