Earth Day. It happened. Perhaps I will reflect on it more thoroughly later. For now, let's just say that all I really wanted to do was take a walk. Instead, I was stressed and unpleasant. Sorry, folks.

I went to bed early, as the stress of Earth Day knocked me out. Whoosh. Asleep at 11:00. I forgot to turn on my alarm and ended up sleeping through my 9:20 class. I woke up at 10:40-ish, just in time to be late to my 10:40 class. If you do the math, you'll realize I slept for almost 12 hours. My goodness. I am habitually sleep deprived, and my body hates it.

And here I am, procrastinating at 2:30 am. Fantastic.

I was poking at my grades for one of my classes. In fact, I was poking at my grades in PSYC450, Advanced Social Psychology with lab. I have lots of excuses for my poor grades this semester, but I won't go into them now. They involve messy interpersonal things that I can't handle at this hour. Anyway, I've been really worried about my grades in PSYC450, but I fiddled with my calculator a bit and realized that if I do a fantastic job on my final research proposal and lab 4, I can probably get a B. B's are not worrisome at all, and I would be tickled pink to have that on my report card. Positively pink, I say. I will be somewhat upset to get worse than that, as I like my grades to stay in the first two letters of the alphabet. In fact, if I do perfectly on everything, I might even be borderline A, and I've participated my ass off during discussions, so she'd probably bump me up. But perfection is unlikely, and I'd be happy with a B or B+.

Oh, grades. You are so silly and don't reflect learning at all, but I worry about you so.
