Today has been one of those days, you know? Nothing seems to be working out, and I can't just not care. My mantra right now is "deep breaths." In spite of this, or maybe because of, today held one of the best surprises I've had in a long time. Over the break I ordered my textbooks online, so today I made it to the post office to claim my packages four minutes before they closed. I then hurried off to lunch, had to wait for the sandwich line since there was nothing vegetarian, ate quickly, and power walked to class. Once seated, I began opening my packages so I could reference the books. Not once did it occur to me to check the labels, and this is where the surprise comes in.
I ripped open the smallest envelope containing what I assumed was the shortest of the books. I shook out what could plausibly be a very short book, but imagine my surprise when a pin tumbled out, too. Confused, I turned it over to see my letters shining up at me. What I thought was a fairly sketch version of Austen turned out to be a notepad and a handmade card. There was even a pencil. All of them bore our letters, colors, or both, and all were welcoming me to Beta Sigma Phi.
Aren't they cute? I have the best special sister ever :D I have the best sisters ever. Who else can make someone they've never met in person feel so great on such an off day?
