Music: Bis - We're Complicated
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm having a bit of an existential crisis right now.

Remember that Spanish paper I was bitching and moaning about? Well more shit happened with that due date of 10 pm on Friday than I can ever hope to make anyone understand, including myself. I worked for hours on that paper before finally turning it in at 6:00 pm. I didn't get around to checking my email until around 10, when I saw an email from the professor saying that the paper was due Saturday and we had to have a cover sheet. I had already turned it in, so I couldn't do anything about it. I was so busy making up work on Sunday that I again didn't check my email until late. *This one* said that our papers had sucked and we had to pick them up and correct them for Monday. That left me with no time to pick up my essay on that day, so I went after Italian today.

I get to it, and the whole fuckin' thing is covered in yellow high-lighter and pen. I can't even read some of her comments! I want to correct it and do well, but I don't know what the fuck to correct! And some of it is just stupid little stuff like using "reprecussions" instead of "consequences." And I'm so sorry I didn't make sure that the margins were 1" instead of the 1.25" that comes as a default on MS Word! She's insisting that she's not grading this essay, but what the hell am I going to do about the rest of them for the semester if my first one was such a waste of paper and ink!?

And then I get this patronizing little note in the top left corner: "Don't panic - Just look at the gramatical corrections!"

Well...I'm panicing. I'm the QUEEN of panicing.

I did everything she told us to do. I turned it in on Friday. I made it two pages. I read it aloud twice. I did two runs of corrections. And this is what happens. Since I didn't check my email because I was too busy working, I'm screwed. And now she hasn't even responded to my email asking her when they're due by today...

I should just transfer out....but...I'm just stubborn...plus the only other class that fits in my schedule is one that I heard was really boring and pointless. If I were to transfer, I'd have to find some way to do it by tomorrow, and that's just not happening. I'm stuck. But at least it's only once a week of torture as oppossed to the three times a week nightmare that Human Impact on the Environment was.

Alright...I still have IR Theory to read. At least that's an *interesting* class...
