Stay Out of My Way!

I am crabby. I am straight up, totally, and completely crabby. There is no way of getting around this right now.

My shower this morning was cold. Not lukewarm but bitter, freezing cold. Something must be up with my apartments water heater, because it was a nightmare. I stood outside of the stream of water with my head upside down in it in attempt to wash my hair. Then I jumped into the water, jumped out, lathered up with soap, jumped in to rinse, and got the fuck out of that torture chamber. The cold water gave me a headache.

I registered for a summer class before I left for school. No surprise here; I knew this was coming. It’s nutrition and I’m taking it from June 1- July 1. It’s Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6-9:30pm (it’s the only time that it was offered) which sucks because I loathe night class, but it’ll have to do. I was either going to have to take this class during the summer or during the month of December (J-term), so I guess it’ll be better to get it out of the way.

It took me an hour to get to class today because some idiot didn’t check his blind spot on the interstate. Thankfully I wasn’t hit, but a car about a mile ahead of me was. Traffic was stopped, literally stopped for a solid 20 minutes and then moved at a snails pace for the next 30 minutes or so. So, that totals 50 minutes on a stretch of highway that usually takes me about 5 to maneuver. Nobody was hurt, but his car was totaled. Way to go, moron.

It is FREEZING outside today. The thermometer says 2 degrees but with the windchill (according to weather.com) we’re sitting at about -18 degrees. With gusts of wind up to 20 miles per hour. And of course I didn’t check the weather before I left for class this morning so I left without wearing a hood or a hat. And because I was so late for school I had to park in the far parking lot. I nearly froze my face off walking to the other side of campus.

I got a B on my stats exam, which is a complete disappointment (I got a 98% on the last one). I made stupid mistake after stupid mistake, just like I always do when I’m trying to figure out equations. I somehow managed to change the sign (from negative to positive) on one of my problems and that set me back 5 points alone. I mean, can be any more retarded (I’m sorry, I mean that in the least offensive way possible)? It’s ridiculous!

I took a chemistry quiz this afternoon. I knew how to do the problem (which is a huge deal because the last few quizzes have left me staring blankly at the paper), but once again did a stupid mathamatical error. I mean, how does one divide when they should have multiplied? Didn’t I learn how to do all of that stuff in, like, elementary school? Did I not drudge my way through the advanced math classes of middle and high school? I didn’t do poorly when I took all of those classes in high school. So what gives now? I can write and re-write the problems out and at times I’ll get 10 different answers if I do it 10 different times because I make stupid errors in different places every time. It makes me want to bang my head against the wall because, clearly, I know how to do the problem. I just can’t get the right answer because I switch things around in my head! And I know that I’m not dyslexic because I never had problems like this before college.

Next up is physiology class. I’ll be getting another exam back in that class. It’s either going to push me down further or brighten my day. At this point, there really is no telling but I’m going to assume that I did poorly on it even though I feel as though I did alright. It’s just one of those days. Surely I misread problems.

I know, I know, I need to chill out. Life isn’t that bad. But why does it seem that when things are good they’re really good and when things are bad they’re really bad? Why can’t life just be at a happy medium all the time? It’d make me feel more normal and less bipolar.

I think I need to get laid.
