the letdown of the week

so i got a text on thursday night from an old acquaintance asking me if i was free to go the sunday morning of general conference. me, having never been to conference before answered YES!!! of course.  i have always wanted to go to conference and i was finally going to get my chance! the perfect way to end a bad week.  he told me that he would pick me up at my apartment at 7:30 in order for us to be at the conference center by 9.  i had a lot of homework saturday night so i didn't get to bed until about 1:30, but i still woke up at 6 (which, if you know me, is unheard of) and started getting ready to go to conference. i was so excited!  i texted my friend at about 6:45 asking if he would still be here at 7:30 and i get a text that says, "no, i screwed up. i'm just getting to salina."  this is the point where i started freaking out and it hit me that there was no way i was making it to general conference.  i texted him and told him to turn around and go home because we weren't going to make it, but he insisted on coming and spending the day with me.  all i really wanted to do was go lay in bed and wallow in my sadness about not going, but i had to entertain this guy that i haven't seen in a year instead.  so, let's just say that i had an awful ending to a terrible week.  it started with sickness, and ended with a huge letdown.  here's to next week being better! :)
