If someone asked me what four adjectives would best describe me, "sinister" would not be the first thing that comes to mind...

I'm just saying. And you know who you are.

So today was a good day. Which is awesome, cause I thought it was gonna suck. I had a really busy day ahead of me, but I didn't get much sleep cause I had to finish up my homework. Well, I tried. Around 2:30 my brain exploded and I was somehow able to drag my smoking carcass to bed...so I got up this morning tired and in a bad mood for the second day in a row, and I just lay there in bed for an hour drifting in and out of consciousness, having weird 30-second dreams that made absolutely no sense. I was behind schedule, and I had to take time to plan out how I was gonna get everything that I needed to do done, but I couldn't really concentrate cause I was worried... We had to do a case analysis in class today, which involves reading a 20-page case study, making a marketing decision, and being able to put forth said decision in class along with supporting evidence from the case study. At this point, I wasn't able to string a coherent sentence together, much less a decent analysis, so I thought some caffeine would help...

...With breakfast, that would've been a good idea. On an empty stomach...uh, no. Which is how I ended up in Marketing class trying to hold my pencil, only my hands are shaking and I'm eyeing my hands cause I'm not sure what the heck is going on cause I'm completely calm and I know the professor's looking at me and I'm just thinking, "I know what it looks like, but I'm not a crack addict. I'm drug-free, dude..."

...Wow. I just broke my record for longest run-on sentence right there. Anyway, we start class and the first thing the professor says is, "Well, I've been thinking about it and I'm going to postpone the case analysis..." Yessss. So we went over a new chapter and reviewed for the exam, and that was it.

I decided it'd be a good idea to stop by the Shack to rest for a little while before I had to go help sell Bob Day shirts, so that's what I did. It was slow today, but honestly, I don't think I could've taken a crowd of people right then. I was still kinda in a bad mood when I got there, but by the time I left, my spirits were lifted- not cause anyone did anything special, but cause I just really enjoyed everyone's company today. And I don't say that about everybody.

But yeah, selling T-shirts turned out to be awesome. Oh, man, I have never had so much fun asking people for money... It's a lot easier screaming at people when you're in a mob. This guy just walked up and handed us a $5 bill, so that was cool...and we were able to sell some shirts today too. It was so funny watching people stare at our table and just mouth in complete and utter confusion, "Bob Day...? Who is that...?" I got to see my "sister" Stacie today too, and I found out from her that my sister (blood older sister) got accepted to pharmacy school here, and she was ecstatic. I think I was literally the last to know, but that's cause I suck about signing onto instant messenger services these days. I got to talk to her later on today, though...she was so happy. Anyway, back to selling T-shirts...around 1:50 or so, Bob Day actually shows up. It was awesome. People would ask us, "Who's Bob Day?" and we would just point and Bob would look a little chagrined. The best part is when he left, cause there's all this hoopla about him going on, and he says, "Well, I gotta go clean the toilet at the Shack now, so..."

Bob Day is awesome, man.

And how did I end my day today? My long 2 1/2 hour class today- movie.

Oh, God is good. I say that in all humble, thankful seriousness.
