*sigh*
Well, today was utter crap.
First, I woke up and started off the day with my digestive system letting me know that it didn't agree with the beef dish I had last night.
I finish that and go outside to walk to school, only to discover that it was snowing out today. Snowing. In fecking April. I thought I left this behind when I came to New Brunswick - they aren't supposed to get the odd weather Nova Scotia gets!
Anyway, so I spent a very miserable walk to school alternately getting soaked by freezing rain or getting snowflakes jabbing into my eyes.
Then Chem lab came. The only good thing about this was that it was the final experiment, and I hopefully don't have to take another lab class with that prof. I got the single worst lab report mark this term back, and finished off the period by having the relief of seeing that I had a B- in my chem midterm, which I had thought I failed... keep in mind C is a pass, here. Never a good thing when you are relieved at getting a B- in a course in the area you want to do an honours degree in - which you need an A- average to do. Well, I'm not exactly being honest about that chem lab was offered - I did have the T.A. tell me that he thought I was grad school material when I told him I was thinking about grad school after graduation. So that was good, but other than that, most of this period was crap.
Then I utterly forgot that our substitute calc prof wanted us to meet in a pub for class today at 12:30 instead of our usual class at 8:30. Completely. Only realized a half hour after the class was supposed to have ended. So my first skipped uni class was due to an incredibly poor memory.
Then I got home intent on relaxing and maybe taking a nap... only to see the sheet of paper with my sisters SID written on it and remember that I needed to go take the check for her res fees and suchlike to Financial Services. So I go look where I left the check... and it's gone. As in nowhere. So I turn the room upside-down, in the process making a huge mess that I still haven't finished cleaning up because I didn't have time to be careful about it as financial services was going to be closed in an hour, it's a ten minute walk, and there's usually a twenty minute wait or so. I finally found it - right where I left it, only a book had fallen on top of it at some point between Tuesday afternoon and today.
So I go to walk off to Financial Services, only now it's absolutely pouring freezing rain and by the time I made it there, my heavy down jacket was a hell of a lot heavier as it was completely soaked through and my shirt was getting wet. Now very cold, very disheaveled and extremely soggy, I proceed to wait for a person to notice me (this takes about ten minutes). Said person laughed at how I looked when she saw me and then rubbed the fact that she was in a warm, dry office building by saying, "Tad wet out there, isn't it?" Anyway, we talk and within about 5 minutes I find out that I didn't have to bother since they'd already cashed a different cheque that my mother had sent about two weeks prior but thought didn't get through as they called about a week and a half prior asking where their money was.
I finish up with Financial Services and walk back through weather that is somehow even worse than the weather I walked to it in. I finally make it in and sit down to do some work on my project... only I realize I don't have the data and thus must wait until my lab partner sends me the info I thought I was going to have by then (to his defense, it's about a two hour bus ride to his house, so he hadn't really had much time to work on it).
I get absorbed in looking for a new go problems site since I've done all the ones I can at goproblems.com and if I get the others, it'll be out of sheer luck. Feel hungry, look up and... oh, crap. I have a half hour to get to karate. So, fine then. No supper until after it.
So, I walk once more through weather that seems to have deteriorated from the last time I went outside. Once again, by the time I arrive, I'm completely soaked through - even my shoes are dripping water. Then, I discover that I forgot my shoes and so had to borrow shoes from someone else who happened to have a spare pair because her kid always forgets them and said kid had for once remembered her shoes. Running for a half hour in ill-fitting shoes is not fun, especially when you have fallen arches and those shoes have high arch support. *wince* So I wound up with blisters on my feet and cramped toes.
Then, while we were doing basics for warmup, it seemed that my brain went splodey and I could not do anything properly. At all. So sempai put me in with the brand-new newbies and told me I should practice more at home. The annoying thing is that I have been practicing at home. As much as I can manage in a room with about 2m2 of floor space (when nobody else is in it). The next class came, and we did a lot of stance stuff where I found out that apparently, I've been doing my stances almost completely wrong for the past few months and so had a completely new front stance to learn.
Why did nobody tell me this before when it wouldn't be so hard to unlearn?!
Anyway, so that had my feet acting up with the pain thingie and foot spasms even more. And, of course the pain decided to peak on the way home when there's nowhere for me to sit down and take a break if I need one. So I gimped my way home... only to remember that I have double-booked myself for tomorrow evening (and how the hell did that happen? I never get social engagements - how did I manage to get one that conflicted with a Physics tutorial?). So. Crap. But I've decided that I'll do review problems and go talk to the prof in his office if I have any trouble tomorrow instead of going to the tutorial since that would probably work better, anyway.
And to top all this off, I have a shoulder cramp and can feel the mother of all tension headaches coming on.
You know what? To hell with homework. IT. CAN. WAIT. I think I'll play a few games of go and go to bed as soon as the relaxed quiet hours for last class bash are done with. So long.
