A Day and my Rollercoaster

It's just one of those days ... that an Eric goes through ...

A friend of mine once re-wrote the words to that Monica song. I guess I was in a prticularly bad mood that day, so he reworded the lyrics to reflect that and how I just wanted to be left alone, talking on my phone. Miju was definitely the best Indian lyricist ever.

Yesterday was definitely one of those days that Miju could sing for me. It's not that it was a bad day. But it was definitely one of the days I like to call a "Rollercoaster Day." A Rollercoaster day is one in which everytime something good happens, something bad has to happen to go along with it, and vice versa. So, in all actuallity, how the day ends up really depends on how it started.

It was a normal day for me. I got up, went to work. After work I went to class. My first class was Educ. in Society. We were getting our tests back from last time. I got a 67, which I was not too fussed about since I thought I did much worse. But, thats not to say i was too pleased either. So that was crappy. But, we got out of class early, so i went to the Voices desk at school. I ran into my little bro from last semester and was just hanging out. My little from this semester told us about the PT Society meeting and how they were going to have free pizza. I had just gotten back from getting a not so good grade, so Pizza was exactly what I needed. So, Michard and I headed off to crash their meeting. Luckily we showed up right as it was ending and we just snuck in to see our friends who just happened to hand us free food. Yeah!!!

So, all in all, good! So, I go to my next class, which starts at 8:30 PM! PM, dude! It's late by then. But, we were getting our tests back in that class too. I was so stressed. I thought I did horribly on the test. It was an essay test consisting of 4 essays. I thought I blew it so bad. Turns out, I got an A. YEAH!!!! Good good, right ...

So, life goes on and I head over to my littles apartment to help clean, since I was going to take over his apartment the next day for a meeting. I'm cleaning and cleaning and I had talked to some friends earlier who were going to come over to his apartment after we cleaned. We had a group plan for the night. We were going to the Megaplexxx. Oh yeah ... just what every good person needs to do ... go to the sex shop. So, since I was having a good day, and got an A (and i never get As!), I convinced my friend, who we'll call Mlsa, to go even though she didnt want to. It was for celebration of my great A! So, we're getting ready to go, 3 in my car and 3 in Mhris's. Mhris all the sudden comes running up to my car banging on the window. Turns out ... BOOOO ... I had a flat tire. Again ... BOOOOO. Anyways, we leave my car and head on to the plexxx.

We come back after going to the plexxx and to whataburger (since someone who shall remain nameless ... Merry ... wanted a giant shake), of course, its raining. Of course, I am stressed now. I've had a major rollercoaster day. My car is broken. I don't know how to fix a flat. BOOOO ... nothing good is happening. Luckily Mhris and Merry know how to change a tire. I pretty mich just sit back and watch with my other friends ... everything works out.

Now, I was amazingly stressed and vulnerable ... Here I was a guy and didnt know how to change a tire. Luckily, my friends realized where exactly I was standing ... they made the very kind decision not to make fun of me. It had been a day. And when your friends don't make fun of you when it would be obviously very easy ... that makes a good day.

Good friends can make any day a good day.

And so goes the life ...
