Bad day?

Seems like I wasn't the only one with a bad day.

These are the things that I would like to blame my bad day on. These will be both personal and situational attributions.

-lack of sleep

-neglecting my studies

-focusing on my social life

-not caring enough

-opportunity

-need

I believe the beginning of my bad day began last night when I was studying for my test that I had this morning. I was only up until three, so it was a normal hour really. I kind of studied last night, but I was mostly hanging out with a friend while he played the piano in the Bishop's Lounge. That would be a combination of me neglecting my studies and needing to focus on my social life, which I did all weekend prior to this as well. It's my last free weekend! I go back to work at Applebee's on Friday. :( Anyways, I went home and set my alarm for like 6:30 because then I could get in a short work out and shower before my exam. Did not wake up until two hours later, so I had to rush to get "ready". I wouldn't call what I looked like ready. But, this already put me in a foul mood because I do not like being rushed. I enjoy taking my time and being semi early for things. Especially on mornings such as this one so that I could look over my notes one last time and relax a little before my test. That didn't happen and quite honestly I do not feel good about my exam, which I expected. That didn't help my morning out at all. I then had to ask for rent and wait on it, which is super annoying. Our rent is due the first of every month, but somehow that little fact gets forgotten. I do not like being late on rent or bills. I'm seriously worried what will happen when I'm not responsible for it anymore (for our house). I predict late fees.

Then I went to work where I learned some news that could potentially make my extracurricular work a little more difficult, but it will be fine. I will be able to handle it. Fortunately, they are tasks that I do not necessarily see as work because I enjoy doing them so much. I just don't know what the consequences will be. It's not a hard job to do, it's just that the people responsible for it don't care enough to execute things the best that they can.

Also, I am only taking nine hours of classes (work wise it's more like....six), but with everything else I do, I've realized that I'm falling behind. But I can't blame it all on my extracurricular activities, I have to blame it on myself as well. I'm going back to work at Applebee's for one thing. My supervisor thinks I'm crazy, but I need the money. Well, I don't need it, but it's nice to have. Also, I'm doing so much with internship that it's crazy. I'm also working on my application for the New York program. I have to put together a portfolio? Seriously, what is that? I just learned what my passion was a year ago. That's another thing, I don't want to bust my ass in a class I'm not motivated in when I won't even be using the information in the future. I should have been a Business/Comm major. Honestly.

OA made me sad today as well because we got our mentee's progress report and it seriously made me sad. I wish I could spend more time with my mentee, but I don't think she wants it. Her grades are average and below. I want to help her, but I can only do so much with the little time I have with her. I talked to her about her grades and she seems cooperative, but I know that she doesn't have that same encouragement at home. Hopefully next week she'll come with more homework to work on.

Then I had an unnecessary spat with a friend. I will just attribute this to him feeling ill. It just completely capped off my unsatisfying day.
