25th February, 2002. 10:32 pm. bad day...

Series of bad luck today... they're not that bad individually, but when combined and when received consecutively, it sucks. I didn't go out to the high school today cuz I had trouble sleeping again last night, which made it really difficult to wake up this morning. I was just so stressed last night because I was worried about organizing myself and finishing up this quarter. I still need like 30 hours at the high school and it's already 8th week (there's only 10 weeks in a quarter). So I'll have to work my ass off. But as the quarter's ending, I also should start preparing for finals, since my two Physics one are on the same day. But if I'm putting in all these hours at the high school, when do I study?! Then I just found out my SPC interview is tomorrow during my break. So I'll have to haul ass back here, get dressed, interview, then haul ass back to school.

Then, I had lab tonight, so I assumed they were all on the other side of campus, so I drove and parked my car there, walked to lecture, which is on the side of campus close to where I live. The plan was so when I have to haul ass to the other side of campus after lecture for lab, I can just drive back home so I can make it to Alpha Phi meeting. At the end of lecture, my friend tells me that labs are in two locations, one on the far side of campus, and one right next to where I live! Damn, so I walk to my car, debating if I should just go to lab on the far side since I'm there anyway, but decide in the end to drive back to the close side of campus and be late for lab. That way, for the next couple labs, I don't have to worry about being so far.

So I start doing the lab. It was on a MAC, something I'm not familiar with since I'm a PC user. We had to watch a series of videos and write short essays about them. There were six essays. These MACs were old and had a crappy mouse and crappy keyboard. It sucked everytime I made a mistake cuz the crappy machines were difficult to scroll and move my cursor. So on the fifth question, I decided that it sucked always having to use the arrow keys and a broken mouse to backspace, which only deletes letters in front of the cursor, so I see a clear button, which I assumed to be the PCs delete button equivilant. Since I only needed to delete one letter that was in front of the cursor, I didn't want to go through the hassle with the crappy equipment, so I push the clear button. It cleared EVERYTHING! I try to undo by pressing apple and z, but it doesn't do anything. I call the lab tech guy over, but he has broken english and doesn't care either. So I bitterly typed everything all over again. Then when I was done, I hear the lab tech guy telling someone that our responses do not effect our grades! We're just test subjects! So I could've written crap and didn't have to stay and extra hour in lab! Boy, what a poopy day.

THEN, at the end of Alpha Phi meeting, Ev tells me that we can't go alum next year! International decided to change their policy and now just cuz you'll be a fifth year, you have to stay active until you actually graduate or have been in for four years! AH! I planned my next year without Alpha Phi. I thought I had room to do other things already and planned on it. I will still go through with the SPC thing, but damn... I don't have time. I need next year to prepare for my future. I didn't want a busy year next year, even though it seems like it will be anyway. But more importantly, if I knew I couldn't go alum, I would've ran for a position or something. I don't want to be here for a whole year doing nothing. I already took on the whole senior attitude! This really sucks donkey balls (sorry for taking your line, Jonathan).

I feel so stressed, and then stupid for stressing over such petty things. I just want this quarter to be over! I'm sick of this quarter... need something new. I wish there was only 7 weeks in a quarter. I know... I know... I said this last quarter around the same time, but seriously, it would be perfect! 10 weeks is just too long! They should have 4 seven weeks quarters... that'd be cool. More options for classes, and more frequent changes. yay! One day...

Current mood: bitchy.
