The Sudden Invasion of Paranoia and Worry

It's one of those situations where you don't even know how to react. My brain was trying to soak it in, but it simply couldn't.

Elder Gibby's mom texted me Friday night and told me that on Thursday, Elder Gibby had gone to the hospital and was pretty sick.

When your boyfriend is really sick and is in another country on a mission, what exactly are you supposed to do?!

I'm pretty sure this is what was happening in my head:
Emotions: Knock knoooock! We have a good amount of Paranoia and a heaping dose of Worry to deliver!

Brain: Maybe if I'm quiet enough they'll go away... I'll just think about puppies right now!

Emotions: Helloooo? I know you're there!

(After a good half hour, realization finally dawns on Chanel).

(Emotions break down the front door and dump their delivery in the foyer).
Emotions: Alright Paranoia and Worry, give it all you've got!
Paranoia and Worry: CHAAAARGE!

Brain: Nooo! NOO! GAH I JUST NEED TO STAY POSITIVE N' STUFF. PUPPIES, PUPPIES! AHHHHH!!
(Brain is successfully invaded by Paranoia and Worry).

So it's safe to assume that yes, I was paranoid, and yes, I was extremely worried.

He was in medical care and on bed rest for three days. I just wanted to know that my favorite boy was doing okay :(

A Lot of Things Change in a Year or Two

This past Wednesday I visited my choir from high school. Going back to my high school was... Interesting, to say the least. It's fun if you have a friend or two with you, but when it's just you... Things are kinda awkward. Was everyone always so young?

When I was walking down the hall to get a drink of water at the drinking fountain, a bunch of kids in P.E. stared at me like they knew I didn't belong...

Their stares were making me uncomfortable... It's not like I'm 50 years old or anything! I'm 18! Jeez, some of the high school seniors are older than I am!

After I got settled in the auditorium, I listened to the choir rehearse for their concert. During one of the breaks between songs, one of my friends asked me how college was. Uh, after seeing this place again... Where to start?

High school is terrible in comparison to college. That's it. End of story. I'd say I had a pretty good high school experience, but college is SO MUCH BETTER! Just trust me on this one. It's a fact of life!
