Decesions

If my whole day had a theme, it would have to be on decisions. Decisions I am free to make can alter the course of my day. One of the first decisions I had to make was how to carry a bunch of stuff for my project to class because it was a "work day." Now, instead of trying to stuff everything into my large bookbag, i opted for my messenger laptop bag and a brown paper bag with handles. I had no idea why I thought this was a good idea to begin with, at the end of my mile walk to class, I didn't think it was a good idea, and when thinking about how I had to walk back home with it, I thought it was an even worse idea. I made it all the way home with a pulled back muscle, a sore spine, and an arm that I couldn't bend from holding too much weight for too long, and I learned that I would never do that again. I would make better thought out decisions in the future. Another decision that affected this walk: shoes. Yes, I chose the ones that give me a blister on the back of my heel on my right foot. I can't believe I chose this over my slightly damp shoes. Stupid me. These situations and my decisions only hit the top of the iceberg. There are lots more, and they go deeper than these. Here's the short of it: my professor got upset at me because I didn't work on my project since monday and basically got in trouble, I could have went into an anxiety attack and do nothing to work on it in class, or I could have figured out what I can do here and now and to get things done during class time (which I did). For my exam in history I could have gave up, but I tried my hardest for two days. I failed it, but I'm sure I answered all the slide identification questions right (which is the hardest for me, so it's a personal win).
