Oh my goodness: today (Wednesday the 20th of November, 2013) has been insane and it's not yet 13:00! Let me just go through today and you'll see why.
5:25 am: I wake up because I had a crazy dream about a giant centipede. That sounds silly. In my dream it was much more frightening.
6:30 am: My alarm goes off to wake up for school and so I do.
8:00 am: I'm walking to class IN THE SNOW! That's right folks, the first snowfall of the year for Chambery has occurred!!
8:02 am: I realize I am wearing my Toms--which are a cloth shoe--and my feet quickly become soaked.
8:26 am: I arrive at class with numb feet but overjoyed at the arrival of snow. I go to my class and take off my shoes and place them on the heater to dry. I then pull out my plastic chair and sit down only to jump off the chair in .05 seconds. Seriously you guys, Usain Bolt could not have jumped up faster. Since my feet were numb, I didn't realize that my big right toe was underneath one of the feet of my chairs. Thus, when I sat down, I sat down on my big toe and let me tell you, all these baguettes and cheese I've been eating? Yeah, I could feel it then.
8:27 am: I look down at my big right toe and I see blood, a blood blister, and a bruise forming under my nail.
8:28 am: I search for a band-aid yet to no avail. It's okay because it doesn't hurt too bad so I just let the throbbing go and then class starts!
8:32 am: My teacher asks me why I'm not wearing shoes which then leads the whole class to look inquisitively at me while I stutter.
9: 20 am: I realize I really need to use the restroom because I drank a lot of coffee this morning but I still have 40 minutes till our break. I decide, fully believing at the time that it was the correct choice, to wait till the break to use the toilette.
10:20 am: Our class break is 20 minutes overdue but since our class is having a heated debate about homosexual parents right to adopt children, our class break has passed us by. I am forced to get up in the midst of this debate and leave--however, it looks like I am raging out of the class because I was too emotional disturbed by the topic....great. Hahaha!
11:30 am: Class is over. Yay!
12:00 pm: I arrive home and decide that I will make some homemade hot chocolate. I heat up the milk. I then heat up the chocolate and meanwhile decide to check my email. A bit later, I hear a crack and smell smoke. The bowl in which I had placed the chocolate had broken into easily over two dozen tiny pieces in the microwave and the chocolate was smoking and burning. You know what?, I tell myself, this is okay. I clean up the mess and go on to make a successful (and delicious) cup of hot chocolate.
12:12 pm: I check my French university email account and realize that a French girl-- with whom I did a via ferrata expedition-- had emailed me over a month wanting to be friends. Of course I emailed her back apologizing for my stupidity in regards to my French email account. I hope she replies and wants to be friends still!
Well, there you go. I've caught you up to date with this day in my life. The most bummer thing is that I can't go to climbing today because of my toe. It's bruised and yucky looking. And, I can't go to climbing because in climbing, for those of you who don't know, you use your toes a bit to climb and I really don't want to put any more pressure and weight on my big toe than necessary.
But! All in all? I still judge that today is awesome. Why? Well, why not? I have so many things to be thankful for. I hope your day goes well dear reader!
