Highs and Lows
Today was the first day back for 2nd semester and with an added bonus of starting classes at freakin' 8 am in the morning (seriously, this should be a crime. I mean some of us, are just NOT morning people!!!) So, needless to say, I wasn't exactly all that thrilled to get up today morning, especially after my little Golden Globes party (more on that in another post) last night. But then, when I woke up today, at the crack of dawn and with darkness all around me, I opened the blinds to my window and for the first time this winter I saw REAL snow! The first time all winter!!! I love seeing the first snowfall of winter, it's so pure and peaceful and beautiful. Excited after seeing my pretty white snow, I thought, hey today won't be so bad after all. I mean I even had some time left to drink some coffee before class!But all good things must come to an end and so my initial high slowly came crashing down as I realized how much of a pain it is walk outside while it's snowing during the early morning in the midst of all the traffic and icy sidewalks. And then, the day got even worse, as I just had to run into my fellow "brown brotha from the hood" as I was walking up the stairs almost out of breath (damn you heels!).
And finally, to put the icing on top my ugly morning Tuesday cake, I just found out that a dear friend that I made last semester, a truly gem of a person, kind, caring, so smart and studious she made the rest of us look bad, so elegant and proper that I told her to ditch all this school nonsense and become a famous ballerina dancer, decided that graduate school was not where her interests lie after all. She would no longer be sitting next to me and we would no longer share each other's company during our loooong classes. Sigh. I'm going to miss her. But you know, she's the sort of person that will be successful in whatever she does and I hope she finds her true calling soon. She's out to search for her dreams and I hope she grabs ahold of it soon.
I wish I had grabbed a few sparkly snowflakes in dark, early morning today too, before it soon all melted away in the warm sun of a Tuesday afternoon.
