Update on it all
Wallet still not found. I was praying that the inherent goodness in man would prevail and that my wallet would be delivered, cash and all, to the lost and found at the circulation desk, but... Well, we'll see on Monday if the so-called business office of the library has it. If not...Mankind, I have lost faith.
Have resolved to look at the gaping hole in my bathroom ceiling as something funny that you just have to deal with when you're living on campus. Will attempt showering with said huge hole over my head tonight, and hope cockroaches and mice won't get the urge to hop down.
I worked in the morning and had the pleasure of seeing the cowbirds I helped raise be completely unafraid of me when they came down to feed. Byron (D2L, and by the way, female) was especially bold and took a walk under my chair. Usually it's RWB (also female) who's the gutsy one. Anyway, I was very careful to stay still and act tree-like. It helped that my windbreaker was green. And I've noticed that the only brave ones who ventured especially close to the big clumsy human taking focal data were the females. Ha. *nudge nudge wink wink* Girls are THAT much cooler.
I wish Darwin (R2W, and...you guessed it, female) hadn't died.;_; I really wanted to see how she would behave as an adult.
Right, and now that I've scared everyone away with my geekiness, I'll go read cell bio. Must catch up over break. Must must must!
Wow.
Like when days suck, they just really suck.
Today I took my art history midterm and came out just totally and utterly pissed at myself. I'm STILL pissed at myself. For one of the ID questions I had put down Charlemagne's Palace Chapel at Aachen, but it also looked like Justinian's San Vitale in Ravenna (Charlemagne copied the guy) and I wasn't quite sure. Then at the very very end of the exam I was going to hand it in when I somehow decided that it was San Vitale, and went back and changed everything, and then I handed it in, asked about it, and guess what?
IT WAS CHARLEMAGNE'S PALACE CHAPEL AT AACHEN.
My prof's like, "You gotta trust your gut." And I'm like, "...yeah. Hahaha." He looked awfully apologetic, which probably means I'm not going to get any partial credit even though he could see my original answer on there, clear as day.
RAWWWWAAARRRRRAAAAARRRRWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
And to top it all off, I just discovered that I lost my cash wallet. Fortunately I never carry that much cash on me and the cash wallet is a separate entity from my various plastic cards wallet, but of course I lose the damn thing when I actually HAVE money in it (20 bucks or so...? Or maybe it was 30 bucks @_@). I'm gonna go hunt for it in the library by the copy machine (which is 80 % where I left it), but...yeah.
@##$%%@#$%%&^%$#&%##$%&*!!!!!!!!
And of course, everyone's busy so there's no one to distract me from my misery. Whoop de do. I guess I'll go make myself real busy too, and hope something good happens tomorrow.
**edit** Not that anyone cares, but the day also sucked because they decided to dismantle my bathroom ceiling to fix a leak (an entire length of pipe needed to be replaced. Shows how useless those "renovations" this past summer were). Not only did it leave a mess in my bathroom that the maintenance guy couldn't really get cleaned up b/c NO ONE would give him equipment (he tried hard though, the poor man), it also sprayed rusted iron shavings on my bath towel and right now, at this very minute, there is STILL a gaping hole in my ceiling. They said they would "try" to get it covered up today, but I'm not seeing a trace of them. I guess there's not gonna be a stress relieving shower tonight.
PHOOEY ON LIFE RIGHT NOW! **end edit**
.......
Today I went to an animal behavior paper discussion headed by some psych and bio faculty plus grad students, and listened in (I was like, the only undergrad there. Pretty scary 0_o). I didn't say much because I actually hadn't read any of the papers up for discussion yet (studying for you know, that midterm thing), but after it was over one of my profs from my animal behavior course last year came up to me and introduced himself.
The prof: Hi, you're Lucy? I'm Robert. I don't believe we've met.
Me: Hi. *we shake hands* Well, actually I was in your class last year...
Prof: Yes, and I wanted to introduce myself because you really stood out in that class. (I'm not quoting exactly.)
Me: *SAY WHAT?* Oh...oh, really? Thank you!
Prof: Yes, we've capped the class at 150 now because there's just too many students, but you distinguished yourself out of 280 students.
Me: ....................really? Thank you, thank you so much!
I walked out of there feeling almost like I could fail my next orgo exam, and IT WOULDN'T MATTER. I missed the first floor where the exit was and fumbled down into the basement, where I had to pretend I was heading outside so as not to make the nice guy before me think I was a total ditz.
I DISTINGUISHED MYSELF OUT OF 280 STUDENTS???? I don't even remember what I did that was any different from other classes! I mean I got grades I was proud of, but surely other people did too??
OMG, the pressure is like, on. I'm so flattered and so overwhelmed at the same time. I don't know what to do!!!! *runs around a la headless chicken*
Ok, better go study for that art history exam or I'll get a rude awakening tomorrow regarding my intelligence in general.
OMG OMG OMG!!!! XD XD XD
