Sadface. W #2!

So here it comes: the obligatory "OMG Why me?" sadface entry.

It began.... well it really began at FTC, but I decided to overlook it.

I had a midterm today at noon, so I set my alarm for 10am to get up. I heard it go off, but knowing myself, I set it for 10 because I knew I'd put it on snooze. For some reason, it never went off again. I'm kind of afraid there's a button on the side of my phone to put it on snooze, and then the other side completely turns it off. And that's what happened. I heard my phone ring, and I pressed the button to make it stop ringing. I shortly woke up thinking, dang... I haven't heard my alarm go off in a while.

The student's nightmare: My midterm at noon.... and to my horror I looked at my phone and it was 1:59pm. First thoughts...: HOLY SHIT! I must be dreaming! I hope I'm dreaming!

After checking every clock in my house, I resigned myself to the fact that it really was 2 in the afternoon, and I has missed my midterm. Immediately afterwards, I panicked. I e-mailed my professor nearly begging to take a make-up, and she responded with a "inclined to deny" my request. But she's going to talk to my TA about what I should do. I don't know if I want to take the make-up if she gave me the chance anymore. I can drop it (with yet another W on my record for the SAME class), and take it again next fall. I have room for it. It sucks because I could have taken some other class this quarter that I really wanted. Like photography. But then again, that requires a digicam that's far more advanced than any one I have right now.

Alright, so the thing about FTC. I know I wrote to my board that I wanted to design the shirt to where they would like it, and the members would like it, and that I didn't care about what district or international thought, but... I guess this still sucks.
Our shirt didn't even place in the top three at FTC's T-shirt Design Award. I let the club down whose T-shirt design had won first place for the past two years. We didn't even get in the top 3... Needless to say, I was disappointed. Just like with the scrapbook at DCON.

Other things really brought me down today but I'll choose not to mention them here.

The Circle K meeting really did work to make me feel better. And the people in it. It was probably one of our most exciting and energetic meetings ever.

I have yet another midterm, and a meeting to go to tomorrow! ARG I don't want to miss those... so I'll head to bed soon. As unready as I am for both of them, but because that meeting with my project partner depends on me being ready.. I'll have to work on that a bit.
Good night. It's not the end of the world, I know, but it makes things difficult. Cue "I Will Survive."
