Going once... Going twice... SOLD!

yeah, today was the pembroke date auction which was a huge success for us as a whole. the ladies that showed up were bidding quite high on average, and my confidence was boosted up as well. last year, as some of you may know, i went for only a whopping $8 which was, needless to say, a blow to my self esteem. this year, however, things were different. i didn't go for $8, no no. i went for $68! yes, and who ended up making the highest bid might you ask? none other than the lovely Ivy Lee Beck. isn't that funny? she's like the only one here who knows what it's like comin from high point, and i even know her family. anyways, i felt good, but right now i'm exausted. the day was pretty basic utnil about two o'clock when i started helping with the set up for the auction. that lasted until around 6:30 and then i got cleaned up, attended the auction, and then packed up at the end. all-in-all, a satisfying day. there were a few situations that came about that gave me some up and downs, but they just turned out to be miscommunications, which was cool by me. speaking of which, it turns out i'm not really rejected emotionally as i stated in my last journal. i just figured i was simply because that's the way it has worked up until now, but again, new things happen every day reguardless of how much you think you know. that's what's great about life. i wouldn't trade the bad situations that i face daily for the world, not because i'm a masacist, but because i learn so much. tomorrow is what i'm really worried about though. i have to wake up at eight o'clock again and sit through a three hour biology class. talk about getting your day started off right. i think i'll probably just curl up and die or something, but i'll go. i have no other choice really. i do have to get a paper typed tomorrow though, and i have to pay my phone bill, which i have yet to do, but i'm getting all of this done before the weekend because i'm not worrying about ANYTHING when saturday hits. instead i'm going to sleep in, wake up, shower, do something creative, spend time with the folks here i care about, and then i'm going to work the desk. after that, i might just stay up late because i feel like it, and then i'm going to bed. sunday, i'll wake up and go to church and then i'll come back and CLEAN UP MY ROOM! it's a mess in here because i've hardly been in it all week. i've really not been that busy, and when i get back i don't feel like cleaning as i usually would, but i just crash... or write a journal and then crash... but for now i think i'm in the clear, other than the school work that i still have to do. i always get that stuff done though, so i'm not overly concerned. i hope all of you learned something valuable today whether it be large or small. until i write again, peace and love.
