Happy May Day! I was curious as to exactly what "May Day" is, so of course I googled it. According to Wikipedia it is an ancient Northern Hemisphere spring festival and a traditional spring holiday in many cultures. Today feels more like summer though, since it is 80 degrees out. Uhg, I do not do well in the heat.
I took two showers today. Like always, I showered in the morning after my run. This afternoon I felt so gross/sweaty/somewhat sick from the heat that I decided to take a nice, refreshing shower. It was wonderful. A few days ago, I decided that I should make a real effort to take extra time and appreciate the nice warm shower that I am able to take each and every day. It's really crazy how much we take for granted, like having warm water to take a shower in or consistently having our stomachs satisfied with three meals a day.
That is why it kills me when people complain about the smallest, most insignificant things. Oh you have three research papers to write? Well guess what, there are so many people out there who would absolutely love to be at a four year university getting a college degree. Instead of stressing about my final that are next week, I am going to do my best to embrace the studying. Whatever happens, as long as I try my hardest there is nothing else that I can do.
