Awkward Day

Well, today was interesting. First off, I made the mistake of going up to one of my professors after she did a lecture on grad school and just asked her what to do about recommendations hoping she would say she would write me one. That was just stupid of me because she does not know me well enough to write one and it was just so awkward.

For the next thing I'm going to say, I have to go back to Sunday morning at 2am while I was returning the Chevy Impala rental I used to drive people to Hershey. I had to drop someone off at their dorm so I guessed I would just meet the people at the rental place to drop the car off. When I got there it was completely dark and no car lights were on. First thing I did was try to call the guy who was in the other rental we were going to drop off- I called twice and it went straight to voicemail. Then I was seriously about to break down because I was so tired from walking around Hershey the entire day and then driving 2 hours back with my ankle killing me. Then I saw the girl driving us back to campus, flashing her lights and everything was fine.

Anyway, the point is tonight I accidently called him during the HP club meeting and it was on more than a minute before I noticed. Thing is, I don't think he has my number (he just gave out his number to everyone for the trip in case someone needed something), so at least that's a bit of a relief. However, it's just going to be awkward if I ever have to call him for anything else or if he calls back and gets my voicemail (plus, I sort of like him).

But.....in HP club we played Wizard's Chess- Ninja crossover and it was a lot of fun even though all I did was stand there and be a pawn because I was stuck the entire time.

Procrastinating Again

I have an exam tomorrow at 11 am and I've been procrastinating studying for it, literally all day, since it is now the day of the exam. I did have an exam this afternoon and that wasn't too bad. So because I was studying for that in the beginning of the day I felt that I deserved a little down time. I guess I could say I studied for about 20 minutes today, but it probably wasn't enough. I always do this, I psych myself out with not studying a lot and then the exam turns out to be easy.

Okay, so one of the reasons I feel pretty comfortable is because the exam tomorrow is all multiple choice. Except, this also kind of freaks me out because it's a 400 level course and if it's all multiple choice it must be hard, but then again my professors freakishly nice and even said she hates tricky questions. Ahhhhh, this is my dilemma. But why worry now because I can't do anything about it now (my philosophy for everything).

Lately I have been putting off a lot of things and it's starting to give me some serious anxiety. I can't even list them because I won't be able to go to bed if I do. So as usual I'm putting them at the back of my mind. Maybe tomorrow I'll go list them and maybe that'll give me some motivation to get some of them done. It doesn't help that I'm going to Hershey Park this weekend, so that will be taking up a day of progress. Thankfully next week I only have one assignment due on Monday and then I can spend the week working on things already in progress.

Thank goodness this is my last semester of exams (before grad school that is). I'm fine with making study guides, but once they're done I don't feel like studying them. I guess making them has mostly been enough for me in the past, so hopefully it will continue to be so.
