Today was one of those really difficult sort of days. (Counting today as the past 24 hours, since I still haven't gone to bed). I woke up just not in the mood to go to school. I got a really bad headache. I've dealt with a myriad of computer problems while trying to use my computer to do homework. And the list could go on.
As I came home for my lunch break, I ran into a good friend who spent the time with me just listening to everything that needed to be said. He then taught me a very important lesson on perspective. After hearing out my long list of problems, he responded, "Sounds like you've had a pretty rough day, but it's okay cuz you have red hair." (for those of you unaware, I dyed my hair red for Halloween and it hasn't washed out yet). I laughed at his remark, wondering what red hair had to do with anything.
Several hours (and several problems) later, the lesson finally sunk in. What does red hair have to do with anything? It doesn't! And in the long run, neither does homework or computer problems or bad days. To those who have asked, I've described my day as being "pretty good," figuring pretty good covers those days where not everything has gone wrong, but today really was pretty good. I made it to all my classes, got all my homework done (even if not till 4 in the morning), watched Sherlock, ate Filipino food for lunch, had a chance to talk with really good friends, and I have red hair.
