Stress On Stress On Stress

Day #217

Today wasn't quite as bad! I was a little tired for class, but that's pretty typical, especially when my politics professor tells multiple stories that I don't really care about. :P

During class, I got an email from the Des Moines Alumnae Association President, Allison, talking about my Founders' Day event on Saturday and about the reunion that weekend. She was talking about being at the house to help set up on Saturday at 9:45, but the event wasn't supposed to start until 1, so I was confused as to why she was coming so early. Long story short, she had the event down as being from 10:30am until 2pm, without consulting with me, and the chapter had the event down in our calendar from 1-3pm. -_- That means that I had to somehow use my $100 budget to now provide food for almost 200 people, which includes lunch. FML. I was already struggling to buy supplies, dessert and other additional items needed for the day, so I have no idea how I'm going to afford lunch! Ugh. -_-

After MULTIPLE emails back and forth between myself, Allison, and Lynette, my chapter President, I ended up getting the Alumnae Association to pitch in $200 for food, since the association is now making me provide lunch, I got supplies (cups, plates, etc.) from leftover events that were at the house, and I got the other additional items, food trays ordered, and drinks and cookies taken care of. It was a CRAZY day! :P

I was so beyond stressed for most of the day that I made myself sick, and I didn't even eat lunch. Going to work was a nice break from all the stress, and it helped me get my mind off of everything. Work was literally the highlight of my day. :P
