Blogmas day 14: Grabbing Life by the Christmas Balls

 Welcome back to blogmas everyone! I was going to tell you about the drama with my exam. Well, the professor is notorious for writing really difficult tests. This one was no different. He tries to stump students on test questions, and has no qualms about it either. He is a self described "egotistic" (his words, not mine). Basically, is trying to trick us, no teach us. The exam had everyone freaking out. One girl behind me started to cry half way through and had to leave. One guy handed his test in half way through and said "I gave up". And then, as I was finishing up, the teacher announced we had a half hour left a guy behind me started to turn really red and started shouting about how hard this was and he "couldn't take it anymore" and "kept reading the same words over and over again but it wasn't making any sense!". I was dumb struck. I felt really bad. If I hadn't had studied so hard and got extra help, that exam would have made me it's bitch. It truly felt like floating up to heaven when I left that class for the last time. I felt the Christmas spirit re-entering my body with every step I took towards my car. I called Eddie and told him how elated I was. It no longer mattered to me how I did. What did matter, was that I was having a hard time. I wasn't getting what I needed and I picked myself and brought my ass down to school and refused to leave until I got what I needed to be prepared for this exam. Sometimes, you gotta grab life by the Christmas balls.

Today, as a treat, I got my car detailed and I had a facial with my favorite esthetician in Traverse City! I've missed her so much but I have school during the days she is open. Normally at I'm at her suite 4-5 times a month for services so it felt so good to be back. I'm glad both me and my car had a spa day.

What have you done today for self care?
