Just Because

In case you hadn't noticed, I've been having a bad couple of weeks. And I don't see an end in sight any time soon. Today has been kind of stressful, even though I have been trying to pretend its not. My classes are 6 weeks long. Except for that one that was 8. And the one I start today that is 3 weeks. I go to class on Wednesdays. Except this week when we asked if we could hold class on Monday instead because of Thanksgiving.

I thought it was a good idea at the time. But this weekend was spent writing the paper that is due tonight. And the 5 minute oral presentation that goes along with that paper. Also due tonight. I had 4 days to do them. I am not pleased with either one of them, but have no time to do anything different. And whether or not I get to continue in the program depends not on the straight A's I have gotten in the last 8 classes, but on this paper and 5 minute presentation. And one 20 minute interview in 3 weeks and whether I stick with the method I tell the teacher tonight that I plan on using.

I'm stressed.

Then Shelly called me from work because someone had just dropped these off at my office.

It was early out so I had gone home already. Shelly wanted to know if she should put them in the vase at work or bring them to my house. I said it depended on who they were from. I had her open the card to find out.

It said,

"Dear Sandra

Just Because

Have Great Week!"

Then it was signed. I had Shelly bring them to the house. And while I still feel stressed about the paper and presentation and class as a whole, it is going to be all right Because my friend that sent the flowers understands that in life, Nice Matters.

Thanks friend! Love you.
