Ups and downs
Here in Little, home of the UMaine psychology department, sitting right under the Psi Chi board, it just doesn’t feel the same.
One of the theories I’ve held throughout my life is that the good things in life and the bad things of life all balance out over a given period of time. It’s not exactly the most positive theory, but a lot of times it turns out to be true. Yesterday was a perfect example. I woke up at 6:30 on Monday and Tuesday acting just like it was Christmas morning; I woke up, rushed to my computer, and checked Wired. After I read the story yesterday, I thought to myself, “I hope it doesn’t balance out.” Well, it did, plus some. Michele meant a lot more than any Wired article.
My theory’s not so great if something great happens, but it’s great if something bad happens. It reminds me to keep a positive outlook anytime anything bad happens. I’ve started to feel a lot better since yesterday afternoon, but it’s still a shock. It’ll probably always be hard to go into room 140 and room 120.
