A Blessing or Two in Spite of the Pain

Despite the hardships I have faced in the last week or so, today's having been the worst of them all, I do not entirely regret getting out of bed this morning. I got the package my mom sent me in the mail, so now I have chocolate and cinnamon fire Jolly Ranchers (yay!) plus some cold relief just in case I get sick in the near future. And of course, my personal favorite for this time of year, my parents got me a stuffed animal. I'm a sucker for stuffed animals. He is, as Adam put it at dinner tonight, a "bee-bear hybrid," and I don't have a name for him yet.... but I'll think of something.

At present, I am done with classes for the week. w00t. All of us senior "literary types" took the ETS Major Field Exam tonight from 7:30 to 9:30... so I missed House ;_; and that makes me sad. At least I got to watch the next disc of Magic Knights Rayearth with Becca afterward as a sort of crappy-day consolation prize. Once we finished that up, I was reminded of my Junior/Senior woes when a discussion on the subject was struck up with Laura and Katie. I wanted just once to be asked (as a surprise, not some "hey, you already know I was thinking about asking you, so.... wanna go?" or "I don't have a date.. you don't have a date... ya dig?" like I've had happen a couple times) to a banquet, but it's my last banquet at Bryan and it's not looking too good for the home team. Even if I took matters into my own hands, I don't know who I'd ask. The person I hoped might possibly ask me is already asking someone else, so I'm out of ideas and almost out of time. I'll go ahead and get myself a ticket (since they're only on sale this week *growl of aggravation*), but I haven't decided whether I'm going officially or not.

All right, there's your update. I'll try to keep my game face on in public, but you might not see much of me until the V-Day Banquet since I still have a lot of sewing left to be done for my outfit and the deadline is drawing near.
