Sometimes Life Gets in the Way

I started off my day today by writing a midterm. I honestly have no idea how that went, I'm kind of afraid to get it back in fact. But luckily when I got home John Green was live on Youtube so that was great for my mood. During this live broadcast he was reading the first chapter of his new book. Because I missed the beginning I tuned in about 3/4 of the way through and was thoroughly confused at first. But confusion quickly subsided into delight and now I am really excited for this book. The excitement quickly turned into a full out nerdgasm when he announced that if you pre-order the book called "The Fault in Our Stars" you will receive a signed copy. I just about had a heart attack on the spot and immediately pre-ordered the book. The excitement began to ware off and I realized that this book isn't actually going to be released until next year. May according to Amazon, and possibly March or April according to John Green. So that's a little bit sad, however, I have a spontaneous book delivery to look forward to in the first half of next year now. 

After the joy of pre-ordering the book I got a call from my dad telling me that his company needs a receptionist for August. This is something I've done for them in the past and other than having to get up at the crack of dawn it's not too bad. They pay better than my current job but I think that I'm going to have to turn it down for that reason. I have a current job. Even though I don't earn as much as I did working as a receptionist, I think in the long run it's probably smarter to keep the job in which you have the opportunity to keep instead of taking a job for the money that you will only have for a month. 

I finished off my day by going to my old middle school and meeting up with two of my friends and former high school teammates to play some basketball. I can't believe how much I miss it. There are aspects of playing that I definitely don't miss at all, but overall I really do miss playing. We decided that we need to get the whole team together at some point but there is no guarantee of that happening because everyone is so busy working/vacationing/getting ready for school. Sometimes life just gets in the way.
