Horrible Day

It's 3.53pm and it's officially been a horrible day. Remember the three assignments that i had due today? Well, i started and finished two of them yesterday, so i was fairly pleased with my ability to work under pressure. I was resigned to handing the last one in a little late, so was relatively calm when i got to uni for the first lecture back this term. Almost immediately, my uni buddies managed to panic me with their reviewing the assignments; i now have lost all confidence that i did a good job on them, and am much more convinced that i'll be lucky to pass.

After the lecture, i went to print the first two assignments out. The printer is broken at home, so i have to email everything to uni and come up to print it out. One printed out fine, i handed it it, no worries.The next? Didn't attatch properly. Due in approximately half an hour, there was no choice but to race home (speeding appallingly - i'll be waiting for the dozen or so speeding tickets that are sure to come - it's a 40min drive there and back, sitting exactly on the speed limit and i made it in less than 30), grabbed my pen drive and raced back again to print it out and hand it in. Finally, done, only a few minutes late.

I had coffee with Angel, we gabbed for an hour and a half. By this point, i'd given up on getting my last assignment in before the due date, so i stopped rushing. If it's going to be late, it's going to be late and it won't make a difference now. So, i've got the rest of the night to finish it. I hate uni so much at the moment; i'm not interested in it, i achieve nothing, i'm behind and just can't catch up. I seem to be chasing my tail around in a circle, with a never ending pile of work. Feeling like that doesn't make it any easier to get my ass into gear and catch up!

I have family/birthday tea tonight (albeit without my dad, whose birthdate i share, because he's on yet another business trip), wherever everyone else in my family wants to go, because i don't care. Around that, i've got to start/finish this history and philosophy essay. And prepare for my classes for tomorrow.

All that and i've been left in a fairly cranky mood. Beware.
