Superb Saturday!!!! And I mean SUPERB!!!

Today was definitely the best day that I've had in February while at Illinois Wesleyan! So many awesome things happened that I if I were to make a bullet point list of everything that happened, there would be 3 bullets. Don't believe me? Well, watch this....

• To start off my amazing day, as I foreshadowed in yesterday's post, I got to play for the kids auditioning at IWU. It went great. I played my Gottschalk piece, and they all loved it! Hopefully, I have caused many musical adolescent to consider coming to Wesleyan in the future.
  
• Fueled by my good performance on the piano, I was super pumped to run the mile at the Keck Invite today. My race was at 2:30ish, so I had a few hours after my recital to get mentally ready. Now, as I also wrote yesterday, I spent all of last night watching my track highlight videos and listening to "Rudy," and it helped out tremendously. My racing strategy went exactly according to plan, and I ended up running a 4:43.8, just three seconds off my high school P.R.! On top of that, all of my friends had amazing days on the track as well. It's just as much fun, if not more, to watch your friends succeed, so the meet in general was an amazing part of the day.

• Since it's Saturday, I'm allowed to have deserts. So, right before the 5K races started, some track buddies and I ran to SAGA and wolfed down some supper. I had a s'more cake, which was amazing, as well as a huge bowl of ice cream that I had to eat in two minutes in order to get back to watch the 5K. I got such a brainfreeze.

There, my awesome day summarized in three easy-to-remember main points. The only bad part of this weekend is that I have tons of homework that I should probably get a start on. However, since I had such a good day, I'm considering putting all my homework off until Sunday so that I can bask in my good fortune. We'll see what happens as the night develops.
