Oh College. It seems like every time I am finally on top of things, college turns around and smacks me in the face. Take today for example. Despite waking up late, I was feeling very productive. I got a lot of my homework done, had lunch with my Dad, and then I went to class and everything went downhill. When I got to class everyone was turning something in. I immediately began to panic because I had no idea that anything was due. I checked the syllabus and, sure enough, there was a major assignment due that I had not done any work on. I remembered being assigned this assignment, but for some reason I never made note of the due date. Needless to say, I spent class trying to figure out what to do about my predicament. After class I came back to the dorm and sent an e-mail to the TA explaining my poor planning and general freshman attitude that had resulted in me forgetting my assignment. Then, I just felt like....doing nothing. So that's what I did. I read some, but other than that, all feelings of productivity have left me for the day. It's funny how one single event like that can totally turn my day upside down. I have now started working on my forgotten assignment and I hope I can at least submit it for partial credit. Hopefully I have learned my lesson. On a happier note....well, at this point I don't really know if there is a happier note. I guess the fact that my room mate made dinner tonight helped a little.
On a different note, tomorrow is Wednesday, which means...class all day! Yes! I can't wait. Or maybe I can. Wednesdays are always interesting because I have class from 9-2 and then I have a 5-9 films class at night. My films class is definitely.....different. I feel like it has so much to teach me, but I am barely scratching the surface. I'm trying to apply everything I am learning in that class, and it just seems like too much work. I am trying though, and it really is making a difference in how I view film and the world in general for that matter. I guess I have the professor to thank for that. He is one of the smartest and most eclectic people I have ever met. To me he epitomizes my view of a typical college professor: casual, collected, and absolutely brilliant. Well, I've reached my ten minute post limit. Until next time...Go Cougs!
