Is is the Weekend yet?
Today has been such a blur. I can hardly even remember much of what happened and it doesn't even feel like it happened today. That's because I didn't sleep last night.
I had to do this group presentation to present today. Today is the first day back to school after Reading Week. I've been home for almost two weeks; the last thing on my mind was school work. Not to mention, the girls in my group live in different cities and neither of them contacted me about the presentation info (I had all of it [they were just out in a group with me]). I e-mailed our teacher on Saturday asking for an extension and saying we weren't prepared. She told me that we HAD to go on our presentation date. Sunday I got back in London at almost 9pm. We had to catch a bus closest to the school as we could, then take a cab directly to our school because I had forgot the instructions in my locker. So at 9:45pm on a Sunday night, I went to the college to get the instructions for a presentation that I had to present at 8am the next morning.
I knew the other girls in my group had done nothing. They've put forth absolutely no effort. For all I knew, they probably wouldn't even show up for class. Which is better for me because then I would get all the credit for a project I did all by myself. All I knew was that I didn't want to get a failing grade on a presentation worth 25% of my final mark. I started working on it at 10pm and by 5am I finally finished it. I had a PowerPoint presentation as well as a full script, in case the other girls did show up and our teacher made them present.
I had to be awake for 6:30am so instead of putting in a cat nap, which I knew would make me for tired, I decided to stay awake since I didn't feel all that exhausted anyway. So I went to class and walked in to see that the other girls in my group had NOT showed up and I was really happy. I figured my teacher wouldn't make me present a three-person presentation by myself. When class started, I realized I forgot to print something so I left class and when I came back one of the girls from my group had showed a bit late to class. I wasn't happy. Not only would I have to do an oral presentation, but this one was going to get marks for a project she did not contribute, or even realize was due today.
We presented our project and to be honest, I think we did pretty good. It would have been a total disaster if I hadn't made the script, and I'm such a perfectionist so the PowerPoint was well-done. I grabbed lunch with Sean after his class, but then I had to keep going on no-sleep because I had an assignment due in my Communications class. I went to that class and finished the assignment, but I knew I couldn't keep going. I couldn't concentrate and my eyes were heavy. By 1pm I had no go back to the house and sleep. I unfortunately missed my last class where I had yet another assignment due, but it turns out I don't even need this class when transferring to St.Clair so I'm not too worried about getting a high mark.
This is going to be one very long week. By the way, is it warm out YET? I'm so sick of the cold. Hurry up spring, please!
30 Days of Music
Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry - i try to listen to smooth, calming songs when I'm angry to help calm me down. Songs such as Breathe (2am) by Anna Nalick
Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you’re happy - Well, this one if hard because when I'm happy I don't think to listen to a song like I would if I were mad or sad. I'll go with hyper then, and that would have to be Doctor Jones by Aqua.
