Just in case I was getting too excited about the holidays, I get an e-mail that I failed my thesis. Or rather that my thesis 'has to be entirely revised'. I'm not even sure what that means, but god damn it, if she makes one comment about income and wage being the same thing, I am shouting at her.
This week has been a clusterfuck anyway. Apparently, either something went wrong with the binding of my projects or (and I find this more likely) the economics teacher got one of my projects twice and didn't check the cover to see if it's the same version. This week I got an e-mail that the essay part of my thesis was the same in both English-Dutch and Dutch-English and that therefor I was plagerising.
I never knew you could plagerise your own work, but there you have it. It still isn't very clear which text she's seen twice, but I'd finally arranged that I could drop off the text in her office and she'd give me a pass anyway. (Even though she already read the digital versions when I send them in a fit of panic to prove I did too write two essays and said 'yeah, you passed'. I guess printing it out herself would be too hard.)
To top it all off I had an anxiety dream (it's not cool enough to be called a nightmare) about not being able to get off at the right stop and missing the train to my internship place. The busdriver in my dream told me I'd taken too long trying to get both my bags and getting out of the bus, so he closed the doors and drove on to the next stop 15 minutes away while I shouted at him. It was a sucky dream.
So: crap day, crap week and ruined holiday (like I didn't have enough on my plate for the holiday). Why did I get out of bed this morning?
