Sep. 18th, 2004 12:46 pmso last night I was stressing about going to the game... went better than I expected, anyway, though not as good as it could've. I'm not elaborating on that.
Blar. So Academic Challenge this morning went horribly, anyway. The second and fourth seats at our table had defective buzzers, and I was in the second. so during the pre-air test (it's aired on the radio) I hit the button, and nothing happened. GAH. but the judge said that a light went out when someone buzzed in... I was still really freaked out, though, stuff going wrong bugs me. a lot. so I didn't answer much because my brain was going "HOLY SHIT STUFF ISN'T WORKING RIGHT ARGH". And when I DID try and buzz in, finally, he didn't notice and the question went to the other team instead even though I attempted to buzz in 5 seconds before. I called the judge on it and the question was invalidated, but bleh.
and then there was the lightning round and my brain STILL was not working, and I fucked that up horribly too because I was team captain for the day and I couldn't come up with ANY answers because I was so panicky from the buzzer thing. I switched to a seat with a functional buzzer for round 3, and picked up some slack, but... meh.
We lost anyway, 120 - 155, but we ALWAYS lose to Bridgman and that's a lot smaller of a margin than the 55 - 115 we had going after the lightning round. but I just feel like shit, because I fucked up. and now I'm not going to get the team captainship even though I have the most seniority, because I FUCKED UP. blaaah. need to die.
and now I should write one of my two papers, but I'm not motivated. but I have 5 1/2 hours to kill, so yeah. Haunted House opens at 8 tonight, but I want parking so I'm picking up Dolphy at 6:30, so we should get there at 7 and that's about right. Eric The Amazing Asshat said that him & I (we got paired up back with him as my chaperone before Mark had me just lie and say I'm 18) were supposed to work last night, but my schedule said tonight so if I missed last night and am not needed tonight then that's Mark's problem, not mine, because he wrote the fucking schedule that I have. there are a lot of "but"s in that paragraph, hm.
and I still have the same goddamn headache I've had since Wednesday.
