This week has been a rollercoaster ride for my emotions. My life went from 0 to 60 in one day. I went from sleeping in and doing whatever I wanted for a whole month, to waking up at 7 a.m. every morning, and having something to do every minute. The first week of school is always crazy for me. Part of me is excited to come back and actually do something with my life again. But then the other part dreads sitting in boring classes, writing papers, and working my butt off all the time. I get so stressed out trying to get back into the swing of things. Not to mention, I don't get to see the people I love the most every day. That right there is enough to make me sad. I feel like I don't have any control over my emotions either. Sometimes I will wake up excited about the day, and then other days I wake up and I just don't want to do anything. I just want to be happy all the time!
Today after I got back from class, I ate my lunch, and then layed down to watch tv for a little while. Yes Man was on. It's about this guy that had a boring life and he wasn't happy about it, so his friend suggested this seminar to give him a fresh perspective. The seminar told him to say Yes to everything. Long story short, he tried new things, he became spontaneous and free-spirited, and his life turned out to be a blast. It cheered me up. I love that about movies. They can turn your mood completely around.
I'm sure my mood will even out after I get comfortable with my new schedule. For now I am just going to do my best to be optimistic, and try not to think so much. I analyze things way too much. I know one thing that always make me feel better is doing my bible study, so that is what I am going to do right now.
