School actually went great. I got all of my work done, had a good time with my classmates, picked up some completed artwork, cool. After school was a different story. I tried to pay for my college class, which apparently couldn't be done because of the whole 'college screwing up my application' process. So that was nice. I immediately left to take my sister home and put on something nice to wear because I was going to apply for a job near my home and interviews are given on the spot. Well, after spending 10 minutes trying to fill out the damn application I had to go home to complete what information I didn't have on hand. So I came back, was told to come in to the office, and the lady immediately told me that I was dressed inappropriately for an interview and that I could come back tomorrow and 'try again'. Great. All of this being completely my fault, too. So I head home feeling quite bad about myself. Then class time rolls around. I get there, find a parking spot, and get out of my car suddenly fearing that it will be towed or the car next to me(which was badly parked) would hit me upon pulling out. Then I remember I didn't write down my classroom number, and calling home didn't help, though I fixed this problem quickly by checking in the administration office for the class schedules. I felt a little bit better. So class is going fine, teacher's cool, the girl and her boyfriend next to me are rather annoying(talking and fiddling with cell phones, etc) but I can deal with it. The teacher lets us out when he says, "I don't have anything more to say". So what do I do? leave. Sure, it's a little early, but hey, nobody has any textbooks with them, and this is just the course introduction, no big deal, right? Wrong! I didn't realize that there was at least an hour left when I decided to go home, and so, it is now 8:30 as I realize that, yes, the teacher was probably only letting us out for a break. That's why students were hanging around outside of the buildings when I was leaving,(me, with all my common sense today, thought 'hmm..these guys look too old to be calling home/friends for rides' and then left it at that)
I think the worst feeling of all is knowing that I was the one who could have prevented all of this if I just used my brain today. I'll admit I was frazzled with all of the stress of 'class starts today' and 'i still need to pay for that class' and 'i have my first interview ever today, don't fudge it up' filling up my head, but I don't feel that it is an adequate excuse for my stupid behavior. Seriously, how do I survive when I act so damn retarded sometimes??
