meh, beh, and gah
It just seems like the little things have been getting me down lately. I feel like I've been going nuts worrying about tests for the past few weeks, studying all the time, having little or no time for fun. And as I start to find out my grades, I feel like I know nothing of what my tests were on. I feel like my grades were just high enough to not be considered horrible, yet just low enough to be considered unsuccessful. And so far, I've found that on two of the tests I could have done better if I had just thought about a particular problem or two a bit more. It's like the difference between a 79 and an 80 or an 89 and a 90 (all out of 100). Getting a 79 on a test seems about 10 times worse than getting an 80 on that particular test. It's really annoying how sometimes one little thing on a test can mean the differnce between a "I have no regrets about my grade on this test" grade and a "sub-par, damn, why couldn't I have just gotten this one other problem right" grade. Maybe I've gotta learn to relax during tests a bit more. A lot of times it's really just the stupid mistakes that make me feel like a horrible student for having misread a question or fallen for the trickery of the professor's cryptic test design.
At least I won't be having to deal with any more major tests for a few more weeks. I need a break. The little things have especially been getting me down this weekend. Internet being down, bogged down with homework, nobody here but Mikey to keep me company :(, oh and here's a new one... I tried to do laundry a few hours ago, and when I go to put my stuff in a vacant dryer, I find that a single person seems to have managed to fill up all 8 dryers at once, well, only 7 actually, but I needed at least 3. It also seems that either more people are staying on campus during the weekend or the Union Deli simply can't find enough employees for weekends. Probably a little bit of both. For the last 3 weekends, I go to the Union Deli late on a Friday night, about an hour or so before it closes, 10pmish, and what do I find...NO LINE, whatsoever, nothing. I'm in, and out of there in about 5 minutes. I go there last night and it's like every food place on campus is closed, and everyone decided that this would be a superb weekend to stay on campus and get a late dinner from the deli. Last but not least, we come to the pain that Live Journal causes me, which I didn't get to fully express in my last post. Let's see, where to begin, ummm, I hate the way their site is organized. Everything seems to be so, irratically scattered about, and the way they separate things in the "Journal Manager" or whatever the hell it's called just bugs me. I feel like I'm taking a step backwards in terms of how few and confusing the options are for laying out my journal page. I literally took about half an hour, all of which was switching back and forth between the options page and the look of my actual journal to determine what element on my journal was changed by modifying a certain setting in the appearance options. Someday I'll finally buy some decent webspace and learn how to handle things like allowing others to post comments about my posts and then I won't have to deal with this crap anymore.
I know, I know, these are all such little things, but when you experience a lot of little annoyances in a row, they add up to one big pain in the ass. *Sigh* let's just start the next week already so I don't have to be soo damn lonely and depressed. The quicker the weekends go, the better.
Current Mood: Depressed
