Events of Today

Today I had Fundamentals Test #5, so I did what any student does, a little cramming the night before, go to bed early, wake up, drive to test, and pray for clarity of mind. Well I'm late, I'm late everywhere I go, it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to be on time. I try, I really try but it just never happens. So I'm driving into the school parking lot and it is 8:00am, which is when my test starts. The closest spot is in BFE but I dont have time to circle the parking lot, so I park and speed walk to the testing center. No worries, students are still lined up to get into the testing center, I'm fine.

Now at this point i'm trying to stand in line, trying to cram last minute tidbits into my brain and I should have noticed that I don't know most of the people in line, but I'm trying to last minute study, so it really doesn't occur to me that anything is wrong.

Claudia, who is quite possibly the nicest lady ever, is waiting to check everyone into the test. Now I've probably taken 20 to 25 tests here, so she doesn't seem to think I'm out of place at all, but she cant find my name on her list. She says no worries, its here somewhere, go ahead into the test. So i do. I find my computer, sit down and enter the test name and password (the fact that the class number doesn't match either of the classes I'm taking doesn't really hit me because I'm in test taking mode and don't even notice. Then I enter my name, student #, and it asks for my instructor name from a list- none of which are my teachers. That's when it hit me, I'm in the wrong test! WTF! When is my test?! I got up at 7am for nothing?! SO i stroll back out to Claudia and she tells me that this is the pathophysiology test. Well I've already taken that class! My test isn't until 10am! I could be sleeping still! DAMN! And i didn't bring any study materials other than a few notes. I cant sit here for 2 hours and study these few notes, so I drive all the way home, get my book and head back to school. By the time I got back to school and looked through my notes again my friend showed up and we talked the rest of the time about her skills pass-off drama. I didn't look in my book at all!
Damn the person who decided to get us to the end of the semester and change the testing schedule on us. My Pharmacology tests were always at 10 and my Fundamentals tests were at 8. Now they have us all backwards. I think they are trying to kill us! Don't they know that we have enough on our minds! Seriously.

The irony of it all is that I try to be so organized and prepared and my very organized google calendar had the right time of the test, I just trusted my brain enough not to consult with my calendar before setting my alarm clock last night.

Then I didn't do well on my test. The good news there is that no one in my class did very well so it will be par'd and bring up all our scores (hopefully alot).

Then I went to work, I was late of course. It took me a long time to review the my notes so I know what to study more of, then to shower and eat a quick lunch (and order some tarp that Mike needed), all of which made me late to work. (As usual)
I love my job. It is a constancy in life that makes it easy. I love going somewhere that I know what i'm doing and people can rely on me. Work was good, I got off earlier than normal and Mike and I went to Costco.
I wanted root beer since I gave up caffeine, i still drink some carbonation and root beer hits the spot lately. Well, right next to the root beer was sunkist orange soda, which Mike says is gold, he loves it so we bought 2 cases. I like orange soda too! yes! More not-diet coke drinks I'm allowed to drink! So we get home with our yummmy costco pizza and are enjoying it with our orange drinks, I've drank about half of mine already when Mike starts freaking out. "This contains caffeine! You cant have any!" and he seriously takes my can of soda away. He was nice enough to go downstairs and get me a root beer but seriously? I just wanted my effing orange drink! Haven't I been through enough today to deserve one can of caffiene?!

Thank goodness the day is just about done. Tomorrow will hopefully be less eventful!
