The other day I had a series of Amy moments.
I woke up early to an odd email from my housing place saying they were missing my deposit check... so I panicked thinking my mail had been tampered with, desperately searched for internet to check my account balance, emailed her back, and waited.
Then I rushed off to the graduate school orientation... running to catch my bus, I tripped and skinned my knee. Doing a class fall where you know you're going down, and could maybe stop yourself if you had any sort of reflexes- but I don't.
Walked off the pain, caught my bus with a slightly bleeding leg, and arrived at campus- ready to face the room full of grad students--- only to discover that the orientation was 2 days from then.
I thought that all of these tail-spin circumstances would have me running to the airport, to pack it all up and call it a miss, go home and see my family, friends, and dog.
But, I prevailed. And got a boost of confidence for taking care of me.
And don't worry, they found my check, my knee is only slightly scratched, and I prob won't make it to the actual orientation because that is my move in day. But, it's okay.
