Thoughts.com Blogs - That final feeling

Isn't it wierd how one good thing at the end of an experience can make that entire event seem awesome? It's like we don't have enough memory to remember the other feelings we had about something, so we just stick with whatever we felt last.
For instance, I wen t to actual classes today, which meant that I was surrounded by people I didn't really know. I'd seen them before but that was about it. They'd never seen me... well kind of, but they didn't recognize me. Why would they? Well about half way through my break between classes I was starting to feel a bit disappointed. Nobody had decided to talk to me all day. It was stupid that I felt that way, because I didn't exactly go talk to anybody (so much for that "take risks" idea), but I had kind of hoped that I'd meet some new people today. I was dissapointed that I hadn't.
Well, as I was leaving after my last class, a pretty good looking guy held the door open for me. I thanked him and we ended up talking a little as we walked to our cars. I mean it wasn't like a big deal or anything, but it made me want to go back to classes again. I was left feeling like I actually might meet people there instead of the feeling of wanting to go home that I had been having all day. All because one cute guy was friendly to me as I left. Now if that had happened in the beginning of the day I probably wouldn't have noticed and I would have not wanted to go back to classes again.
Why is that? Why can't I remember the exerpience as a whole? Why can't I weigh out the good and the bad and then decide what I think of something, rather than sticking with that final feeling? Why is it that no matter how good my day is, if something crappy happens at the end of the day, I feel like crap about that whole day? And I wonder if there is a way I can change that. Hmm... I guess I'll just add that to my list of things about myself to work on. Along with finding a way to take my classes at the college whenever I feel the urge. And making some friends from out of town. Wow I've got a lot to work on.
