Literary Journal- Katy Sumsion

This is my usual journaling style:
Yesterday was an OK day. I went to work around 7:45am. It was cold outside, and I didn't really want to go in, but I figured after missing almost a week of work I had better show my face. I needn't have bothered, though. There was hardly anything to do, so I ended up mostly just working on homework for the morning. Good thing, too. I was getting behind. After work, I went to water aerobics and did some funky dance moves in the water. It was a surprisingly good workout. After that were the rest of my classes. Visual rhetoric was dry as usual, English novels was fantastic, and we had a really good discussion in LDS lit. Went grocery shopping. Made curry for dinner.

1.Waking up yesterday honestly felt like the hardest thing I had ever done. My eyelids were crusted shut, and my body was about three times as heavy as it usually is. When I finally pried myself out of bed at seven, I stumped over to the bathroom and beheld my reflection in all its glory: bedhead, red lines crisscrossing my face from where it had been smashed into the pillow, and my t-shirt crumpled up around my waist. After brushing my teeth and putting on clothes, I walked to the door, bracing myself for the cold. I was not disappointed, the fine weather of last week seemed to have disappeared. "Well," I thought, "at least I can start wearing sweaters again."

2.-David leaving at 6, while I sleep in until 7.
-Brother Wilson showing up at 9am when I arrived at 7:45
-My water aerobics instructor (I forget her name) doing ridiculous dance moves for me to imitate in water
-Professor Mason discussing the genius of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey
-Lindy running over my pie crust at the grocery store, and me sending her in for a new one.

3.Why did I have such a hard time waking up yesterday morning? Why has the weather gotten so cold all of a sudden? Why can't I seem to focus in my visual rhetoric class? What is the point of going grocery shopping when most of the time I don't even feel like cooking?

4. In the morning, I felt mostly exhausted, but as the day went on, my emotional energy increased a lot. I was feeling pretty pointless at work, so I started doing my homework. That helped me feel more on top of things. My water aerobics class really woke me up. It got my blood pumping, and I left feeling energized. My classes, in large part, made me excited to be an English major, and excited for my opportunities at work. I was hungry when I went grocery shopping, so I probably bought more food than I should have.

5. God was watching out for me today. I woke up late, but still made it to work early. Tender mercies, right? I had some extra time to work on homework at work, which was a great opportunity for me to catch up. I really felt the spirit in my LDS lit class; we read a Eugene England article about the importance of the church in relation to the gospel, and I felt the need to correct my attitude a bit. Family home evening with Dave was great as well, we discussed the different accounts of the First Vision from a book I've been reading by Steven Harper.
