Have you ever felt like crying, but not been sure why? I did today, and I'm still not sure why. It was silly, because even though there were some disappointments, I had a truly lovely day. This morning I got up at an unreasonably early hour and drove to Monmouth for the transfer student registration. I even got there early, because there was no traffic at all and it wasn't rainy. The talks were very helpful and informative, and there was an impressive amount of one-on-one help for registration etc. I'm all registered for classes (although I might be tweaking my schedule a bit) and it seems I'll have a pretty light load. Afterwards, I found some cute things a mall, and retrieved a Craigslist purchase. Well, I picked it up, getting it home was another matter. You see, a bought a bookcase from a nice lady who is moving to Florida, but I didn't remember to bring anything to secure it in the truck, and it was threatening to rain. I did eventually manage to wedge it in the cab, but it made for an interesting drive home :)
Things that didn't work out:
1. My cookies- no clue what I did wrong, but they weren't any good
2. The second half of the registration fair- I got delayed, and missed it completely
3. Hanging out- no one was around (and no kitten)
4. The purchase- I managed to not have exact change, and had to drive to the nearest store.
Things that did:
1. I drove all around and didn't get truly lost once! (even if I wasn't always quite sure where I was)
2. I got registered
3. I did find some adorable things
4. I met some really nice people
5. I have friends and family who love me
6. I have a Father who keeps me through everything in life- good and bad, up and down, and I can
always lean on Him :)
Looking forward to meeting tomorrow :)
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations
also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience
Rom 5:3
But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing
James 1:4
