La Dia Dos:

Good afternoon viewers! I hope you have had a good day so far, and the rest of the day continues to be fantastic as well! I am taking a break from class, however have to get back at it a little bit later on in the day.
So what adventures did I, Ashley, have today you may ask? Well let me tell you what my day has been like so far:

My first class today was my Baby Bio class, and it started at 9:05. Like every other day, I had arrived promptly and was waiting for class to start. Normally, I sit with a few other Alpha Chis and I am always there first. Also like any other day, there were 45+ available seats where I was sitting, and about 10 in my row. Well, as I was waiting, a girl came and wanted in my row. Since I was on the end this was normal, I figured she would continue walking down further and leave an available seat or two beside me. Oh, but I was wrong. For some reason this girl, that I have never seen, spoken to, or met decided to sit down right beside me. Now, I understand that a seat is a seat, but I love my personal space, especially if I dont know the person sitting next to me and there are tons of open seats left in the auditorium. I kept to myself and went on like nothing was wrong. When it was time for class to start, I reached in my backpack and pulled out my book, highlighter and pen--and just as I did this, so did my new friend. At first I thought maybe it was a coincidence, but then I noticed when I highlighted she would look in my book very sneakily and highlight in hers. As the class went on I tried to mind my own business, and it was working. Then my teacher said we had some videos to watch, and she had already packed up. She let out a moan and a groan and said, "I hate this class! It goes on forever and ever!" I tried not to pay attention to her and watch the video. Finally my teacher said it was time to leave, and boy did I shoot up from that seat! You better believe I was one of the first out of that place!

After my wonderful Baby Bio class, I waited for the bus as I needed to go across campus for a test I had next. There were tons of people waiting for the bus and one finally came. I was one of the first on it and short after I had gotten on it, it started moving. I found this rather odd because normally the busses are jammed packed, but not this one. It was a mystery why more people hadn't gotten on. Two stops later I found out. This bus went off campus and I, along with the other people still at the stop needed to stay ON campus. I had gotten on the wrong bus. Being the person I am that worries about everything, I texted my sister asking her what to do, yet still trying to keep my cool around the other 5 passengers. Morgan never texted back, but I realized I was fine. Obviously the bus went back on campus, because thats where I came from. Five mintus later I was at my correct stop, and all the worry was gone!

Nect on the agenda was lunch and today was grilled chicken sandwhiches at my sorority house, one of my favorite days. It was such a nice lunch with good company--and of course Morgan telling her story from yesterday. Our friends could not believe what had happened and they commented that situations like those only happen in movies or on T.V. My sister and I laughed, because when you live the lives we do, it turns into everyday life.

While looking back and reflecting on my day so far I am realizing so much. I now realize that I should have been friendlier to the girl, I don't know what her situation is and it is not my place to judge. One day I might be in her shoes. I also realize that with the bus situation, I don't need to worry about the little things. God will take care of me, and all of my experiences happen because he allows them to. Not only this, but my experiences make me who I am today. Getting "lost" on the bus is not a bad thing, there is a first for everything, and my bad bus experience just so happened to be today!
