*sigh*
so, i just received an e-mail that i've been waiting for ever since opening day...
it's one e-mail that i look forward to from Student Life...
Tickets on sale Wednesday, April 19th at 9 a.m. for Cubs vs. Cardinals game Sunday, April 23rd in St. Louis
the only problem is...well, ok, there are three problems...i'm on duty, i just scheduled a program for that afternoon, and we have RA orientation...
sadness
otherwise, in this crazy thing called life, i was reminded again last night that this stuff i call "schoolwork" is not nearly as important as i sometimes make it out to be. i give it enough importance in my brain that i start freaking out about the amount of stuff i have to get through in the next couple of weeks, that 40% of my grade for one class comes in this one week, and other things.
but people are more important. and i was reminded in a pretty hard way of that last night...one of my friends who's a senior in high school is going through something i went through when i was a senior in high school...losing the first person she's actually close to. and it's just too much the same that i realized that i will drop everything, pray that my professors understand, and go home.
hooray for perspective checks, even when they're painful.
h'ok, i do need to work on my lesson plans but then i'm heading to lunch with this amazing woman of God y'all might know, despite the 20% due tomorrow...and i vow to try not to freak out about it...
;)
peace friends
