Today has already been filled with a lot of emotions. And It's not even 11 AM yet... So I took my last midterm last night for the class that I'm taking. The way I was planning on doing it was to take my last midterm this week, and then take my proctored final next Tuesday. It's not due until next Thursday, or so I thought, so it should be fine. Right? WRONG!
OK, first emotion of the day. It's not really an emotion, but I was really tired. And with that tiredness came a little bit of grumpiness. But it's normal for me. I'm not a morning person. Give me 30-40 minutes (depending on how early it is) and I'm fine. So onto the next emotion.
I was super excited this morning. It's our work Potluck lunch and Yankee Swap. It's a really fun afternoon and I got to work and started playing Christmas music and it was just so exciting! So after I got that figured out, I went to my desk to sit and do some work for a bit.
Onto the next emotion. Extreme anger and panic. I logged onto my school's website to see something, and checked my school email, which I only do about once a week. There were 4 emails there that were unread. 4! Until this morning, I had only seen 4 emails total this semester! And then I saw the subject lines. There were something to the affect of "Final due THIS THURSDAY THE 13!!!"
OH NO! So I looked into it, and apparently, our final was due yesterday. The syllabus was wrong. Our teacher was wrong. And she only gave us 2 days notice. And that was the only form that she told us that the due date had changed.
Hence the panic for the next hour. If we didn't take our final, we failed the class. I had worked my butt off during the last 4 months to do well and I was about to see it go down the drain.
So I sent her a text (her preferred way of communication) and after about 40 minutes, I got a response saying that she just averaged my midterm grades and that I got an A.
WHAT?!!?? Did that really just happen?!
So as a recap, here were my emotions for the day so far (and there's potential for more!)
1. Tired/Grumy
2. Excited
3. Anger/Panic
4. Extreme Relief
5. Excited
How's that for a whirlwind of a morning?! :)
