Tell me, why do shite things wait until your period is due and you are feeling shite anyway to happen?

I got a random bollocking off my tutor just now, because he caught me off guard while walking down the highstreet, and asked what I was going to do my seminar on, and instead of saying something along the lines of 'I'm still contemplating all the options' or 'it's a choice between Kermode and ... (nyeh, I've forgotten his name, but I knew it then)' I just said umm umm umm I don't know. Even though the former is true. I've done my reading. I've just done so much reading I don't yet know which of it I'm going to talk about.

I wasn't even in college working, I was walking down the highstreet which clearly entails slacking, so he gave me an extra special dirty look, even though the only REASON I wasn't in college was that I was going to blackwells to get a book I needed. But I didn't tell him THAT either. I just ran away.

As for the rest of the day, well I accidentally locked my door on the way out to give my borrowed keys in to the porter to be recut. So I was locked out of my room, and all my books were locked in. I then failed to read in the library for about three hours, almost fainted, and then went to blackwells for this book. And THEN got that bollocking off my tutor. I then went to pick up my keys, and accidentally took the yellow form I was supposed to leave with them with me. So they phoned me and I had to go and give it back, which was a spectacular waste of fifteen minutes of my life AND made me feel extra specially stupid. I then yelled at one of my classmates for no particularly good reason (my tutor had said he was supposed to give me a reading list. He swears blind it's not true) and went to play with my computer. Which was blinking with funny error messages and may or may not be infected with a virus. Of the 'downloaded itself onto my temp memory off the internet' rather than the 'you were stupid and opened a stupid e-mail' type. But even so, please, PLEASE, do not open anything from me that you don't recognise with a dodgy looking attatchment. I'll repeat that in caps for the folks who weren't listening.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM ME IT MAY CONTAIN A VIRUS. SORRY.

So. That's my shite day so far. AND on top of it all I feel like crap. I'd be seriously thinking about going back to bed and not coming out if it wasn't for the fact that then I really REALLY wouldn't get my work done.

Not much more that can be said really, is there? Apart from what a bastard tutor to corner you on the street for something like that! At least mine is too shy to do more than mumble "hello" at me.
Oh, and I'm feeling the same on the work front, staring at the computer failing to generate anything...

why is it that tutors think that 'ummmmm' means 'actually ive been slacking and hoped you wouldnt notice.' i mean, does anyone actually slack and then say ummmmmm? most slackers i know are also too good at bulshitting for that kind of thing.
dr evil hacker interpreted 'i don't know' (answer to 'what do YOU think substance is?') as 'i havent done any of the reading for this, my first tutorial with you and was hoping i could get away with it because its my tute partners turn ot read.' cue him being very mean :-(
much sympathy for pmt and general crappiness.

My tutor currently seems to be at the stage where she blanks me in the street, which I find is greatly preferable to attempted conversation. That aside...*large volumes of sympathy*

I usually don't mind my tutor talking to me in the street. He's usually friendly and sometimes useful. And in fact I probably wouldn't have taken it so badly if I hadn't been having a crappy day anyway.
I felt very much like you when dealing with the Yellow Form of Doom. In that I didn't want to talk to them so I just took it and hoped it would be obvious what I was supposed to do with it, so of course it turned out what I should have done with it was not take it at all... and I thought of you and the not contradicting people. Not quite the same thing. But close.

You see, it's so easy to fall into my way of doing things. Next thing you know, you'll be blushing at the drop of a hat, and then there'll be nothing for it but to wish you happy birthday.
