Monday-Oct18, around 4pm. This day has been a little bland. Alas, I have a posting yet. As I sit here typing into my text box and occasionally glancing over the hundreds of heads here in the GSU computer lab, I begin to realize this is point in my day I'm simply forcing myself to stay at school just in case I remember something I was supposed to do while here. Inevitably though, I will get home and remember what it was...usually theres a list, and I wonder to myself how I forgot. Last night I got to my apt really late. So late I attempted to just stay up all night and be groggy all day. Well, for starters, I'm glad I didn't because I had a test at 1:30pm. At 4:30am it was freezing in my apt so I went upstairs and turned on the heat. Then I put another comforter on my bed and climbed in. At first I couldnt sleep, as usual, but eventurally drifted off...some random dreams ensued promptly and followed me into my slapping the snooze at 6am. I successfully dreamed along to various 92.9 picks every 9 mins until about 7, then I got up and took a shower. I was still recovering from coffee overdose on the drive up so I've avoided the Starbucks (or Seattles Best) for today. I hid four braids in in my hair, and clopped out the door to my car, to the marta station, and onto the train. Anyway, my first task for the day was visiting my Social Psych prof to plead for forgiveness in an err of communication where I ended up not sending an email I was supposed to by Oct4. In our syllabus it said there was a 4pt reduction from our final paper grade for every day our proposal topic was late. Thursday I realized my unintentional error and thought "oh crap, aw man, that's 28pts by now," Friday I wrote a letter, sent an email, and called, so he emailed me and told me to come see him this morning. When I got there I walked in and said "Hi, I'm Rachel" and he smiled this WONDERFULLY comforting smile and said "I got your letter, you dont need to worry about any penalties, there isnt a real one, I just wanted to give you guys some incentive to get it in at some point" and I said "ah ha, scare tactics eh?" and he said "yes indeed." He's a really swell guy anyway and I didn't think I was going to have to worry. But he was impressed at my expressivly frantic letter I'd left for him on Friday...I think it's the only time I've ever actually ACTED frantic in school. Because I rarely actually feel frantic, it's more like I know i SHOULD feel frantic, that most overacheivers WOULD feel frantic, but I never do, I just think "well, now what" and do whatever I think is necessary. Some would say I dont care enough, but I'm glad I'm not a worry-wort. What's the point? Sure this is a big bad rat-race and you gotta jump on to get with it, but guess what else...it's just life, it's just a game. Theres too much other stuff to enjoy.
Speaking of, I'm about to go enjoy the city air on the way to the train that will take me to the East Lake station where my car is, and then drive the 5mins to the abode I share with Jeanne and Sou Yong/aka "Susan". I had pretzles for lunch today and I think theres some 98% fat free minestrone soup on one of the shelves in the kitchen. And even thought I should, I dont think I'm going to ride today. I think I need to study, or something, you know...studious...I'm constantly asking myself "what would a GOOD student do?" Hehe. Well, I make B's without too much effort, so I guess I should go ahead and start cracking down and plug out some A's for the semester. This could be one of the more boring postings I've had. Me? Boring? NEVER!
