Bad day

So I haven't updated my blog in quite sometime, mainly because med school is sucking any life I have left right on out of me, but today I wanted to write in my journal so I could remember everything that has already happened and it's only 1pm.Today is my 23rd birthday and it started off rotten as can be! There is a huge winter storm tearing through the US but luckily there was no rain or snow here in Philly. The one thing that did happen was a lot of freezing rain over night. So I geared up for school with my trusty Sorel snow boots and headed out the door. As I walked 2 feet away from my apartment I fell...flat on my butt! I almost turned around and called it a day but I had mandatory class today so I had to make it to school somehow. Once I made it to the subway I was already in a bad mood... thinking, I shouldn't have to face this bad weather and falling all over the place on mybirthday?!? Once I got off the subway at school, I fell AGAIN walking to school. This time people were around and helped me up but for some reason it made me very upset. I ended up having to take a moment before class and hid in the private bathroom on the first floor and just let the tears flow. Once I composed myself as best as I could, I headed to class. Class was alright but I was still NOT in the mood to be happy, after all I was still holding back tears. After the first class, things started looking up.


First, I got my first couchsurfing request!! I'll be hosting 2 girls from Vienna, Austria next Tuesday! I'm excited to meet them and time permitting, show them around Philly!

Second, my good friends made me brownies!! Yummy!! My friend Katherine also got me a Diet Mountain Dew, she always knows how to win me over. :)

Third, I got a package from my best friend Chelsea! She told me she had sent a card and thought it might not make it in time but it DID!!! The best part of the present was the Symphony bar of chocolate!! And the card was pretty funny too...not going to lie. :) The card fit me perfectly!! (Pictures of the card below :) )

Just in case you can't read it, it says "There's no place like Paris, There's no place like Paris"

haha! Never thought of it that way, but it's definitely very true!! Why on Earth would you wish for Kansas if you had magic shoes?!?! :)

I guess I just need to focus on the good things that have happened today and not let the bad things hold me down. I'm determined to turn this birthday around! I decided to take a couple of hours off from studying and then get back to the books! Hopefully it's all fun and games from here! I don't think I can handle anymore bad/sad things happening today.
