The mother of all bad days.
Actually, not days. In less than 24 hours I've been somewhat miserable.
Last night at work
While putting the kettle up into the arms, the back end slipped down, pinning my hands between the handle of the kettle and the metal of the arm. Because a huge chunk of skin on my knuckle on my index finger was ripped off, I promptly bandaged it up. Trying to put a bandaid on your knuckle isn't exactly easy so I used three, that way the bandaid wouldn't come off if my finger bent. Not that it mattered, because my finger couldn't bend at all anyways. Then, leaving a stockroom, I pulled the door shut behind me, turning the handle as I did. Because my index finger wouldn't wrap around the handle, the tip of my finger was between the door and the door frame when I pulled it shut. Now I have a busted knuckle and a bruise under my fingernail on the same finger. Great.
On my way to school today.
Already running late for my bus, I got about as far as Majestic when I realize, oops. I am wearing my black vest and my bus pass is in my green vest. With not enough change to pay for two trips on the bus, and not willing to drive all the way to school, I turn around. I knew if I didn't make it back in time, I could always catch the bus at Cobequid. Which I did.
At my locker.
I go to empty my bookbag and realize that when I was changing my bags this morning I somehow left my Math binder on my bed. My binder which contained all my notes (I had a formula sheet to make for a quiz today, and a lab which I need my notes for) and my assignment that was due today. Not that skipping was even an option, I couldn't miss any of my classes as I knew we were getting an assignment in Physiology, we had a quiz in Math, and an essay due in English. My only option would be to talk to my Prof and see if I could pass my assignment in late (as I would go home for the 1.5 hr between English class and my math lab). Luckily, the girl who sits beside me had copied my notes for the quiz topic on Tuesday and I was able to use her notes to copy out my formula sheet. But I still had a missing assignment. However, John lets us have until 4 to pass in our assignment, so I explained that I had left mine at home and asked if he had an extra copy of the assignment (I remembered all my answers, so I figured I'd just redo it, it wasn't hard). Anyways, he was fine with that. But oh wait, that's not all.
On my way to English class.
You remember that essay I said was due? I remembered my disk, and I remembered to print it off. But on my way to class I realized that Dr. Orser wanted the rough draft passed in as well. And do you think I had it? No. I forgot THAT as well. Even though my prof said I could just hand that part of the essay in on Tuesday, I was feeling pretty defeated. Sitting in class I think I may have had a mild anxiety attack.
So that was my day.
After school I went to Wal Mart and bought some cream I used of Tawny's when I was up there. I've just used it once so far on my hands and already I see a world of difference. I have a feeling I'm going to become very good friends with this cream. When I got home I wrapped Mom's present and gave it to her. Then her, Dad, and me went to May Garden's for supper. It was really really good.
What's on the go for the weekend?
I work tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday 530-11. And I'm at the daycare 9-12 on Saturday morning. And Saturday afternoon I have to go right to the library and do mad research. Sunday I have to study until work. So tomorrow after my chem class Krystyna and me are going to see The Libertine at Park Lane, because you know. I'll be working like a mad woman the rest of the weekend.
Knitting?
Sadly, I haven't been able to knit lately as I don't really have a lot of time, unless I do it on the bus, and don't want to attempt a scarf with only one color. I want to do it just like the book tells me with the same size needles and I haven't been able to afford my supplies. But in Wal Mart today I did go by the knitting section and I now covet a pair of fushcia needles (I think 15"?) and there were a few smaller pairs that I love (mainly for the color, I know...I'm a geek). Tawny, look what you've created. But, I bet you're proud.
Oh, PS
Although I am incredibly exciting to be crossing the Atlantic once again this Spring, I'm a bit disappointed that I won't be here on May 12th. Why? Because Our Lady Peace is coming to Halifax on that day, and I've always vowed that the next time they came here, I'd go. Oh well, you can't have the best of both worlds :)

Sorry to hear about your rough day - but just an FYI - when you start knitting on the bus or bringing your knitting to knit a few rows between classes, you'll realize just how relaxing knitting can be! Whenever I'm having a bad moment or need a break from something I pick up my knitting and it calms me down :).
