Yesterday

Yesterday I forgot to set an alarm before I went to sleep. Despite this, I woke up forty minutes before my first class feeling more refreshed than I ever have from sleeping. After my classes I headed to George's and ate lunch with one of my best friends from high school. I haven't really seen or hung out with him lately and it was nice to sit and talk for awhile.  Later in the day I went home to eat dinner with my family. They live in Wimberley which is only about thirty minutes away so I can go and be back without a problem. It was nice to go home and see everyone and catch up. My brother is playing on the junior varsity basketball team as a freshman, my sister has been picked to lead her little club, and my other sister is on student council. After catching up we had homemade chicken strips with green beans, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and salad. We also had homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Sometimes when I've gone home, I feel awkward because I don't live there and am out of the loop and not really involved with what's going on at home. Last night I didn't feel that way at all and it was very refreshing. When it was time to leave I grabbed some extra jackets and a bag of cookies to bring back to the dorm. The ride back was also very relaxing and calm. Back at the dorm I knocked out my laundry and some math homework before rejoining my friends who were making crapes. I finally went to bed around three after discussing philosophy and Star Wars. All in all, yesterday was a good day.
