I still have a bitter taste in my mouth.
I have been dreading this lj entry! I have to get it over with so I can move on to new things. Ready for bitch session?
I am very angry at myself right now. There are good mistakes you make that you learn from and then there are mistakes that are just so utterly stupid that it pisses you off. I went to NO this weekend and I had a good time except the memory gives me quite a bitter feel.
Sunday night, I realized I left my rental car keys in NO. All my books and labtop were locked away in the backseat in my driveway. KC was nowhere to be found to get in touch with. I called Monday morning only to find out that Enterprise does not have SPARE keys! They are in florida. I have to have a key made. Monday night comes and I have AAA coming to make me a key. It gets worse. They can't make me a key because its a transponder key, aka an expensive key with a computer chip. Finally, tuesday, this morning, AAA tows me into the dealer. Total Transponder amount = 135.00 Nice. What a great way to end this 3 day hoopla. Saving money for Europe is really not working. I wonder how much that tow truck is going to be? I finally got my books and labtop today. I have a programming project due thursday. The software is still installing.
I feel stupid, careless, forgetful, irresponsible, childish, 16. I have not felt like this in a long time. I thought I had grown up, gained responsibilty, become an adult. I should not have let this happen. Why did I even bring the key!? My car was here in mobile. I know it does no good to ask these now irrelevant questions. I think this somehow stems from from my dad. He is so so so meticulous and perfect. I only know of 1 mistake that he has made like this. I used to make fun of how anal and perfect he was, it use to sicken me but now I understand it more. I am starting to go off in the deep end.
I am really good about letting go and moving on. Its one of my traits that I like. However, this feeling, this 3 day bitter taste in my mouth, is hard to swallow and digest.
