Well that sucked

Today was a real beast. Didn't sleep well last night. Worried about chemistry: exam on Wednesday, lab this afternoon. Little time to study, as most of tomorrow will be spent either getting my ID for or starting to volunteer at New York Presbyterian Hospital on 168th St. Made it through calc and chem lectures, dead tired. Headed down the hill for a nap. Slept for half an hour, felt better, rode back up to campus for lab. Realised I'd forgotten my keys. Can't do lab without them, nor can I lock my bike to anything. So, 5 minutes before lab starts, head back down the hill. Am now locked out of my apartment. Track down the building super, who is able to jimmy the lock on my door, as I hadn't completely locked it (no keys, right?). Get my keys, get back up the hill. Have to print something out for lab. Some chick is printing a pdf, which takes forever. Make it to the lab lecture 30 minutes late. Quiz is already over. TAs say they need to decide whether or not I can take it. Head upstairs to run the lab. Instructions are pretty unclear. I think I got it all. Don't really know. Don't know how I did on the last lab either. Am starting to get pissed about that. TA decides I have 10 minutes to take quiz. I realize I don't know jack about error analysis. Hand back quiz after guessing on several questions. Damn.

All is not lost, however. The Decemberists are playing Webster Hall, and I have tickets. So after my Chinese dinner gets delivered, and I eat, I head down to E14th St to hear Lou Barlow of Sebadoh, Norfolk & Western, and the Decemberists. It's a good thing too. Otherwise today would have completely sucked.
