Shit.
I totally forgot to do an assignment for my 2PM class today. It was a very simple and short assignment that took me 20 minutes to do, but I just forgot to put the work into a MS Word document and hand it in! I'm a freaking idiot. I was supposed to hand it in physically and via e-mail by noon, and I realize that I hadn't done so when walking into class with a friend at 2PM.
This has NEVER happened to me before in my ENTIRE life.
A bit of a wake-up call, eh? I really haven't been focusing on school. I've been focusing on music, friends, and my "community organizing" efforts (educational events, non-profit, fund-raising, etc.) This EPIC FUCKING FAIL for my favorite class, favorite professor, and just after an effing SPRING BREAK really showed me that I'm falling down on my duties as a student. I need to re-focus and re-commit to school. I have been striving for a balance, and have failed at that. While I did bring new things into my life to make me happier, I have been neglecting my schoolwork. This problem is not un-fixable, as finals are still far away, but it's definitely a problem that I need to rectify ASAP.
So, that said, I got the assignment done and handed in with sincere apologies, and she did accept it. It's not a graded assignment, just something that would have negatively effected my grade had I not handed it in at all. So, all-in-all, everything is fine. Really, I just think that this is the universe's way of scaring the shit out of me so that I get my ass in gear and back on track in terms of school.
This "balance" thing is really effing hard.
