Sep. 12th, 2006 01:29 pmMy allergies were kicking my ass horribly yesterday, so I decided to call out of work and spend the entire day watching bad television while firmly planted on the couch. Unfortunately, the apartment building Powers That Be decided it was a FINE day for grass-mowing and mowed all the lawns near the building. I live on the ground floor. All my windows were open. My sinuses, they wept.
I also managed to completely forget that it was the five-year anniversary of 09-11-01 and thusly, spent the first two hours of being awake being incredibly depressed and angry as I watched the old footage of people jumping from the towers. Finally, I changed the channel to the Food Network because it was the only station that was safe.
I hadn't been planning on going to my Algebra class, but by mid-day, I was starting to perk up a bit. So, I washed my hair and got changed into non-cat hair covered clothing. Got outside and started getting into my car.
Where I proceeded to bang my head on the car door as I was getting in. First I hit the window with my ear, bounced off of it and hit the actual car. Then I bounced off that and hit the window again. With my head. I rang my fucking skull like a bell clapper. It still aches a bit and my ear is all puffy and sore. On the way to class, some bird flying overhead dropped its dead prey on the hood of my car. *splat* Ugh.
My Algebra class went rather well, so the rest of my night wasn't spent sulking. And the Engineer found me in rather good spirits, as I'd completely forgotten about all the mess that had happened earlier in the day. Amazing, the power of Algebra.
I'm not as dumb as I thought I was!
I'm not too psyched about English class tonight, though. The professor had mentioned last week that he might have us pair up into teams and brainstorm with each other about our essays that are due next week. I don't need to pair up with anybody. I don't need to brainstorm with anybody. I really hate activities like that, especially when everyone who sits on my side of the room look like meatheads. The same kind of meatheads that I ferociously hated in high school.
I just want to write my essay, by myself, in peace.
