rough start

First of all I forgot to mention two significant things yesterday.

1) I am so glad to be back in my our apartment with my own bed, shower, and closet. I am not living out of a suitcase anymore and I can watch tv whenever I want, and eat my own food! I was very grateful that I had a place to stay in the Bronx, but I really appreciate my own apartment now. :)
2) My luggage was a little delayed yesterday. I got back around 1 and was waiting for my luggage. Some came out and then this lady said that if you don't see your luggage they had to pull it off because the plane was too heavy. I go fill out a claim and hope that it was coming on a later flight that afternoon. They were going to deliver it when it came, so that was nice. Sure enough, it came last night so I didn't have any issues with it.

Today has been a rude awakening with school. I got up and went to my first class. Everything was fine and I checked blackboard to get something from that class and I saw an announcement for my speech class. It had the order of speeches and on what day. I was gone when they signed up for days, so I was about half way ready to do my speech if I needed to. I was planning on going home after class and practicing some, just in case. I saw the order and found out that I was supposed to go today, AND that I was FIRST. I am reading this while I'm in class, so I couldn't completely freak out, but my eyes got really big! I went home and practiced it a couple times and then I looked over our rubric and realized that I completely forgot about having a visual. I got even more stressed out and put a short slide show together with pictures. That was about 30 minutes before my class started. I was so thankful that I saw that though. I get to class and felt like I was a little overdressed, but it wasn't a big deal. I was unsure if we were going in the order on blackboard or not, but I kinda wanted to go first and get it over with. I hadn't seen anyone go and I just didn't want to think about it anymore. I went first and got it over with. I think it went pretty well. Now I am really glad I had it today instead of Thursday. I have a test Thursday morning, so it wouldn't have been fun to worry about both things that day.

I don't think I have anymore surprises this week. Hopefully not. I don't think I can handle anymore surprises.
