Presents

On Wednesday, I received the gift of friendship. I was stressed with a twitch in my eye, a tremor in my hand and heart beats going out of my throat. I just couldn't sit still and felt every moment not studying was a moment wasted. Nick pulled me into hugs and asked me what was wrong. After denying each time he asked, he would just stand there and gave me minutes to reconsider. Then after a bit of a panic attack and feeling like I was brushed off by someone, I called Nick who just listened and said, "I know you're stressed - you aren't yourself." To have someone know when you are acting CRAZY and tell you that you aren't acting like your usual self is such a good feeling.

On Thursday, I posted on fb that I wanted a brownie. Then Aly said she would bring me one and followed through with a chocolate chips embedded, sprinkles encrusted brownie. It was perfect to get what I wanted when I really needed it.

On Thursday as I was doing my usual grocery shopping stress release, I ran into Asha who said she was making pizza for dinner. In class, Wade gave me the foil-wrapped gift of lunch. It was deliciously topped with green peppers and gobs of cheese.

Friday, I also happened to be presented with a Dirt Cowboy gift card because I had the highest recorded MEP/MIP sum of the class. $25 to coffee, tea, and baked goods. Can't wait!

Yesterday, I also received a $10 rebate card for purchasing qualifying products at the grocery store WEEKS ago. I love forgetting about things and then being unexpectedly reminded with the arrival of what seems like a present!

THEN, my mom called a bunch of times today but I let them go to vm because I'm studying. But after the third time, I picked up in case it was an emergency - she was just calling to see if I want the iPhone. :D
