A Kinda Late Realization [To future me: read this]

I'm sitting here, unable to fall asleep, so what do I do? I clean my desk and write a huge "To-Do List" of things I need to get done by the end of this week and they have little boxes on the right side of the names so I can have the pleasure of checking the box off, every thing on the list I get done [yes I'm easily amused/happy]. Then I started cleaning the little table where people with desktops put their keyboards. It had a pair of pink with dark-yellow stripe gloves, three Chinese takeout menus, my Dean's Letter, the letter that said the school approved the appeal I submitted for taking an overload of courses this semester [24 credits], a copy of my appeal, a small bag of those crunchy snack peas, the letters people sent me in my care package, an empty bandage case, a marker I found during orientation a few doors down, two rulers [including a stress testing ruler thing], a small "envelope" that had my address on it around 2x4 inches big, a tiny pair of scissors, one big pink eraser and one of those good HI-POLYMER white erasers [Which were both new, since I started using pen in college], three highlights I got from TOPS the Supermarket, a business card from the University Health Center with its fax written on it because they kept not getting my health forms, 6 mini highlighters I bought with my mom at Walgreen's before I came to college during the Back-to-School Sales, a green PAPERMATE 0.7 lead mechanical pencil, and finally, what this post was based on, 20 pens, half of them my dad brought me when he went to Syracuse for an interview and came here to see me, since Syracuse is around 1.5 hours drive away from here. It just made me realized how must I actually appreciate my parents, bringing the "thick" pens I specifically asked for them when I called them a few days before. It just made me realized how much they've done for me. Sure I'm writing this the "night" after they called me like twice and spammed me many times about forgiving my TA for making mistakes and how I shouldn't be mad. since that's useless, and a waste of 90 minutes of my time, listening to their lectures, but I guess that's all forgotten right now as I organize those pens. Yeah... this post isn't like the usual me. Maybe I'm just tired since it is past 2:00 AM, but I'm going to say that it's one of the most important posts I'm going to post on this blog, and it has been so far my most important post on this blog.
