Three emotions for the three day weekend

My day started with a good mood.  I was already happy knowing that the three day weekend was so close.  This mood continued throughout the day.  There were multiple events during the day that triggered an emotion of excitement that enhanced my good mood further.  I had one class that got out early, a chance to catch up with a few friends over coffee and a lab that was canceled entirely.  These triggers allowed for my feeling of excitement to continue into the afternoon.  This was a very pleasant feeling.  

Once I got back to my apartment after classes, I decided to make a to do list for the weekend.  Looking at all that I need to accomplish over the next three days triggered a feeling of being overwhelmed.  This was less pleasant than how I was feeling earlier.  This emotion affected my mood.  I was no longer as cheerful as I had been.   

Currently, I feel a sense of relief.  I spent some time looking over my list and figuring out what I wanted to accomplish each day.  I realized that my list is actually quite manageable.  I think that earlier when I was making the list I let myself get stressed unnecessarily.  I overreacted even though at the time it seemed like an appropriate response.  This reminds me of Lazarus' cognitive appraisal theory.  Maybe my appraisal process caused be to react with stress because the list seemed overwhelming and nearly impossible to complete.  I now feel that I am capable of finishing all that is necessary and I know that I have three days to do it which is a pleasant feeling.  I am now in my good mood again and ready to get into my weekend.
