Fascination of the way we feel.

Today didn't seem to start off as a good day as I opened my eyes to see the clock strike 11:26AM, in a hurry and a panic I rushed and threw on whatever clothes my hands grabbed at in my bureau and I rushed out of the house- bag in hand. I never sped to class as fast as I could as I did today. I had a math test starting at 12 noon and I wasn't sure I was going to make it. But sure enough, mildly speeding- still obeying the law I caught every green light and made it to school at exactly 12 noon. I ran up the stairs, swung open the door and saw my professor going over one of the math equations that some student asked about, I assumed. I scanned the room to see if my seat was available, the third row, 5th seat back. No, someone was sitting in my seat, but there was an empty seat available in that same row, that explained why my seat was taken. The girl didn't want to sit in the front today, I assumed. After my professor stopped talking, he instructed that we put everything away (except for a pencil of course & a graphing calculator). He handed me 7 papers that I passed back to the rest of my classmates and stared down at my test and began working.
I rose my head up about an hour and 15 minutes later, I don't remember what I was thinking at this time except for that I didn't think I did one of the problems right but it was a thought that was soon canceled out. I handed my professor my test and he handed me my quiz from the previous day. 3.75% out of 4 questions. I missed .25% on the last question. Professor B. smiled at me and mumbled a "good job". I made my way back to my seat, grabbed my bag and left still staring at my quiz. It seemed that I made a silly error and forgot to carry over the negative sign to my final product. I felt disappointment but then decided it wasn't something I should be down on.
I walked around campus looking for a snack machine since I hadn't eaten that morning due to my rush out the door. I had found a vending machine around the same building that my next class would be in. I settled for some Lays chips and coke. After I got back my 75 cents I walked back to my car, rolled down the windows and ate my snack in silence. I stared at the clock and saw that it was 1:45pm. Class would soon start in 15 minutes, my Psychology class. So I rolled up my windows, turned off my car and got out and locked it. As I started to walk back to class I looked up at the sky and hoped that today would be a good day. And it was.

Once class ended I walked out as confident as I ever was going in. The sun started to shine even though in the far West of the sky the dark rain clouds loomed over. I felt like I wanted to skip to my car but I decided against it. As I sat myself back in my car I left campus and searched for a gas station. Playing The Offspring as loud as I could in my car I sang along. I thought of all the good things that would happen to me if I went ahead with my future plans. I stopped at a red light and texted my Mom, "I was thinking of doing a psychology major and might wanna go for a phd. What do you think?"
I smiled as I thought of it more. The light turned green and I continued to drive.

As I closed in down my street towards my house I noticed that no one was home, that put a damper on my mood, I was so excited to tell my Dad about my new found love for Psychology. I pulled into the drive way, as I opened up my car door I looked up at the sky again hoping that it would rain. I slammed my car door and walked up the steps to the front door, I found my house key on my key chain and unlocked the door. I walked in and a dropped all of my books in my bedroom and went straight to my computer. I decided to start my Psychology assignment on which field of Psychology I would prefer...
