Today is Valentine's Day. For most other people it's one of two things: for couples it's a day to be publicly mushy about their relation. For others it becomes what is known as "single awareness day." I found it refreshing to see some statuses on facebook about using Valentine's day to show your love for those you care about in general, making the day slightly more positive. But what about me?
For me, it's only Tuesday.
Seriously. I went through my schedule like it was any other Tuesday. I woke up at 8, fell back asleep until 9:30, making it out the door at 9:50 for work at 10. I went to chapel, hung out with peers, went to my two classes, hung around the house, went for some dinner and then off to night class. Then to the new media lab to finish up some work. Just a regular Tuesday in my book.
I'll admit there was some different about today, but it was just Valentine's day related, maybe. I don't know. Despite recieving little valentines from some of my friends, today didn't feel any different. Probably because I find myself not having real expectations for holidays anymore. I never expect anything on valentine's day, so the fact that I got these little valentines is good enough for me.
Fun fact before I finish: Valentine's Day is the day that the martyred saint Valentine (or Valentinius, for those of you who are into Latin) was buried. How's that for a cheery holiday? Just putting that out there.
Happy Tuesday!
