Thursday, March 27, 2003 I'm the luckiest girl alive... So yesterday morning at about 5:30am I get cramps...the worst cramps I've ever had. *guys bear with me now...it happens* And they had hurt so bad that I woke up from them. It was seriously like someone was trying to gut me or something. And here I was in the fetal position wishing they'd go away so I could go back to sleep and be somewhat rested for my exam at 10:20. Although that would be unlikely considering I went to bed at about 3:30. So I finally fall asleep again and when I wake up I shoot out of bed cause it was so bright and I look at the clock...11:20. CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP! SHOOT! What the?!?!? My alarm!?!?! How the?!?!?! Retard me had set the alarm for 8:30...PM...good job genius. In the next two seconds I'm at my computer immediately e-mailing my prof hoping for some sort of mercy and miracle. Then I had to shower and get ready super fast and inhale my lunch. You see I was supposed to finish my exam then cram for a quiz...right couldn't even cram for my quiz now. ARGH DAY IS NOT GOING GOOD. So I go take my quiz and don't do as good as I usually do on them. Gargh. Then another wave of cramps hit just as I stand up to leave class...right hang tough for now...go back to the dorm and then die. But no they were so bad I considered taking medicine which I've never done before. But I don't even have any meds cause I never take them...gosh darn it! So I go knocking on the door of the dynamic duo and just as I step in I fall back over on their lounger and ask for something to just take the pain away. And then they say...we were gonna go shopping...shopping eh??? Aw heck...I really shouldn't...I have an assignment due...I should study...I don't know what's going on with my exam yet...I hurt cause I'm a girl...sure why not... So off we go to the mall...let me say retail therapy (aka shopping spree) does wonders. We first started off with some wonderful auntie anne's and then went to express and victoria's and gap. The three of us had a very "productive" shopping day and girls you know what that means. And that darn evil little plastic rectangle was just jumping out of my wallet and next thing I knew...I had added a large sum to my account. CRAP and a half again...how was I to tell mommy wong? So as I was half like ok whatever I haven't shopped in a LONG time and spring is around the corner the other half was like...should I stop yet? So I come back and we all eat dinner. Then it's time to bum...who wants to work after shopping...I mean you have to marvel at all your new belongings right girls??? =p So as I brought myself to check my email to see if my prof had replied...and she had I was like oh dear am I going to have to do an essay am I gonna be able to make it up? I open the e-mail and it reads.... Dear Sewa, How does tomorrow morning look? Just let me know what time you wanna come in...we'll work something out. Do I not have the most AWESOME prof??? YAHOO! YAY! WAHOO! So I wrote her and thanked her of course and asked her what time would be good for her and I suggested 12:30. I was thinking is that pushing it? That's not really in the morn. Bless her soul that lady even wrote me back again and told me oh that's fine I just need to leave by 3. YES!!! Problem one banished. Problem two...should I call my mom? I decided that I should call my mom and at least tell her. I call her and she sounded in a good mood...*whew* "hey mom got a minute?" "Yeah why what's up?" "Oh just got somethings to fill you in on." My mom and I are cool like that. "Well I just wanted to tell you that I worked out this issue with my friend yadda yadda...and I feel horrible...and then I was having the worst cramps and I even took medicine mom...and I didn't get much rest cause I was studying and I was supposed to wake up early but...I missed my exam today mom...and" *GASP* "WHAT? Oh my! What are you gonna do then???" "Oh I already emailed my prof and I'm making it up tomorrow...it's all fixed don't worry." "oh ok..." (sounds much relieved) "oh and those errands you told me to do for you are all done...but yeah oh one more thing...so my day has been horrible and last week wasn't all peachy either so...I went shopping today...and I bought SOME things on the card" "AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH you told me ALL THAT...to get around to this eh??? HAHAHAHAHA." Me=WHEWWWWWWWWWW "Yeah but I got some stuff on sale mom and some of it was necessities like victoria mom I bought this and this and it was *ahem* $xx.xx." "oh ok and????" "And then I went to another store and I bought this and this and this and this and this...." "right and this and this and this....after all this you haven't told me how much you spent...." "ehehe well uhh alot was on sale so yeah $xxx.xx..." "ohhhHhhhH ohhohoho right uh huh...well you won't get money till next month then and can't eat out that much then cause I'm sure you don't have that much cash left..." "ok mom ehehe ok mom.... uh huh gotcha... ok I will...alright then I talk to you later..." Ahhh all ends up being WONDERFUL! I got some meds so cramps you have nothing on me! I can make up my exam and I did today and I blew that thing right out of the water. I get to drop my lowest quiz score. My mom didn't fall over and instead took it rather well and was laughing at me too! And that folks is why my day ended up being so magnificent and why I think I'm so lucky. So at night before I went to bed and thanked the man upstairs for the way things turned out and then a good nights rest was all mine....The end. posted by Sewa at 2:10:00 AM # Monday, March 24, 2003 What an amazing two weeks it has been. So much prep and practice...planning and more planning. But both Cultural Vogue and Praise Night went well. Praise God! His presence was so apparent through every step of the way. I still feel a little of that bittersweet feeling from CV. I'm sad it's over but happy it was done. Girls...thanks again for such an amazing time. Through the sweat and the soreness and the laughs and the whoopsies I definitely have strengthened my bonds with each and every one of you. And I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it up to crunch time and wouldn't change a thing. Seriously the nervousness and the jitters that hit right before show time was nothing compared to God's comforting hand and presence after I prayed with you girls...it's became the one and the only "Audience of One." You girls were flawless my admiration and my respect always especially to Cassie and Christy, you guys put up with all of our mess-ups especially me it was tough but I'm glad you guys never gave up on me, much love. And CCF FNL Praise Night! My goodness! I'm so happy with the way it turned out. A special thanks to Mr. Lee for driving out to speak for us. He is one GOOD speaker folks...he'll keep you laughing and entertained yet thinking throughout. And although things we were still scrambling a little near crunch time...it all fell together just as it always has just in time. And the chill time after was awesome...glad those Koreans came out to support and stuck around...you guys are a trip. You two pairs *ahem* (you know who you are) need to let me in on those secret hiding spots! And now I need to get back into the swing of school...righhhttt..... posted by Sewa at 12:16:00 AM # |
