Now that I've calmed down.
Let me explain the events yesterday that led me to want to end my own life (and I'm being really sarcastic here so don't get worried or anything).
I had my first lab exam yesterday. Anyone who knows me knows that for the past three weeks, I've been eating, breathing and sleeping the memorization of the skeletal system. I really wanted to kick this exam's ass and thought I was doing well, but then screwed myself over a technicality; for bones that are doubled, like the femur and humerus, we had to identify left or right using the organism's anatomical orientation, and not how I observed the bone. I did the latter and thus screwed myself out of points. It was a small mistake but it was the straw that broke the camel's back; I actually cried when the professor told me I couldn't change my answers (I don't like crying in front of professors). I can't remember the last time I was so mad at myself. It ruined my whole day.
Plus, last night as I was going to bed, I remembered that the professor had given us a takehome portion of the exam, and it was due today. I had completely forgotten about it. I skipped my history class this morning to do it, and since I got really shitty sleep last night, I feel less than par so I'm skipping lecture today (even though we have an exam, I'll get someone's notes from them).
I overreacted a bit, I guess. When I turned in the other part of my exam to my professor, she already had the exams graded and I got 82 out of 90 points, which in all reality isn't that bad. If I get 10/10 on the takehome portion I still get an A. I just wish it hadn't come at the price of a day's worth of my sanity.
Since I'm skipping class but my mom would seem suspicious that I'm home already, I'm going to buy a pair of jeans for prog. This is the part of mom being home all the time that I don't like so much.
Maybe this evening will improve my mood. I'm going to church, meeting Nick for Frostys and catching up on a ton of reading. It could be worse.
