it made me mad all over again but i'm starting to get over it quicker because i didn't shut it out like i usually do things!! for those i didn't tell the story to...here it goes....its all my fault so i was really mad at myself that depicted on self loathing, sad huh? well, it started Wednesday. i just got done with long weekend (i had Monday and Tuesday off) when i didn't look at the weeks upcoming work. when i finally did on Tuesday, i noticed i had 4 papers due (mostly 5 page papers) and an exam. fast forwarding, i finished the first two Wednesday (don't ask how i did it, i still don't know), then came Thursday when i finished my third paper no problem, or so i thought. i was up until 3 or 4 trying to finish my paper and study for my Chemistry exam. i finished my paper and dropped on my bed and fell asleep. when i woke up, i started to freak! it was 9:45 and i thought i slept though my test! i felt so stupid. but then there was no time for that because i had a class right after, so i thought. so i ran to the library, and polished up my paper and printed it. then i scurried to class. when i got there, there was nobody!
so i thought "oh crap! did they change the room it was to be held in!"i sat down and pulled out my laptop to see if we got an email saying that the class was being held in another room. nada. so i text one of my friends that took the class with me. she wrote that class was to be held in the same room. i was like
"What the hell?" that was when i took a minute to think. then it hit me. I WAS RUNNING AN HOUR EARLY!
i had been rushing around since i got out of bed, i did not think things through. when it was 9, i was thinking like it was 10. so i had enough time to make it to my exam but didn't because i thought it was over! the stupidity i felt was so unbearable i had to go to a place where i felt calm. so i went to the John Carter Brown library and looked at 16 century maps. i managed to sit through my noon class as if i wasn't the biggest idiot that ever lived. then it all came out when i was talking to my friend over lunch.....reliving all this in my mind, makes me feel stupid and mad all over again. one day, not today or even tomorrow, i will look back on this event and laugh...one day.

we started to freak out and ran to the arrival/departure screen. it was the next track over.
when we got to Boston, after almost missing our stop and getting nervous on the ride, we met one of our friends who is from Boston. we went to eat at this place called Charlie's Salon. when we were waiting for our table, two natives came up to us and asked what tribe we were! it was a surprise. they were sioux and the girl was attending high school at one of the private schools! my friend from Boston said that it was a really REALLY good school but expensive as hell. i think she said 50 thou year
. i was going to invite them to eat with us but they looked like they were headed somewhere. so, we ate one of the best burgers i've ever had in my life! then went up and down downtown shopping. we went to this candy store
you remember those? they were sour candy that came in tubes and had a "snake" inside of the tubes?they usually come in grean (sour apple)/red (sour cherry). but this store only had the spary candy. they don't sell them on the rez anymore...at least i can't find them. then we went to the mall (huge)
i was so happy, i didn't care. i picked myself up and burshed myself off and we continued to walk. later that night, after our walk and finishing our work, i was packing my things to go back to my dorm and i couldn't find my phone. i was sure i had left it on the desk before our walk. We tore the room apart looking and called it several times with her cell but still couldn't find it. she sujested that i had dropped it on our walk, but i was so sure that i hadn't taken it with me i didn't consider it. it was about 2 in the morning and i hadn't gone to sleep about 4 the pervious night so i was too tired

i got so mad i started to kick at the snow!! on my second kick, out flew my silver phone. i was so takenaback i just stared at it dumbly
for awhil before laughing like a crazy person
picking it up. good thing it was still working. it had been in the snow for about 4 hours. i quickly called my friend to tell her it was alright. still laughing, i walked back to my room, stayed up for another hour before going to sleep. over a good night, made me feel alive. too tired
to care, worried
about my phone and contacting my friends/family from home, and sweet elation
