: Random grumbling.
Today has decided, for some reason, to be an utter wanker. This twit is not a happy twit by any stretch of the imagination. Cold, tired, frustrated and frazzled would be far better descriptive terms.
I awoke early this morning in case the weather was acting up. I left a good forty-five minutes ahead of schedule in order to see a professor during his office hours. "Snow plow" seems to be a four letter word where I live, so I drove the entire distance to Burlington under fifty miles per hour. The drive took nearly two hours, and while I was on time to see the professor, he was not in his office-and according to the secretary, he would be out all morning. So much for "office hours," I suppose. By the time I made it back from his office my face and hands stung from the cold, and my ears were beginning to ache. Chemistry passed by harmlessly, and I was able to tell Giulia of my (at least temporary) success with the transmission company, and then Calculus went by easily enough... until the quiz. I was sure that I knew the material well, but the professor pulled a little trick with it-which caused me to become confused and to lose focus. I left in bad spirits, and the full extent of my sleep deprivation caught up with me. I attempted to seek out a computer on which to watch the lab video, but there were none in the library. There was also no room to sit and enjoy my lunch (hence I am sneaking bites at the Chemistry library). I might try to look at the video here, but the computer monitors are placed in such a way as to prevent head phones from being plugged in. I suppose that I could watch it as a silent film... I could pretend that the man performing the experiment is Charlie Chaplin...
Ah well, after lab I will be able to go home. There is a good twenty percent chance that the roads will have been taken care of by then. Then, the day will be more-or-less over... I hope.
I could use a nice, pleasant surprise right about now.
