Interesting Day.

Today was interesting. I guess that'd be the word for it.

This morning I had to do my persuasive speech in Public Speaking. (I stayed up until midnight writing the damn thing, then was woken up at 2 AM by a horrid pain caused by my right leg doing its notorious late-night wake-up calls. Damn pulling muscles!) I was supposed to go second, but wound up going first due to the girl scheduled to go before me being late.

I got up and declared, "Woo! Alright, let's do this!" I got some giggles, but more importantly... I got a random burst of applause -- and I'd not even performed yet. I handed over my outline to the professor and announced I first needed to get the giggles out... so I did a small dance. I then turned serious and somber, and set into my speech.

I'm a pseudo-professional storyteller. As my opener and closer were both stories, I nailed them beautifully. Again I delivered another performance that rendered the class speechless. I was proud.

So after that, I sat in the lobby for a while. At first I was content to read my book and play my music... but as time progressed, I randomly got sad. So sad that I lost interest in the book and laid my head down on my hoodie. Before I knew it, I was staring at the corner, crying quietly, and unable to stop it. It went on for quite some time before it finally eased off and I entered a very numb, empty state that went beyond my "disconnect" defense mechanism.

I motivated myself into Geology, where I found we are finally starting the reason I entered the course -- meteorology. That picked me up a little, and I left class feeling somewhat better.

After class, Daddy and I went out to lunch at my favorite Chinese place, followed by some grocery errands. Again my sense of humor made itself known as we left the restaurant, in which I made my greatest joke of the day: "Boy, I love this restaurant. If I clean my plate, they give me a cookie!"

Daddy was Unamused Cat.

Today was the first day since Saturday since I haven't been absorbed with something for school. I've lost a crapload of sleep worrying and brooding about things, but getting the math exam and my speech out of the way definitely lightened the load. I was able to relax a little today, which definitely helped my system. Hopefully tonight I'll sleep.

I also will be tagged for the rest of my life. After my surgery on the 29th, I'll be forced to wear a medical bracelet stating that I've had said surgery. And I'll have to wear said medical bracelet every day for the rest of my life. Fortunately, I got to pick the design myself... so I'll sport a nice silver bracelet, which honestly doesn't look that bad. But yeah, Dani will have a pseudo-collar on her wrist.

(Getting the medi-bracelet makes me want to get another bracelet, with a charm that declares me belonging to my boyfriend. Then again, I'm weird and like the collar concept.)

Tomorrow, post-school, I'll be traveling to Newnan. There I'll have the house to myself for the night. I'll probably use that time to nap or do some serious reality avoidance.

For now, I'm gonna try to sleep, as my focus is completely lost.

...Hehe. Dani's gonna be tagged.
