Today was pretty draining.

The weather...
The people...
The fact that I missed two buses and got to class late for my final exam...

I arrived around 11am for a 10:30am final. I really don't know how much earlier a girl needs to leave in order to get to class on time. I leave on the bus anywhere from 1.5 - 2 hours early before class starts. I missed my usual bus I take and missing that one already means I'll be arriving to class 30 minutes if I take the next bus (buses run every 30 minutes, generally, with a few exceptions on certain bus routes and light rail). So I take another bus route as a 'wild card route' in hopes of getting to class only 1 or 2 minutes late.

Nope.

I don't even know why I tried it. I knew what would happen because it happened last time... I'm stuck on the bus in traffic at a red light when I see the bus I'm supposed to be catching whooshing by the bus stop because it has the green light and it can do that. Anyway, I still arrived to class around 11am, just as I would have if I took the other bus route.

Being late to this class was really not that big of a deal. My teacher (who is retiring this semester!) was cool with it because a) it's theatre class b) everyone is always late to this particular class c) they're theatre people and d) theatre people are notorious for being late. And I knew the final was just gonna consist of us watching a video (we watched 'Spirit') and then analyzing the video using all we learned in class (such as what is the inciting incident, climax, symbols, external conflict, internal conflict, etc.). I really don't know if I did well on it still, but it's still better than taking an exam over everything we learned this semester like my teacher had originally planned (from Greek to Shakespeare and Neoclassism to Asian/African Theatre and the 10 zillion genres that fall under "Modern Theatre")... I was glad the test was not on all of that. Or what if it was? I may have done well on it. I did on the unit tests during the semester.

Whatever.

I just hope my final grade is still an A. I saw a print out of my grade today and it's a low A. I really don't know what percentage of my grade the final will be. I have it on the class syllabus somewhere, but I'm too scared to look.

After class, I was pretty happy to go to work although I was still feeling mopey. (I had been crying on the way to my final. I just hate when you're determined to get somewhere on time and shit stops you from doing that. Is it so bad to cry about it? I was extremely frustrated. I cried silently though! I promise. I also had a hat on. No one could see me. People don't look at me. EVER.)

Anyway, what was I saying about work? Ah, yes... I arrived and work and just wanted the day to end. I got back on track with reading Harry Potter #7! That was cool. I renewed my interest in what's going on in that book. Last time I read it I was on chapter 24 somewhere. I read a few chapters today. It's getting so good. Why is that book so good? Ugh! I'm really gonna be sad when there are no more Harry Potter's to read. :( I may end up being one of those people who re-read them. We shall see.

Ummm, so yeah after work, I went and cashed in my text book. $40 for used book that originally cost $90! Woo! (It's a softcover book, so it's pretty cheap in general.)

I was feeling so famished as I got closer to home. This morning, I had walked into a Circle K for like the first time in my life and bought a SlimFast shake and Nutrigrain bar for breakfast. Grabbed an iced soy chai from my school's coffee shop (which I immediately regretted when I whipped out my debit card; they charge more than the corporate coffee shops; $5-6... agh) and bought two dark chocolate almond bars for lunch while at work (leftover from our March of Dimes donation candy sale donation). Oh and green tea I made myself. If I had had a lunch break, I would have eaten more. But despite my feeling tired and irritable, I feel thin and that's all that matters. Haha.

Anyway... I sort of picked at my skin today. I have some scabs on my face I can't seem to leave alone. That's about the news I have to offer on the skin-front today. (Pretty much the same as everyday... pretty boring, haha.)

Oh! And President Obama is speaking at ASU's graduation in the next town over from mine tonight... pretty nifty. Can't imagine the traffice over THERE. I also wonder if anyone I know is graduating tonight. If so, they have a more of an accomplished life than I do -- whether or not Obama is speaking.

Here's to hoping the fact that summer is here sets into my brainz, so I can feel jovial again! Umm, maybe I should just eat more?

Nah. Don't wanna feel bloated. I'd rather feel skeletory than bloated and fat any day. Woo!
