half a day

Okay so I have been feeling low - the kind of low where you can't put your finger on the problem.

Anyways, so I had been thinking of talking to my Spanish professor about my Spain plan - and finally I did! But before my Spanish class I had to meet my professor who is also my employer and gives me a meagre pocket money.

We did the usual work-talk that primarily consists of him saying I will soon have that ready for you so that you can start working on it. And then he said do you have any questions. This is usually the part when I say no, I don't and see you later! But today, as I was not my usual self, I decided to indulge him.

I asked him about the next quarter - in a way confirming if it will be less-doomed than this one (don't believe me, this is the time I exaggerate). Then I told him about my vague idea for the spring film that he will help us make. He went on to talk about my idea for almost an hour. He gave me new thoughts and directions that I can start working on right away. He congratulated me on my idea - and said you better not change it now, because he loves it so much. I told him about the problems I'm facing in my classes, and he gave me lengthy, but sound advice. I left his room ten past noon for my Spanish class, feeling somewhat relieved. On the way, I ran into another professor who hasn't taught me any courses yet, but is lovely and supportive. So I see she's busy and leave her alone. Then I go on to my fifty minute Spanish class, fifteen minutes late. After the class I insist on giving my mid-term exam that I had missed last week. My professor wants me to give it tomorrow, but then she agrees. After the exam I sit with her and talk about everything - my study abroad plans, my classes, american undergrads etc. She too tries her best to make me feel better. I thank her and leave.

I realized today how I have all these nice people who are meant to guide me - all I have to do is ask :)
